    I started reading up on him and apparently he said this:

    I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful), or that he’s America’s Hitler.

    That fact that he thinks Trump could be Hitler and is still prepared to get behind him for his own gain tells me all I need to know about the principles of the man.

      My guess is that he’s hoping that Trump will kick the bucket while in office and get a free pass without needing to campaign.

      Remember your vote matters!

      I wouldn’t be surprised to know he said it like “America’s Hitler” wasn’t the bad thing it would be.

      You’re confused because you’re reading “Trump could be Hitler” like its a bad thing and not JD Vance’s wet dream.

      Going from that to running mate means he’s clearly a bootlicker and Trump’s all about that. If Trump could fill both Pres and VP positions at once he would.

      I guess for him comparing someone to Hitler is a compliment rather than a warning.
