OPINION - The Democrats can still beat Donald Trump and JD Vance — here's how

The Democrats can still beat Donald Trump. The question is whether they have the will to win. A terrible fatalism has descended on the party following the assassination attempt on Trump, but the choice of Ohio senator JD Vance as running mate ought to give them renewed hope of victory. The Trump-Vance ticket is pro-authoritarian, pro-insurrection, anti-women and pro-Putin. This toxic combination ought to excite a broad coalition against the Republicans in November. Will the Democrats have the courage to seize the moment?
