      I mean it’s rumored he’s a couch banger, and never challenge someone from the GOP to be more extreme than one of their counterparts. They will usually deliver.

      Other awesome things about Vance -

      • Vance has suggested people should stay in violent marriages for the sake of their kids.

      • “I feel like I’ve got a really good sense of senators, and he’s by far the smartest and the deepest of any I’ve ever met,” said Tucker Carlson, who backed Vance’s 2022 Senate bid and remains a close political ally.

      • Source- So how to make sense of Trump’s new partner? Unlike Pence, who brought a respectable record on education reform from the Hoosier State, Vance has little to show for his limited time in the Senate—or otherwise, save for his first book. For whatever his faults, Pence steered a relatively steady course. He didn’t zig and zag or shift and contradict himself. The former vice president displayed a kind of integrity that Vance lacks, and that’s evident in how each has approached ed reform. It’s possible that Vance will be a supporter of CTE and apprenticeships, given his working-class roots. What seems certain is that he will ignore his own earlier advice and instead will cynically use K–12 schools to sow animosity and discord when it’s expedient to do so. If Vance eventually becomes president or the Republican nominee for president at some point, we can only hope that circumstances will be different and an interest in sound education policymaking restored.

        Agreed.
        Pence isn’t a waffler, and his views, whilst heavy-aligned with near-fundamentalist talking points, are shared by millions.
        Which is a credit to his integrity, not just due to Jan 6.

          Yea, Pence is a human cigarette. Just as bad for you as the warning label says, and yet millions still smoke it.

    Pence wasn’t allowed to be in a room with a woman unless his wife tagged along, out of fear that there would be spontaneous sexing. Is Vance allowed to be alone in a room with a couch? Can he go to IKEA without a chaperone?

    Pence had to deal with Mother and her opinions. Vance is more free because Couch doesn’t talk. Couch only says “yes.”

    Yeah, and that’s a key part of what makes him so weird.
