I'm open to being surprised by J.D. Vance, Trump's somewhat predictable V.P. pick

But people ask about it often. It’s understandable. Someone you know just has just met up with mortality and you don’t know how to respond. Maybe you’re afraid to reach out. Maybe you’re worried you’ll say the wrong thing.
