You're going to have to prove that to swing states in 2 years, 4 years. It took them awhile to figure out Reaganomics/Bushanomics 1 didn't work. And they have short memories. It took them 8 years if you believe Bush won 2000 and 2004 legitimately. I don't but it was close enough for him to steal both elections. Florida then Ohio. He sucked and got re elected.
JD Vance doesn't have what it takes. The likability factor. Certainly no one wants to drink a beer with the guy

Don't think this matters?
There's an old shorthand for likeability in politics: "Which candidate would you rather have a beer with?"
Polls show President Obama has been winning that likeability contest. And he's been raising a lot of frosty mugs on the campaign trail, hoping to press his advantage over the teetotaling Mitt Romney.
Vance is weird. Like Gore and Romney.
