J.D. Vance rose to fame as the author of the much maligned “Hillbilly Elegy.”
First it was a book in 2016, then “Hillbilly” became a Ron Howard movie for Netflix.
Now Vance, who successfully ran for the US Senate off the book and movie’s successes, to be his vice presidential running mate.
If Vance became president of the United States somehow, even the people who like him now will regret it.
When the movie came out, Vance was assailed as a fraud who turned his family and friends into stereotypes. The movie was panned on Rotten Tomatoes, and has a 25% rotten rating.
The book, despite Vance’s nonstop publicity, is low on the Amazon lists in both paperback and hardcover. The paperback is number 743,587. So far no one’s rushed to buy it now that Vance could be eligible to destroy the country. Let’s see what happens.
