Another DP. Does it really matter? What I found a little more disturbing was there's a news article out there in which Walz's wife said they chose their wedding day to be the 5th anniversary of it, as he would always remember it. (Fwiw I looked into it and it's true) |

He lied about it numerous times. Most recently he said in a CBS interview he was there. But he was Not! He came to China a few months later. This poses a problem with his issues with whole military service snafu as well. |

I watched both the whole way through and disagree. Walz was not brilliant but could have made his points more clearly. But he performed better than Biden. Vance did well in the beginning but made too many big blunders - Doubling down on Haitian pet eating nonsense, disrespecting the female moderators, dismissing Jan 6 insurrection as a first amendment issue comparable to Clinton criticizing Russian interference in 2016, and declaring school gun safety can be achieved through making stronger doors and hiring more armed school guards. He was civil though. They both were. That is commendable: |

Somebody flunked their high school civics class. Go back and study what powers are enumerated in a Vice President versus President and then you’d know how stupid you really are when making this allegation. |

No, he went to China about a month or two after the actual Tianamen Square massacre. But my memory (I'm about his age) is that the protest movement and the ensuing crackdown was larger than just that one day. So he may have been remembering the general vibe and not the specific day. Or he may have meant to say he was there "in the wake of" Tianemen Square and short-handed that. It was a dumb unforced error on his part, but I don't think it was a malicious lie. |

Oh, it’s more than a snafu. All military folks detest Stolen Val0r. |

It was pretty much a draw. But Vance made it sound like the GOP agrees with the Democratic Party on abortion and gun control but the GOP hasn’t been able to explain its policies well. Not sure how that translates into a winning GOP argument. If you like the Democratic Party’s position, just vote for the party who isn’t afraid to say what it stands for: the Democrats. |

Let me clean that up. The problems we have had in the last 3.5 years fall directly on Biden/Harris. They have similar policies. Even so, Biden has exited the stage and handed over most responsibilities to Harris. She is sitting in on calls with world leaders, leading relief efforts for Helene, and he is letting her do whatever she wants now with his support. So if these problems are so urgent, why is not fixing them NOW vs waiting for January 2025? |

The USA is not a melting pot. Everybody goes back to their own neighborhoods and separate churches. I think the saying now is that we are a pot of stew, not melting pot. |

My teenager came away with the impression that Vance supports most of the Democratic policies (except on the abortion piece, where he thought it was weird that Vance seemed to want teenage girls with abusive boyfriends to have their babies). |

We get it. You prefer smooth talking lawyers who lie about their opponents, their policies, and the implications of their policies to a person who is not as smooth but was re-elected to Congress five times before becoming a successful governor. You are a moron and why this country is headed for the toilet. I would trust Walz far more to make important decisions. |

And in doing so, turns of core GOP supporters. |
