James David Vance has fast proved a liability to the Trump campaign, says Julian Zelizer .

Zelizer : But one story about the junior senator continues to be accepted at face value: Vance as champion of a new “right-populism” that puts the working class first .

He says his career has been financed by a nefarious combination of rightwing tech bros and the fossil fuel industry.

Vance is all at once a nationalistic natalist (“breed, baby, breed!” for the nation), a promoter of fossil fuel industries.

Given how unpopular he’s proven in polls, it does not seem like this is a vision for which Americans care.
