Some Harvard guy from Cincinnati pretending to be a hillbilly.

I thought he went to Yale, but the point is a good one.

And I don’t want to see an Ivy League LAWYER anywhere near the White House.

“Some Harvard guy from Cincinnati pretending to be a hillbilly.”

Right. I seem to recall some scuttlebutt about Vance’s book where he went all “aw shucks” hillbilly and misrepresented himself as one of the little people. Much like Lunchbox PedoJoe “from Scranton”.

You obviously haven’t read his book. Most of his family left poverty in Appalachia to find work in Mansfield, Ohio, after WWII. They were employed until the industrial base there shut down. Vance lived with various stepfathers and his mother’s transient boyfriends until they all left and she succumbed to drug addiction. He then was bounced back and forth from her to his hillbilly grandparents who became the major influence in his life and saved him from addiction and crime.

He had a really difficult upbringing. His family was poor. He worked his way through college after serving in the military—sometimes working three jobs while going to school full time. He often visits his family in Kentucky and his beloved grandmother and grandfather are buried there. Read his book before you mouth off about something you obviously know nothing about.

I fully support him for V.P. Bergrum, or whatever his name is, has been campaigning for V.P. since he first showed up in those debates. It’s transparently obvious. Who is he, anyway? A no-name governor from nowhere whose ambition exceeds his ability. He has money, long greasy hair like Newsome, a toothy grin, slime, but that’s about all. Rubio is hardly much better.
