I am not as jaded as some here about politicians, there are more than a few I believe who are trying their best to improve the lot of their country and it's people.

That said , there are few that have inspired me. Today I'm "far right" in the jargon of the left, but until Rudd I generally voted labor and until Abbott no liberal inspired me, Tony the first and only lib I thought to be a genuine bloke.

The only thing I knew about US politics is that they shot Reagan and JFK, and I had a vague feeling of revulsion about LBJ, the Bushs and Obama. Only when Trump came down the famous escalator and I watched him a few times did I have a positive vibe about a politician, which is odd. Why would a country Aussie take to a brash NY billionaire with strange idioms while speaking? I am more likely to identify with southern rednecks.

I now feel the same about Vance. I knew virtually nothing of him 'til a couple of days ago but I have watched his biographical movie and listened to people talking about him. One thing that is absolutely undeniable is his intellect, he graduated magna cum laude after doing a four year undergrad course in two and got his foot in the door of the legal profession and Yale in spite of not having a clue which fork to use at the dinner table.

Call me a cock-eyed optimist but these two men may be the salvation of America and the West.

Vance's dysfuntional family history should be enough to secure the votes in the left wing blue states, imo
