But Vance has two "tribal IDs" that will (IMO) have bigger street weight in a fight: he's a Marine and he's Catholic. And Catholics are big players in the national stage these days. A Marine will know leadership as well as small arms and fire team tactics. He's a big card to play.

Evangelicals donтАЩt believe Catholics are Christians.
The Church is less popular than itтАЩs ever been.
His wife is not white. She has an actual job and wears shoes and isnтАЩt pregnant and they probably order in more than she cooks. He just stopped wearing his wedding band because Trump doesnтАЩt like them.
My generation (very, very, very oldтАФGod said тАЬLet there be lightтАЭ and we hit the switch old) respects military service because our fathers and grandfathers were in WWII or Korea. Since the end of the draft I donтАЩt know if the military has much relevance to young people outside of those whose families include military. It just feels like from younger Boomers (IтАЩm 66) down that sacrifice for the greater good is meaningless. ItтАЩs the only thing I respect about Vance.
Does the Evangelical wing like Catholics? I simply don't know about this aspect. He was a journalist. Except for basic training did he get out of the Green Zone?
They do not. They donтАЩt think theyтАЩre Christians.
He was a combat correspondent and deployed for six months. That sounds like an FOB job, but if heтАЩs a combat vet that merits respect even from my Vance-hating self.
He certainly talks the Marine line: "VanceтАЩs single chapter on his time in the Marines is peppered with similiar stories of moral and personal growth....
тАЬWhen I joined the Marine Corps, I did so in part because I wasnтАЩt ready for adulthood,тАЭ Vance writes. тАЬI didnтАЩt know how to balance a checkbook, much less how to complete the financial aid forms for college. Now I knew exactly what I wanted out of my life and how to get there.тАЭ (source https://taskandpurpose.com/news/jd-vance-marine-veteran/) As for Catholics and Ev.

HeтАЩs just revolting.
