Worse than that, Vance’s wife is Hindu and not white, which is also hard for the MAGAs to get behind. Vance is turning out to be kind of a flop, in MAGA word. Speaking of Vance's wife (Washington Post article): Usha Vance told friends Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.The potential second lady found Trump’s actions on Jan. 6 “deeply disturbing,” a friend said. But ambition and devotion to her husband ultimately drove her to a place in the former president’s campaign. During her rise through America’s most prestigious schools, law firms and judicial clerkships, Usha Vance rarely — if ever — volunteered her opinions on the nation’s bitterly partisan politics to friends and colleagues. But she did express revulsion at former president Donald Trump’s actions on Jan. 6, 2021. Vance told friends she was outraged by Trump’s incitement of the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol and lamented the social breakdown that fueled his political support, according to one friend, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive conversations. Her view at the time contrasts with the later pronouncements of her husband and Trump’s newly minted running mate, JD Vance, who has downplayed the storming of the Capitol and called participants who were jailed “political prisoners.” “Usha found the incursion on the Capitol and Trump’s role in it to be deeply disturbing,” the friend recalled. “She was generally appalled by Trump, from the moment of his first election.” Rest of article here: Usha Vance told friends Trump appalled her. Now she’s working to elect him.They are a perfect match, then. Both so ambitious they sold their souls and did a 180 flip to become the biggest MAGA cheerleaders. Ten years from now, if Trump loses and the MAGA movement finally goes away, I bet Vance tries to weasel back into presidential politics after another 180 flip flop, this time showcasing his non white wive as the symbol of diversity in the party.
