The Highest Compliment Democrats Can Pay JD Vance

About this episode

The episode discusses the political implications of the left's campaign against JD Vance, highlighting their fear of him as a political threat.

There is an old adage in politics, roughly translated from the language of hardball to plain English, that you don't spend ammunition on a target that isn't a threat. By that measure, the American left has just handed JD Vance the most sincere endorsement a political figure can receive: they are terrified of him, and they want you to hate him before you've had the chance to decide for yourself. The coordinated campaign to define the Vice President is now fully underway, and its architects aren't even bothering to disguise the strategy. Democrat operative Lis Smith — the same consultant who helped Pete Buttigieg transform himself from the mayor of South Bend into a national commodity — put the game plan on the table without apology: the left must begin defining Vance "not in 2027, not in 2028 — but today."
