They put a great deal of effort and money into making up slanderous stories of Trump. I guess they decided the media would do it for them for next to nothing for Vance. Poor Vance.

They’re getting ready for an October Surprise. This is just the warm up. Lots of horrible stories about him will emerge before then though.
