Harris/Walz are too mental midget for the World on fire and economic ditch.
Trump and Vance are only appealing to idiot men.
That’s such a sad thing to say. Woman here. Voting for Trump, although I do wish Vance were the presidential candidate.

Waltz is folksy and relatable but the split screen visual did go in Vance’s favor with Walz appearing sweaty and anxious. Remember, younger generations know all about social media and how to look better, sound better and be insta ready angled.
The age difference did show just as with Trump vs Harris. Look as far back at Kennedy vs Nixon. There is a lesson to be learned about how to present yourself and how others will view you. Calm means you are winning.
None of this will matter in a week. Trump is still at the top of the ticket and Vance wrote the forward to Project 2025.

Vance looked super slick but dodged all the hard issues, and doubled-down on the pet-eating story.
Walz struggled but his sincerity was apparent.
So naturally, people think Vance won. And they even like him more.
Aren't voters dumb?

He changed his name, religion, stance on Trump and refuses to admit he lied when caught in a lie.

JD Vance sailed fairly smoothly through some 90 minutes of Tuesday’s debate with Tim Walz. Then the subject turned to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/02/us/politics/vance-jan-6-debate.html
This! This was the only question and response that really mattered in the whole debate. Vance refused to address the question of whether Trump lost the 2020 election. What else do you need to know about him?
Here's the exchange:
Walz then reminded Vance that Trump still refuses to concede he lost the election and asked Vance directly: "Did he lose the 2020 election?"
"Tim, I'm focused on the future," Vance responded. "Did Kamala Harris censor Americans from speaking their mind in the wake of the 2020 COVID situation?"
"That is a damning non-answer," Walz said.

I think this moment is going to haunt him - whiny little b**ch who wants to be able to lie without anyone calling him on it
I agree. Vance tried to lawyer his way out later by trying to explain they are legal temporarily versus legal permanently, but there's no avoiding the truth: Vance intentionally LIED when he called them ILLEGAL. They are not illegal, and that LIE has dangerous consequences to the humans living and working legally in that community, and Vance needed to be fact-checked ASAP.

Anonymous wrote:Climate change
Amid the devastating damage from Hurricane Helene, both were asked if climate change was contributing to such extreme weather events. Walz emphatically said climate change was "real" while Vance expressed skepticism about "weird science," stating carbon emissions were contributing to the climate crisis.
Health care,
Vance was pressed on Trump's comment that he only had "concepts of a plan" to replace the Affordable Care Act and how their administration would protect people with preexisting conditions.
He also distorted many of Trump's actions on the ACA and claimed Trump made the law stronger, which he actually tried to kill twice but failed thanks to the late great John McCain.
Housing crisis
Walz was asked about Harris' plan to build three million new homes (which he argued would not drive up prices and would lead to generational wealth) and whether he believed it was likely Congress would agree to her proposal for an enhanced Child Tax Credit. He said both high housing and child care costs were the biggest burdens on American families.
Abortion
Vance claimed that he never supported a national abortion ban, despite previously signaling support for a bill introduced by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham that would ban abortion after 15 weeks nationwide.
Walz spoke about the women whose health has been negatively impacted by state-level restrictions since the fall of Roe v. Wade. Walz blamed Trump for the Supreme Court nominations he said "put this all into motion."
Groundhog Day Jan 6
Vance refused to say if he will accept election, doesn't condemn Jan. 6
Near end, Vance was asked if he would seek to challenge the 2024 election even if every governor certified the results. However, the senator sidestepped the question and pivoted to what he claimed was Harris and tech companies censoring people. He also brought up the endorsements of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.
Walz said he was troubled by Vance's statement and said such denials needed to come to an end.
"Here we are, four years later, in the same boat. I will tell you, that when this is over, we need to shake hands, this election, and the winner needs to be the winner. This has got to stop. It's tearing our country apart.”

I think Tim maybe needed a little more prep, but let's be honest there was no way he was going to win when it does not matter what the other side says. Jd didn't even have to prep. He could just literally make up whatever he wanted in the moment based on what Tim said and know that it does not matter at all to his voters
Walz is too old and too politically experienced to act like a nervous wreck during a single debate.
He was a senior enlisted leader in the US military and a football coach, but was in shambles last night. Something isn’t right about that.
Any man that doesn’t act like a toxic frat bro and bully people is “in shambles” for MAGA.
Vance didn’t act like a toxic frat bro.
Walz called himself a knucklehead. What a joke. Why would anyone vote for a self described knucklehead?
People with humility. Very typical for a Minnesotan.
Being humble is great, admitting you are an idiot is not great.
Nobody running for VP should have to explain their lies and misstatements as occurring because they are a knucklehead. That’s ridiculous.
Walz admitted he’s not fit for office. It’s embarrassing.
He misspoke. Not that big of a deal when compared to the garbage statements coming out of Trump and Vance.
Republicans don't actually care about lying, they just don't want their leaders to admit it. Vance lied all night. He was even caught on camera for lying and calling Haitian immigrants ILLEGALS when they are in Springfield on legal visas.

I’m not voting his ticket but this is my honest opinion. Out of the candidates on both tickets he is the strongest debater.
He is also much younger than ol’ man Walz. I just wonder if Vance might hold back due to respect for someone so much older than himself?
Vance was just like Obama: smooth, polished and very well put together in his appearance and in his thoughts. Out of four of them, he is the most presidential unfortunately.
He certainly lies better than the others.
Vance does give Obama's vibes and I see why a lot of people don't like him.
A lot of people found Vance more likeable after hearing him speaking, instead of cut of media selected pieces. He is very civil, educated, great family. What not to like?
