Do they challenge him on the claim that police died because of January 6th?
He said 140 police officers were beaten.
And many later died.

Not inaccurate. I’m sure many police officers have died since January 6.

Over 80% of people exposed to DiHydrogen Monoxide have died.

Yeah, I agree, George. Been pleasantly surprised by Walz.
Six term congressman, two term governor. He's not a novice politician.

You need to understand the low standard I expected.

The Harris Campaign had spent days lowering expectations, much as they did for her.

My take? Vance handled the abortion question brilliantly. That needs to become the pro-life platform for the time being.
Walz came across better on gun control, excepting his weird thing about befriending school shooters and the thing about his son witnessing a shooting. You know that’s going to be fact checked. It sounds like all of the other exaggerations Walz has made.
I liked how Vance turned the Jan 6 question around to a challenge about censorship and the 1st amendment.
Altogether, though? Both scared the shit out of me. Both are fully engaged in the idea of a large and expansive government that needs to have it’s fingerprints on everything, from the price of a load of bread, to people’s investments in their homes, to national daycare. They both seem to think government is the answer for everything.

The question is whether it actually matters?

Given his attitude that socialism is just being neighborly, Walz can be relied on to love big government solutions at every turn. Vance clearly has principles against big government, even if he abandons them on a case by case basis. As does everybody who's not an anarchist.
I heard a story about Walz's wife during the BLM riots in her city. She opened the windows to take in the smell of burning cars, to revel in it.
Read between the lines and you can tell the BLM riots excited her. White woman smelling exciting justice riots from open window of governor's mansion. There's a parable there somewhere.

I think the GOP should no longer do a debate sponsored by any major network.
From now on, let each candidate pick a questioner for the other candidate, and hold one debate
Secondly, hold two town halls, one in a deeply blue state, one in a deeply red state, pulling registered voters at random - one third each, GOP, Dem and Independent.
Have a man standing behind the moderator with a cattle prod. If the moderator breaks the rules, zap him!

One surprising thing was when they did hold Walz’s feet to the fire over the claim that he was in Hong Kong during Tiananmen Square.

I was encouraged by how much common ground was identified last night. What sticks with me this morning is the GAO estimates on the respective economic plans.

Wait, what? I didn’t even catch that. There were several collegiate estimates and the Goldman Sachs thing that was walked back. Can you send me something on the GAO estimates.
