Nope.

Yeah, I agree, George. Been pleasantly surprised by Walz.

Six term congressman, two term governor. He's not a novice politician.

He said 140 police officers were beaten.

And many later died.

Brit Hume said the moderators were horrible. Three on one.

I didn’t watch all of it but thought candidates and moderators were better than last time

That was abundantly clear.

OK, did Vance bury the "weird" moniker?

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

[LuFins Dad]

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

No, gone was the divisive rhetoric. I sort of figured that one wouldn't play on a debate stage. Not least because Vance doesn't actually come off as weird.

You need to understand the low standard I expected.

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

At times, I was confused.

Was Walz running for VP of the United States or Minnesota?

[George K]

LOL.

School shooters have distanced themselves from Tim Walz, clarifying that "we didn't even know him that well" and "our mom made us invite him to our birthday parties like one time."

Debates are pictures and sound bites.

God Bless him, Walz provided a heckuva sound bite.

[LuFins Dad]

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.
