So what exactly is in this interview that had Megyn Kelly gushing over J.D.

Vance?

And look, it certainly wasn't details.

It wasn't policy analysis.

It wasn't outcomes or consequences that come with a potential candidate's interview.

It was all window dressing.

It was about trying to make sure that J.D.

Vance can sound calm.

He can sound reasonable, like the adult in the room.

He can sound presidential.

And that's the test here.

That's the entire performance.

It exists in stark contrast with what's happening in the real world.

Look, if Megyn Kelly were a credible journalist, she would have pressed Vance on even the least popular MAGA positions.

Flirting with war, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, Greenland, threatening our allies in Europe, cozying up to Russia, American citizens being detained and disappeared and violating their First, Second, Fourth, Fifth Amendment rights, all shredded.

You've got Trump flirting with nationalizing elections, raiding the election offices in Georgia.

And you have a sitting president linked to extremely damning documents involving horrific crimes against children in any other world.

Just one of those issues shuts everything down.

Here, they turn it into a yuck fest.

Chuckling, smiling, softball framing.
