Remember when all the anti-Trump doomers pushed the narrative that Vance was a disastrous VP pick because the media called him weird and then he crush the 3v1 VP debate like Jean-Claude Van Damme in a fictional martial arts tournament?

JD Vance ran circles around Tim Walz.
I live tweeted my reaction on X where Vance clearly resonated with the subculture.
My takeaway from the debate is that Millennials are used to watching Boomers in these television debates. In spite of having of being married to Usha and having a mixed-race kid named Vivek, JD Vance is still closer to the Millennial Right than any previous candidate in the way he dresses, his ideology, his mannerisms, his internet habits, etc. Vance is a sea change from Mike Pence.
Mike Pence was a governor from a Midwestern state. There was always an inseparable cultural gulf there though between Pence and our internet subculture. He was a throwback to a bygone age. Just like lots of Boomers saw themselves in Pence and his brand of highly principled, moralizing True Conservativism, the same thing is true of Vance smirking at the camera and younger conservatives.
As I have pointed out many times, the 2024 election is the end of an era. If Trump wins the 2024 election, he will be our last Boomer president. Generational change is going to rapidly accelerate over the next decade. This is what was so weird about seeing Vance debating Walz on that stage. It was like watching the tip of the iceberg emerging from the surface and a preview of the next 20 years.
We had nothing but WWII generation presidents from FDR to Bush Sr. And now the boomer generation is about to leave the stage of History. GOOD RIDDANCE.
“Generational change is going to rapidly accelerate over the next decade.”
More like racial change is going to rapidly accelerate.

I got tired of seeing Kamala Harris
I figured when Trump made the Vance pick that it was about three things:
(1) Age balance
(2) Apprenticeship
(3) Showing that Trump can get over grudges and let bygones be bygones, one of his actual problems. Remember, not that long ago, Vance hated Trump as much as anyone.
I watched the replay, and now I can also add a fourth reason for the pick: Policy wonkery and detail.
We could do a hell of a lot worse than JD Vance to carry the torch after Trump rides off into the sunset (Florida). We’ll see how they do.
I’ve been hearing people say after that debate that it should be Vance at the top of the ticket, not Trump. Regardless of how this election turns out, he made himself the frontrunner for 2028.
Walz is a piece of work. This CIA agent Vance, I have studied him closely. He is far, far worse than Pence.
. If Trump wins the 2024 election, he will be our last Boomer president.
There are boomers just entering their 60s, now.
Not at all old, for USZOG politicians.
Poor Tim. He really came off as the not-so-bright, Nebraska yokel that he is.
