Troll, you said, “You know, I actually thought vance might be a semi OK dude who got on the Trump path for power... but the more I read about this guy the more he comes off as that chubby loser type from HS who needed to keep putting others down along the way to feel superior. Just another grade A ahole who can't take responsibility.”
Civically, at least, you simply can’t get on Trump path and be a “semi-OK dude.” The willingness to do that literally (yes!) tells a person (and voter) everything that they need to know about you.
That’s not to say that it can’t be psychologically interesting whether not he’s appeared to be a 24/7 douch* his entire life.
Although, I think that for most sh**ty politicians, it’s probably most likely that they HAVE been able to look reasonable/human here and there. Graham is great example of that. But it’s a really low bar, and means virtually nothing.
And appropriately enough, does Trump get over that bar less than any politician in American history??
