YR. You get a pretty hefty discount. Just had a nice exchange with J.D. Vance. I forgot he had my cell phone.

I had his. He had mine. We had a nice exchange. I just reminded him his wife way more awesome than he is. So let's talk about J.D. Vance. I actually, I like J.D. Vance. We don't agree on everything. I think we probably agree more than we disagree, but I do disagree with him on some economics. But I want to start with this.

I think it was February of 2016.

I was on a train from New York to Washington. Yes, first class, A Sella Express, no less.

And I was banging away at my keyboard writing a piece that would become legendary.

Said, I will never vote for Donald Trump.

And Eric Gardner was the deputy editor of Red State of the time, and he texted me and said,

change it to never Trump.

Use the hashtag never Trump on Twitter.

It'll go viral.
