'Alarming': Analyst singles out why J.D. Vance is 'more dangerous' than Trump

Reacting to reports out of Donald Trump's own inner circle admitting that he is " exhausted " by his third bid for the Oval Office, which has led to a flurry of appearance cancellations, a Boston Globe columnist suggested that is why the GOP is trying to lay in a stock of Trump-like candidates like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH ) which she called a worrisome turn of events.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr suggested that Vance in particular poses a greater threat than his running mate at the top of the ticket.

As she explained, "For the Republicans, clearly, he [Trump] has been the leader of that party now for almost a decade so they don't really have anywhere to go. You see them trying to back-up the bench with more Trumpian people like J.D. Vance, so perhaps there is a comfort level where if Donald Trump fails, well at least they have J.D. Vance waiting right there in the wings."

"And that is okay for them and I think it should be alarming for a lot of other people," she added. "Because in many ways I can tell you he is more dangerous than Donald Trump."

"Because he actually has an ideology," co-host Alicia Menendez interjected.

"Absolutely," Atkins Stohr agreed. "He has the mental acuity and the vigor to actually carry it out."
