I've still not seen the video, and I see no reason to. But it's worth noting that when the media unite around how shitty something is, it might be shitty.

It's a mob shakedown by an incompetent, myopic, known to be liar and his minion. Repeating yourself, raising your voice, and latching onto half-ideas to push your brand -- "intimidating" and bluffing to force the deal only works if you had any respect in the first place.

Also, it feels like Vance's PR team told him he's being overshadowed by Trump in the media so he should make a big show to boost his ratings. Absolute clowns.
