He absolutely is what the establishment wants. He’s a longtime establishment guy, part of Hollywood. A strong dislike of conservatives and midwesterners. Not a conservative bone in his body. He never “discovered” he was a conservative until he wanted to be a Senator. He’s the Dr. Oz of Ohio. He’s spent the last months burnishing his establishment credentials.
No he is not at all what the establishment wants. They want Tim Scott or Marco Rubio who are tied in with the war machine. Vance is not an establishment guy at all. He hardly dislikes Midwesterners considering he is one.
