Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is making history as the least liked vice presidential nominee since 1980 following his party’s nominating convention, CNN reports.

He’s also the first to have a net negative favorable rating.

    JD Vance proves that no matter where you start, no matter how humble your beginnings, no matter how tough your journey, anyone can rise to be an insufferable asshole.

      Guys like him are survivorship bias as a person. They think they owe their success to nobody and nothing but their own determination, while ignoring all of the lucky coincidences that made that possible. And ignoring all of those who worked just as hard, but did not make it. Instead they blame lack of success on personal failures and laziness.

      So they want to abolish everything that could help those below them. They look at them with contempt. They will happily tell their own success story and their humble origins, but won’t even touch a minimum wage worker with a pole.

        For instance.

        If he grew up so poor, how did he afford the $90,975 per year for Yale?

        Here is someone who made the most of the handouts along the way pulling the ladder up behind them.

      Both Trump and Vance have pretty inspiring stories, Trump especially has shown us that, even if you have extreme mental disabilities, you too can rise to the level of US President. Being the first MRDD President was a real milestone.
