The vice-presidential candidateās foes see him as unlikableābut MAGA world sees him as a brainy counterweight to Trump.

The MAGAts love him. Doesnāt really matter. Theyāll vote for him anyway. The article doesnāt get into how the rest of us feel about him.
They're more like a very vocal minority, at best. Maybe a third. Sizable, yes, but without the corrupt electoral college, they'd never win another national election.
I read as much as I can, given the paywall. The thing is... Opponents of the GOP know very well that Vance is the best the GOP can do for brains. That's one of the reasons we mock him.
"JD Vance appeals to all the people who are already enthusiastic about voting for Trump," yeah we know that's why it's fucking stupid because Trumpy shit is a huge turn-off to normal people!
See, Trump & Vance tell them we are pedophiles, criminals, traitors, and evil. I think it's their job to explain to MAGA why actual, moral human beings are Democrats. MAGA doesn't understand why Harris has a shot to win...shouldn't they explain THAT?
āAn innocent observer might have expected that the rise of television . . . would produce a pressure to report authentic spontaneous events exactly as they occur.

Wow! The dumbest people on god's green earth think he's "brainy!"
Are there think pieces devoted to the people who stand in line all day to attend a Kamala rally? Did they do a 60 Minutes deep dive on the Kamala golf cart parade at The Villages? Are they going to Giddings, TX where one farm courageously hung up signs supporting Kamala, amongst a sea of MAGA?
