One thing is clear – after Tuesday, JD Vance is the Republican Taylor Swift, except he’s not mediocre, insufferable, or incapable of maintaining a long-term relationship.
But does that matter for November? They say that vice presidential debates don’t mean anything and that’s usually true.
Still, this one conclusively demonstrated that JD Vance is an outstanding speaker – calm, cool, capable, and in charge of the facts.
Let’s be objective about his opponent. Tim Walz was not terrible. In some ways, he was effective. Vance did not totally destroy him, though he could have if he chose to.
Walz was competent but overshadowed by a giant 20 years his junior.
Walz spewed Democrat talking points and did it while wearing his centrist suit.
Except it is an ill-fitting suit.
He’s no centrist.
He’s a straight-up commie weirdo all on-board with the left’s bizarre, perverted agenda. He’s all in with the Democrat Party on everything from abortions up to puberty and trans idiocy to redistributing the wealth and confiscating the guns. But on Tuesday, he managed to present himself as innocuous, like an annoying neighbor you look out your door for before leaving to make sure he’s not in the yard so you don’t have to talk to him.
It’s now beyond any serious dispute that JD Vance was a terrific choice for vice president.
He’s very smart and he’s adaptable. He knows how to connect with an audience. Sure, there were a hundred things I would’ve liked him to say to counter the arguments made by Walz and his two other opponents, the generic CBS crones who were moderating. They tried to get uppity, but their awkward fact checking failed. They behaved themselves after JD Vance cracked the whip and imposed his iron discipline upon them. Except for some passive aggressive catty comments, they pretty much behaved after that. It was a nice display of power.

Vance will parlay his 4 years as VP into a dynamic 8 years as President.
