Honestly an answer of “Because I like beer.” is not a bad answer. It is the stammering and stumbling to get to that answer and then leaving it at that is a faceplant.
Less than 30 seconds preparing with an internet search would give me a list of breweries on the city he was in that could be referenced as a slam fucking dunk for a campaign. It is probably the most boilerplate GOP campaign question since Dubya.
But this is JD Vance and the Trump campaign we’re talking about. Hah.
I don’t hate it as an answer except in this case where it can be read as “because I’m not like Walz” (who’s teetotal, I think), and “we’re not the other guy” is just so boring.
Or it might be genuinely down to his like of beer, in which case it’s just a bit of a mediocre answer.
