Like Megyn Kelly, I am a bad person who pities JDVance. I want Coach Walz to destroy him in debate, but I also wish Coach Walz could help JD quit being a bully.

No such thing as a bad person! And maybe the debate will help Vance not be a bully...?

The only word in your title that surprises me is "admitted." But I'm glad I didn't read his book since it sounds like a real head scratcher. I'm glad though that you did it for us...real insight into who this mess of a human really is.

Thanks for this focus on the persistent lying that is part of who J.D. Vance is.

Is the lying a trait of hillbillies or a trait of people who suffered trauma as children?

In the book he talks at some length about dishonesty in Appalachia, unconnected to childhood trauma.
