The elitists are running scared of JD Vance

Recently, there was an article in Politico magazine that got a great deal of attention from the left, about Vice President JD Vance and why he “Befuddles the World.” But it’s really not so befuddling after all.

Because so many on the left live in elite-entrenched bubbles floating high above the working classes they purport to lead and lecture, they have absolutely no idea what actually resonates with the people. Should there be an upcoming presidential campaign for Vance as we approach 2028, I suspect those in his “kitchen Cabinet” will be thrilled to bookmark this “hit piece” as a way to demonstrate to the Republican base, independents and Democratic voters that Vance is fighting for precisely what is best for them and their children. 

To understand the siloed mindset of the anonymous diplomats being quoted in the piece, we need only look at a recent criticism of far-left New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), by none other than the vice president. While on Fox News, Vance was asked to comment on the now widely ridiculed appearance of Ocasio Cortez at the Munich Security Conference, where she flubbed a softball question regarding Taiwan’s security.       

“Well, I think it’s a person who doesn’t know what she actually thinks,” he said. “I’ve seen this way too much in Washington with politicians where they’re given lines, and when you ask them to go outside the lines they were given, they completely fall apart.” 

Vance could not be more correct. Too many........
