It is a memorable event. Very memorable regardless of when it took place.

Either you were there or you weren't. Weird.

It’s like saying you were at the World Trade Center on 9/11….but you were actually in Minnesota.

He’s a compulsive liar.

If Walz is a compulsive liar not fit for office, what does that make Trump?

OK but we are NOT TALKING about Trump. It's not a if one person does this - but let's not talk about it because we have something worse to talk about. If a person does X - they have done X. It does not make X go away. I don't understand Dems who keep deferring to how evil Trump/Vance is (I totally think they are evil yes) so that somehow absolves any wrong doing of every single kind from Walz/Harris. I mean the way some folks would have it - NOTHING EVER that the Dems do is worthy of a conversation about it not being successful, correct, perfect. I get that GOP sucks and I get that Trump is a disaster but the biggest issue of why Dems had Hilary who couldn't beat him the first time is they focus totally on the other candidate. Calling the other person the worst person on earth does not make your person the best person on earth. It may be totally true that your person is better, but you have to stick with the facts for why your person is better!

Walz is better because he has a soul, heart and brains.

JD hates women, children and democracy, plus he’s dumb as a stump.

Anyone with an average iq who watched the debate knows Vance is a highly intelligent, well educated man. To deny that is ridiculous. You don’t like his opinions , so you say he’s dumb. I guarantee he’s got a higher iq than you, me, or Walz, and is more educated as well.

Excuse me, there are plenty of us with high IQs on here; fancy degrees from selective institutions around the world; and/or PhDs, MDs, other accolades, and the wide and deep knowledge base to match.

I agree with you that Vance is highly intelligent, well read and quick-witted. Unfortunately he has not used that intelligence for the good of the country. He has debased himself to a serial liar and grifter he himself despises, in his pursuit of influence and wealth. Like his tech bro mentors, he's relishes taking risk: he saw a shortcut to the Presidency, and he took it, regardless of what sins he might have to commit to get there. He's the epitome of greed and opportunism.

A disgusting personage, truly.

The comment I was responding to was a disgruntled democrat lying about Vance and declaring Vance was dumb. They stated that Vance was “dumb as a stump.”

Vance is not dumb at all. He exhibited great intelligence at the debate and is a skilled communicator. He also displayed emotional maturity and showed he has an even temper, even during a debate with a political opponent.

To deny Vance’s intelligence is ridiculous. Yet many here do.

What you are doing is pretending politicians (except Vance) are a class of warm hearted empaths that care nothing about their political power and personal wealth.

You will have to find some naive adults or children to sell that wholly imagined fairy tale to. If someone is posting here they probably know government workers, politicians, and elected officials. You are wasting everyone’s time by trying to jam rose colored glasses over our eyes. It’s laughable.

Please try to convince me the earth is flat, we never landed on the moon, the Easter bunny shot JFK, etc. All those concepts are more believable than “politician good except for Trump and Vance.” My father was a moderately successful elected official and lifelong political animal. I have seen how the sausage is made. Let me tell you: Boar’s Head factories have nothing on politicians.

He’s a compulsive liar.

He does have a problem telling the truth.

And that’s a problem for any prospective VPOTUS.

I don't think Republicans sound credible when they pretend to be upset about Walz telling a few lies over a decade of time. What about all of Vance's recent and ongoing lies??? Vance lied multiple times during the VP debate alone over a period of 2 hours onstage, we don't need to comb through years and years of clips.

Vance lied about Trump peacefully transitioning power (there is video evidence of Trump inciting a mob, and unsealed evidence released yesterday adds more proof).
Vance lied about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH being "illegals" (he was fact-checked on stage, they are there legally)
Vance lied about never endorsing a national abortion ban (he's on audio saying he would like to have a national abortion ban)
Vance lied about Trump supporting and being responsible for the successful passing of Obamacare/ACA (lots of evidence of Trump going on record saying he campaigned vehemently against it and wanted it defeated)

Vance is the one who lies over and over again to rewrite history. If you care about lying, you'd hate Vance more. Vance's record is one of the worst among politicians. It wouldn't take much effort to outline the several hundred lies Vance has told - including countless in his "Hillbilly Elegy" book that people from his community said was full of lies and embellishments.

So do you really care about lying or compulsive lying? Because there are [b]far more instances of Trump & Vance lying [/b]than Walz.

Hard agree. Vance was a lying machine on that debate stage. It was almost sociopathic how Vance could so effortlessly lie with a straight face and be so unbothered. It takes real audacity and arrogance to publicly lie about facts that could easily be looked up and proven false. His words are not his bond. He'll say anything to create a false image and seize power.

Vance scares (and repels) me too! We should all be afraid of someone who has zero scruples, integrity and will do and say anything for power.

Agree that he has wasted the advantages that he was given. Not sure though that he’s really intelligent. He did not strike me as particularly thoughtful or well-educated to be honest. Quick with his talking points to be sure but I did not see evidence of depth or an ability to think critically. He is facile and simplistic. And as you say a blatant opportunist.

