Vice President J.D. Vance
I keep seeing opinion polls that show very low approval for the current Vice President. I can understand partisan Democrats and other assorted leftists disapproving but, he’s clearly among the better public officials today. Having read his best-selling book (Hillbilly Elegy) and having watched the film based on it, I’m rather impressed. I admittedly have a bias for public figures with blue-collar backgrounds. It’s still possible in America today to “come from nothing” and reach high positions of power and success.
In the 2028 presidential election, the current conservative options are Vance or Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Both would be positive choices. Who do the Democrats have to fill the role of chief executive? A band of Jacobin lunatics.
Establishment media sources will continue to put their thumb on the scale but, fortunately, they and their views are becoming increasingly irrelevant.
