Lincoln said of Grant “He fights.”
Trump has found his Grant. His name is JD Vance and he fights.
Grant and Vance are both from Ohio by the way.
Vance’s roots are Appalachia, cf. “Born Fighting” by James Webb.
The surprising swagger that Vance brings to the campaign reminds me a lot of what Reagan and his team had in the early ‘80s (i.e., the patriots are back and retaking control).
If you ever get a chance, read Grant’s memoirs. They are astonishingly good!
“I can’t spare this man. He fights ...”
Also what I thought of Trump. Some family members just couldn’t see past his rough edges.
