Vance won on substance and did a good job of effectively stating that when Trump was president things were much better with regards to the economy, border and immigration. He hammered it home on his closing.
look, it was actually nice to see a civil debate, one where the candidates were able to talk policy without too many petty attacks.
Walz is not a VP, or should even be a governor. He is a liar, was called out for being a liar, and Vance, to his credit, allowed the moderators to call him a liar. Trump would have been repeating it and jamming it down Walz throat. Its much more damning to Walz’s credibility that it came from the moderators.
In no objective judging of this debate could someone say Walz won, or even held his own. He is not in Vance’s league, didn’t look like someone who could step into the Presidency if called up. I mean OMG, can you imagine this guy as President.
Walz did say he was friends with a school shooter. He also bumbled through answers in a way that would make Biden proud.
He was overmatched, and to his credit, he didn’t melt down and kept trying, but it was like the freshman squad scrimmaging the varsity team stacked with seniors coming off a state championship.
Vance A-. I thought he did a very good job of making his points and going back at Walz and the moderators.
Walz – B- Walz said what he was supposed to say. He didn’t answer many questions but he did continue to speak without being flustered.
I thought Vance did a very good job using an effective lawyer tactic. Essentially, kill with kindness. “I respect what you are saying and I think there are things we do agree upon BUT you are so F’ing wrong.”

