So, is it fair to characterize Vance by directly quoting what he said in fundraising emails in 2021? Or is that out of context and manipulation by the media, which seems to be the answer to every uncomfortable or unpopular message coming out of the Trump campaign.
Vance is far more likely to alienate suburban women and moderates than pull them into the Trump camp, which is a huge strategic failure by Trump.
“Did you see me on FOX Primetime recently? I needed to speak DIRECTLY to patriots like you about the serious issue of radical childless leaders in this country,” reads one Vance fundraising email from August 2021. “We can’t have people who don’t have a direct stake in this country making our most important decisions.
“We’ve allowed ourselves to be dominated by childless sociopaths - they’re invested in NOTHING because they’re not invested in this country’s children. Fighting back won’t be easy - our childless opponents have a lot of free time. That’s why I need YOU to stand with me.”
Another fundraising email reads, “Our country is basically run by childless Democrats who are miserable in their own lives and want to make the rest of the country miserable too… What I want to know is:
why have we turned our country over to people who don’t have a direct stake in it?”
