I don’t fault him for choosing the best law school to which he was admitted. That’s what most people do. Plenty of other reasons to dislike him.

Vance should explain why Ohio State wasn’t good enough for him.

He may have been mistreated as a child, but his mother made $100,000/year as a nurse at one point and his high school is a typical LMC/MC suburban high school.

Including how he rails against “the elites” as a venture capitalist who went to YLS. Absurd.

In his book, he states it’s because someone told him he wouldn’t get a job unless he went to a top law school. He was right, but that makes him an “elitist” despite his populist persona.

But isn’t OSU one of the top ranked law schools in the country?

Yes it’s 30th. But Yale is 1st. Did he ever go on to practice law?

I’m from Ohio. I’m hopeful for Ryan. I’ll have a pretty clear idea by August.

No. No limitations. The whole GOP is in on the crazy train so it doesn’t matter if the figurehead is one treasonous, despotic crazy man. That’s the GOP.

What's wrong with the text?

Click through.

Not PP, and the text says that Trump is either a "cynical a-hole" like Nixon or "America's Hitler". Neither one really makes it seem like 2016 Vance would embrace Trump, but in all fairness it does still leave some room that Vance doesn't consider Trump to be the same as Hitler.

Regardless, Vance seems like a hypocrite without scruples.

Lots of LMC kids end up in Yale Law? Heck no.
Lots of veterans becoming RW keyboard warriors? Perhaps. See Michael Flynn, Joe Kent and others.
