The vice presidential debate was a sad reflection of how low our standards have fallen

If you tuned in to Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, you are now deeply familiar with the life stories of Senator JD Vance and Governor Tim Walz. It was as if they could not help but lull us to sleep with long and boring prologues about their childhoods before answering any question. By the time they got around to saying anything even remotely relevant, we had already forgotten what was asked.

The problem with Vance is that he’s an unprincipled yes-man whose sole purpose is to further his political career.
