J. D. Vance is better than his ticketmate at one important job: He can squeeze Trumpism through his own post-liberal-populist tube.

Trump ’s supporters see him as their very own Pete Buttigieg : A man with a theory of the case who is eager to defend it both on TV and in real life.

David Gergen : If Vance performs well in tonight ’s debate, it will be because he has what Trump voters see as talents.

He says his biggest strength may be his eagerness and ability to engage with the media.

Gergen says Vance has been a political shape-shifter, changing his views on politics, Trump , and even his own 2016 book.
