Down is up and up is down over in GOP-alternate reality land. This is apparently the amount of fealty you have to show to Dear Leader in order to be considered for a VP spot.
Here's Ohio Sen. JD Vance sucking up to Trump on this Sunday's Meet the Press, and somehow managing to avoid being struck by lightning during this exchange with host Kristen Welker:
KRISTEN WELKER: Let me ask you something that caught our eye. This is something you wrote in the New York Times op-ed in 2017 about former president Barack Obama. You criticized his policies, but you also said, quote, "It is one of the great failures of recent political history that the Republican Party was too often unable to disconnect legitimate political disagreements from the fact that the president himself is an admirable man. For at a pivotal time in my life Barack Obama gave me hope that a boy who grew up like me could still achieve the most important of my dreams. For that," you write, "I will miss him and the example he set." You wrote that just days before Donald Trump was inaugurated. Do you still consider Barack Obama to be an admirable man who you miss?
