'Alarming': Analyst singles out why J.D. Vance is 'more dangerous' than Trump
Reacting to reports out of Donald Trump's own inner circle admitting that he is "exhausted" by his third bid for the Oval Office, which has led to a flurry of appearance cancellations, a Boston Globe columnist suggested that is why the GOP is trying to lay in a stock of Trump-like candidates like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) which she called a worrisome turn of events.
Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr suggested that Vance in particular poses a greater threat than his running mate at the top of the ticket.
As she explained, "For the Republicans, clearly, he [Trump] has been the leader of that party now for almost a decade so they don't really have anywhere to go. You see them trying to back-up the bench with more Trumpian people like J.D. Vance, so perhaps there is a comfort level where if Donald Trump fails, well at least they have J.D. Vance waiting right there in the wings."

"And that is okay for them and I think it should be alarming for a lot of other people," she added. "Because in many ways I can tell you he is more dangerous than Donald Trump."
"Because he actually has an ideology," co-host Alicia Menendez interjected.
"Absolutely," Atkins Stohr agreed. "He has the mental acuity and the vigor to actually carry it out."
