A public recantation (just to ease my own conscience): Shortly after the Convicted Felon picked Vance to be his VP, I opined in this comment stream 1) that Vance is smart, way smarter than Trump; and 2) that Trump had better watch his back because Vance is hugely ambitious. I WAS WRONG. JV Dance (is that right? No? Whatever. He's got seven names anyway, I don't care), Dance is a functional cretin and his calculations are craven, not cold.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
