I can't stand him, but Vance was sharp. He was as dishonest and disingenuous as the day is long in many/most of his answers, but he was sharp. I'd like to think that beneath the MAGA mask, which requires unconditional sycophancy to Trump, there is a principled, reasonable conservative with whom I may disagree vehemently on many or most policy ideas, but still believe him to be a good person. I'm certain I have no reason to think it's true based on what we've seen and heard from him ever since he began his Senate run, but I'd like to believe it's possible.
