My counterpoint to your claim about what JD Vance was saying would be he isn't talking about capitalism, he's talking about crony capitalism and the resulting consolidation that has squeezed competition and inflated prices. Not that I expect the Wall Street Journal opinion section to bite the hands that feed them, but I thought it might be worth clarifying.
While I think the world of JD Vance, it strikes me that he is closer to where Marco Rubio was prior to 2016. Marco has grown and matured beyond belief and it seems impossible that JD is a better option than Marco. JD’s time will come. He’s still a very young man.
Mr. Rubio please.

I am old but ChatGPT assures me the phrase I remember was indeed: bucket of warm piss. Is the wsj becoming a family oriented site?
You are correct about Garner. His quote was cleaned up years ago.
Great piece! I cannot believe that the Republican Party will nominate Vance, a smart man who keeps saying stupid things -- or worse!