Agree. He’s quick in a street-smart way, with an eye to the main chance. He speaks smoothly but is no intellectual.

Who do you consider an intellectual?

Who do you consider well educated?

You are scared to live in America and have a man with different political beliefs and opinions than yours being elected president? That sounds like a you problem. It’s democracy for the rest of us.

Yet when later asked by a reporter if he would have certified the election, he replied with a solid No, then without missing a beat confirmed that trump won the 2020 election. And this man of faith, turned to the reporter and with a condescending sneer scoffed, “I feel sorry for you”.

That is a fake man, made up of lies and pretensions, and is a snake deep inside. He might have lost some weight, styled his hair better, practiced his breaking the third wall smug - but his is still a ruthless hayseed that mamaw would not be proud of.

A few days ago this thread was all about Walz would destroy Vance in the debate.
Now people are acknowledging this and changing the subject.
Why couldn't you have just acknowledged Biden is out of it and had a primary?
Or maybe just change the subject and say Biden is out of it but he is not Trump and that's all we need?
Why let the DEI hire be the candidate(Something still not being acknowledged)?

[Anonymous]

As a Jewish man and lifelong Democrat, I can’t bring myself to vote for a party that has become so bigoted and antisemitic. Tim Walz was awful in that debate. Josh Shapiro would have done infinitely better, and he happens to be from the state that will likely decide the election. I can’t fathom why he wasn’t selected as VP, other than blatant prejudice within the party. I will either stay home or I will hold my nose and vote for Trump, but no way will I vote for her.

I don't understand Dems who keep deferring to how evil Trump/Vance is (I totally think they are evil yes) so that somehow absolves any wrong doing of every single kind from Walz/Harris. I mean the way some folks would have it - NOTHING EVER that the Dems do is worthy of a conversation about it not being successful, correct, perfect. I get that GOP sucks and I get that Trump is a disaster but the biggest issue of why Dems had Hilary who couldn't beat him the first time is they focus totally on the other candidate. Calling the other person the worst person on earth does not make your person the best person on earth. It may be totally true that your person is better, but you have to stick with the facts for why your person is better!

Walz is better because he has a soul, heart and brains.

JD hates women, children and democracy, plus he’s dumb as a stump.

Anyone with an average iq who watched the debate knows Vance is a highly intelligent, well educated man. To deny that is ridiculous. You don’t like his opinions , so you say he’s dumb. I guarantee he’s got a higher iq than you, me, or Walz, and is more educated as well.

Excuse me, there are plenty of us with high IQs on here; fancy degrees from selective institutions around the world; and/or PhDs, MDs, other accolades, and the wide and deep knowledge base to match.

I agree with you that Vance is highly intelligent, well read and quick-witted. Unfortunately he has not used that intelligence for the good of the country. He has debased himself to a serial liar and grifter he himself despises, in his pursuit of influence and wealth. Like his tech bro mentors, he's relishes taking risk: he saw a shortcut to the Presidency, and he took it, regardless of what sins he might have to commit to get there. He's the epitome of greed and opportunism.

A disgusting personage, truly.

The comment I was responding to was a disgruntled democrat lying about Vance and declaring Vance was dumb. They stated that Vance was “dumb as a stump.”

Vance is not dumb at all. He exhibited great intelligence at the debate and is a skilled communicator. He also displayed emotional maturity and showed he has an even temper, even during a debate with a political opponent.

To deny Vance’s intelligence is ridiculous. Yet many here do.

What you are doing is pretending politicians (except Vance) are a class of warm hearted empaths that care nothing about their political power and personal wealth.

You will have to find some naive adults or children to sell that wholly imagined fairy tale to. If someone is posting here they probably know government workers, politicians, and elected officials. You are wasting everyone’s time by trying to jam rose colored glasses over our eyes. It’s laughable.

Please try to convince me the earth is flat, we never landed on the moon, the Easter bunny shot JFK, etc. All those concepts are more believable than “politician good except for Trump and Vance.” My father was a moderately successful elected official and lifelong political animal. I have seen how the sausage is made. Let me tell you: Boar’s Head factories have nothing on politicians.

Not interested in Vance’s intelligence. What he does as a potential president scares the hell out of me.

You are scared to live in America and have a man with different political beliefs and opinions than yours being elected president? That sounds like a you problem. It’s democracy for the rest of us.

DP...it isn't about "different political beliefs" it is that Vance and Trump and apparently most of the GOP are for curtailing rights, suspending the constitution, running an administration based on grievance and retribution and grift.

And if Vance were truly so smart, he would have stayed away from Trump since everything Trump touches, dies.

Josh Shapiro would have done infinitely better, and he happens to be from the state that will likely decide the election. I can’t fathom why he wasn’t selected as VP, other than blatant prejudice within the party. I will either stay home or I will hold my nose and vote for Trump, but no way will I vote for her.

It was articulated at the time, he came in suggesting to be a co-president and that isn't how things work. He also has baggage with some staff issues as Governor. Nothing to do with anti-semitism.
