Laura Ingraham: Any doubts about JD Vance should be ‘put to rest’Brit Hume says moderator were obnoxious, 3 on one again. I wonder if the viewers that listen to A.BC think they are biased yet.

DEALING WITH 2020.
Vance’s weakest moment perhaps came on the subject of the 2020 election—an awkward topic, to be sure, but not one that cannot be answered without issue.
Instead of running from January 6 and the post-election carnage, I would advise running towards it–the opposite of what Trump’s campaign managers have advised. My response would have gone something like this:
“Tim, I’m happy to look you in the eye and tell you that I think the hasty and, in many cases, unconstitutionalchanges to our elections during the pandemic were a mistake, and many, if not most, Americans agree with me. Those changes sowed too much doubt. And too many of them are still around today.
Americans expect free, fair, and secure elections, and for the life of me, I still can’t understand why that disturbs Democrats so much. That we should, as we have for the past quarter century, cast our ballots on the same day, in person, and expect those votes to be counted accurately and quickly. These are not new concepts, and you would be hard-pressed to find a majority of Americans who disagree. You guys keep saying ‘we’re not going back,’ so why won’t you let America move forward from that whole debacle that gave them Joe Biden? I mean, come on, you Democrats fudged your whole primary process to get rid of him!
”Etc, etc.
But that’s not to take anything away from Vance’s debate performance as a whole.He delivered a 9/10, A-grade performance, whereas those on Team Walz would struggle to make the case that he scored higher than a 6/10, or indeed a C+.
WHY ANY OF IT MATTERS.
Some people will try to tell you that this debate was irrelevant and that VP exchanges have always been irrelevant.This time, it is a little different.America has now lived through a government where the President is evidently non compus mentis, and his Vice President both conspired to hide it from the public and eventually launched a coup against him. At the very same time, those people keep telling you that the current concerns of Trump’s first Vice President, Mike Pence, are somehow relevant.
Joe Biden recently revealed that he deputized Kamala Harris for virtually every major policy area, and Harris herself has claimed she was the last voice in every room. So, let’s take them at their word: the VP pick is important. And if last night was the measure of those picks, Donald Trump looks far and away the better judge of character and running mate.
What America and the world got to see last night was a glimpse into a populist future. While most of the political class and, indeed, the RINO-Republican establishment will keep kicking and thrashing about it, Senator J.D. Vance secured his place as inheritor of the Republican Party base last night.