“My final thoughts are not far off from John’s. On substance, both men had their moments, but Vance seemed better prepared to discuss specific policies. He also hammered the point home during the debate that Kamala Harris has been in office for three and a half years, and nailed it in the closing statement. She is the status quo, not the change.
On style, Vance blew Walz out of the water. He was poised, charming, gracious, and positive. Walz alternated between glaring at the camera and looking like a deer in the headlights. His non-answer on his Tiananmen lie is going to stick to him for a long time,”
Walz did what he was supposed to do. He repeated Harris’ talking points. He didn’t fall off the stage or cry. If you ever decide to watch a debate or a speech, I will read what you think.
“Okay. Thought there were real problems with the moderators again, no surprise there, and for attack dogs, they sure wasted time on subjects appealing to a small slice of the audience, but that was probably a strategic choice. For the Taylor Swift crowd, maybe childcare does count for more than a port strike where your child might not get formula or food in a couple of weeks.
Walz had blithering idiot-itis in several moments and went off the rails in his attempt to sidestep direct answers about “What would Harris do.” Then, the China disaster was all his. He is also not a comfortable figure to watch on stage – you get a sense there’s a frenetic energy just barely being held in check, and the leg kick or weird arm gestures are bustin’ to come out.
He’s big on stories and short on facts.
JD was masterful, even on subjects like abortion and, again, the childcare issue where it seemed as if Brennan wanted him to formulate a complete plan to watch the nation’s babies 5 days a week right then and there and would badger him until he said how and how much.
He acquitted himself admirably with grace, good humor, and a vicious intelligence.
I did like the nice little moments between them very much.
Vance knew the “Did Trump lose the election?” and his answer was not strong.
Why not just say, “There were legitimate questions raised, the courts did not agree, and the election was certified.” Question and answer not talked about after tonight.
The courts never really took up the merits of all the issues with the voting. When the Dems talk about the courts rejecting Trump’s claims, it was basically on grounds like standing, timing, etc.
They are asking Sen Cotton the same 2020 question, which is why I am mentioning it.
Nobody remembers how Vance answered it, other than to say that Biden became President, which is what Cotton repeated as well……and then pivoted to “which is why prices are as high as they are and there are so many issues in the world.”
I gave you my opinion throughout and you know it. Plus observations about Doltz writing too much, facial looks, and moving his head on the split screens.
CNN’s John King says “Republicans are happy tonight and Democrats a little bit nervous” as Tim Walz did nothing to narrow Kamala’s deficit on the top two issues of the race.
Nope, I said he continued to take notes. Loook back at the split screens. No other candidate has done that, other than maybe take a few notes. It’s like he was writing a short story.
Vance A- only because I think that to get an A you really have to land so many body blows that no one can question your win. Vance did a marvelous job tonight. I HATED the pick of Vance when it happened. I called him all sorts of names, etc, and I was wrong. He is a solid pick as VP. We didn’t get enough of his views on foreign policy because they literally only asked one question, which he answered very well.
Overall I think he’s very intelligent. Thinks about his answers and I also feel, from what I have seen, is he is not afraid to admit a mistake. I admire that in a person. I think he will be a fine VP
Walz – Solid C – He did not break down as I thought he would, he definitely shared and stayed with the party line, and didn’t resort to cheap shots. The debate was very civil and I liked that. He is an old granpa whose stories are about as believable as Oliver Putnam’s (only murders in the building reference…a show you should watch). He seems like an ok guy, but I am still wondering how on earth he got to congress, much less Gov of a state. The disaster of being caught by liberal moderators in a lie will be his defining moment
Will,quemala again call for another debate? Seems like she needs to explain why it was a good idea to give the mullahs $$$ and why is it a good idea to give $$$ to illegals, while,allowing your own citizens in nc to suffer.
Because I am tired of her act. 90% of her posts are stupid nicknames, responding to posts that she made up, and posting things said by other people. specifically somebody who grew up not knowing the correct spelling of their last name is Dougherty or Doherty. I have asked her for more of her own opinions and she declined.
It might be because I’ve been playing better golf lately, I just don’t understand why he gets so angry on here. Bitterlaw, your humor used to be a wonderful defense.
I’m so glad Tim Walz is only 60 years old because if he were five years older (senior age), they’d accuse JD Vance of elder abuse and get the Justice Department to indict him Thank God.
Jason. I respect why you didn’t want to vote for Trump after picking Vance. I had the same reservations, and literally despised the guy. I have to admit I was wrong. I think he did better tonight than Rubio or Scott would have (and I like them both a lot). I don’t know enough about Youngkins to know how he would have done.
But the guy is bright, well spoken, advocates well for positions, and what I learned most, is he’s not afraid to admit his position was wrong if brought enough evidence. I think he would make the change on his isolationism once he got to office and head to deal with the world on a daily basis.
I now feel good about voting for the ticket, and I would, humbly, recommend that you do as well, considering your vote matters more than mine in Texas. You make your choice, and I respect it as I respect everyone here, but I would ask that maybe you look into Vance a bit more. I think he’d make a fine President, and given my apprehensions, I never thought I would make that statement.
Vance surpassed my expectations tonight, in one very real aspect. I keep seeing interviews with women who are just unable to dislike him…….similar to how Youngkin engaged with issues down in VA. Pretty sure that his Yale experience helped him in that regard.
The threat of January 6 is so important to Democrats and the media that no one has yet asked Kamala Harris a single question about surviving an attempted “pipe bomb” assassination that day
Actually, Vic, my concern with Vance is not that he isn’t articulate. I have praised his performance on the campaign trail. He has a compelling life story and is obviously very accomplished. He has a great family. He seems like a personable guy that you would want to have a beer with.
It is actually surprising (and disappointing) to me that he believes in isolationism and protectionism given that he should know better. I mean, Rand Paul has an excuse, he is Ron Paul’s son. What is Vance’s excuse?
Jason. I don’t have an answer to that question. I had written a long answer to this, but it would all be speculation at this point.
I’ve seen enough though, that knowing the differences between both he and Walz, and Trump and Kamala, that it’s in the country’s best interest to vote, and to vote for Trump/Vance, even with reservations. I can honestly say, I don’t believe he’d be as much of an isolationist as we think. I believe, after seeing him more, he’d be more pragmatic than we are expecting.
Just remember 2016. Neither of us voted for Trump because we were afraid of what he’d be in office. he far, far, far exceeded my expectations, and in general (not on every point) but in general, I believe he was a very good President. I think Vance would be as well.
I don’t decide who stays and goes. You all appreciate her contributions more than I do.
I have been coming here since July of 2004. I can’t escape it. I am sure I overreact to things but my world changed in 2020 and I don’t handle nonsense as well as I used to.
Jason, you have to do you. I am just giving you my view of things as someone who has/had similar reservations. My whole career has been based overseas, and many years of that dealing with foreign governments. Still do. It’s not a secret I am very involved in Ukraine. I value how important our foreign policy is, and to have a robust one that is based on the concept we will protect our allies.
I think it’s important to cast a vote for Trump/Vance. You have to do what you think is best for you, but I think I have enough to cast my vote.
I was super busy tonight so couldn’t participate in the thread discussion. However, I did stream the debate and thought Vance handled himself well – courteous, informative, good eye contact, and non-confrontational. My grades mirror Vic’s – an A- for Vance (the minus because he did not correct some of Walz’s most flagrant lies), and a C for Walz because he got thru the 90 minutes without falling apart. I did think, though Walz’s body language and facial expressions, neck jerking around were annoying. Vance was completely different – composed, mild mannered, not frantically taking distracting notes….and those blue eyes were very attractive.

