 Oh, and then you got Van Jones, the Marxist, who's Barack Obama's buddy. He decided he would chime in on J.D. Vance being the nominee for the vice president. He decides to call him a name, too. You know, part of the reason that J.D. Vance matters isn't for these kind of short-term electoral calculations. He matters because of what he means for the Republican Party long-term. This is cementing a kind of nationalism.
