 The Democrats are, of course, already noting this as though this is some sort of great revelation. It turns out that many of us actually were not huge fans of Trump in 2016. J.D. Vance, like me, did not vote for Donald Trump in 2016 and now, of course, is a major supporter of Donald Trump, as I am. Here's what J.D. Vance actually wrote about Donald Trump in a text in 2016. He said, I'm not surprised by Trump's rise. I think the entire party has only itself to blame. We are, whether we like it or not, the party of lower income, lower education white people. And I've been saying for a long time, we need to offer those people something.