I’m so glad Tim Walz is only 60 years old because if he were five years older (senior age), they’d accuse JD Vance of elder abuse and get the Justice Department to indict him Thank God.

Jason. I respect why you didn’t want to vote for Trump after picking Vance. I had the same reservations, and literally despised the guy. I have to admit I was wrong. I think he did better tonight than Rubio or Scott would have (and I like them both a lot). I don’t know enough about Youngkins to know how he would have done.
But the guy is bright, well spoken, advocates well for positions, and what I learned most, is he’s not afraid to admit his position was wrong if brought enough evidence. I think he would make the change on his isolationism once he got to office and head to deal with the world on a daily basis.
I now feel good about voting for the ticket, and I would, humbly, recommend that you do as well, considering your vote matters more than mine in Texas. You make your choice, and I respect it as I respect everyone here, but I would ask that maybe you look into Vance a bit more. I think he’d make a fine President, and given my apprehensions, I never thought I would make that statement.

Bitter – Walz said his son saw a shooting. Given his propensity for lying I question it. Vance’s response to it was very classy.

Vance surpassed my expectations tonight, in one very real aspect. I keep seeing interviews with women who are just unable to dislike him…….similar to how Youngkin engaged with issues down in VA. Pretty sure that his Yale experience helped him in that regard.

The threat of January 6 is so important to Democrats and the media that no one has yet asked Kamala Harris a single question about surviving an attempted “pipe bomb” assassination that day

Actually, Vic, my concern with Vance is not that he isn’t articulate. I have praised his performance on the campaign trail. He has a compelling life story and is obviously very accomplished. He has a great family. He seems like a personable guy that you would want to have a beer with.
It is actually surprising (and disappointing) to me that he believes in isolationism and protectionism given that he should know better. I mean, Rand Paul has an excuse, he is Ron Paul’s son. What is Vance’s excuse?

Jason. I don’t have an answer to that question. I had written a long answer to this, but it would all be speculation at this point.
I’ve seen enough though, that knowing the differences between both he and Walz, and Trump and Kamala, that it’s in the country’s best interest to vote, and to vote for Trump/Vance, even with reservations. I can honestly say, I don’t believe he’d be as much of an isolationist as we think. I believe, after seeing him more, he’d be more pragmatic than we are expecting.

Just remember 2016. Neither of us voted for Trump because we were afraid of what he’d be in office. he far, far, far exceeded my expectations, and in general (not on every point) but in general, I believe he was a very good President. I think Vance would be as well.

Jason, you have to do you. I am just giving you my view of things as someone who has/had similar reservations. My whole career has been based overseas, and many years of that dealing with foreign governments. Still do. It’s not a secret I am very involved in Ukraine. I value how important our foreign policy is, and to have a robust one that is based on the concept we will protect our allies.
I think it’s important to cast a vote for Trump/Vance. You have to do what you think is best for you, but I think I have enough to cast my vote.

I was super busy tonight so couldn’t participate in the thread discussion. However, I did stream the debate and thought Vance handled himself well – courteous, informative, good eye contact, and non-confrontational. My grades mirror Vic’s – an A- for Vance (the minus because he did not correct some of Walz’s most flagrant lies), and a C for Walz because he got thru the 90 minutes without falling apart. I did think, though Walz’s body language and facial expressions, neck jerking around were annoying. Vance was completely different – composed, mild mannered, not frantically taking distracting notes….and those blue eyes were very attractive.
