A man who rose from nothing purely on his wits. He is also smart enough to conceal just how smart he is under Midwestern Nice. A very smart Hillbilly is a force to be reckoned with.

Another reason VP Vance is underestimated is that he is boyish looking. He probably would look even younger without his beard.
Let’s all raise our voices in a rousing chorus of that Trace Askins, Blake Shelton song “Hillbilly Bone”!
Sure the overwhelming pride of the European elite’s arrogance is their Achilles heel too.

I raise my glass to Vances everywhere.
I have the impression that he might be too cerebral. It seems like he’s working his way from an intellectual libertarianism to an intellectual Christian Democracy. Both perspectives have value but I wouldn’t look to him to have a coherent worldview, nor would I necessarily trust he’ll come down on a wise final framework.
Yep smart guy. And brave. Great VP choice.
I had a boss like this In The 1st law firm that I was hired into in Houston. He was the son of a sharecropper in Texas, Graduated 4th or 5th In his class at the university of Texas law school. When dealing with the other side he often intentionally came across as the dumb old boy from Schulenburg. By the time he got done with the other side he not only had everything he wanted In the negotiations, but more besides. I learned many lessons from him but the 1st was not to trust the “good old boy” technique.
One of the delightful things about Vance is, as brilliantly smart as he is, he wears it so lightly. (“Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly.”)
So many of our modern elites wear their brilliant intellects so “weightily.” They find dealing with us stupid peasants so boringly tiresome. We’re just too dumb to navigate in their celestial orbit.
Yes, for all your glowing academic accolades, I’m thinking especially of you, Susan Rice.
Indeed, “Lead:” beware the Lt. Columbo.
