Walz Vance debate
-
His facial expressions throughout the night made him look perpetually hapless, like Don Rickles’s wimpy Lutheran brother, here to nod eagerly at you instead of hurl insults.

I don't know if this is accurate, but I'll bet it's pretty close:
Hugh Hewitt:
Abortion has now taken a third of a debate after Iran fired 180+ missiles at Iran (sic). Not one question on China, DOD, Ukraine. It's a remarkable abdication by legacy media and the last time GOP should ever agree to left wing media moderating anything.
Yep, concentrate on the issue everybody knows is a loser for the GOP.

I watched the whole debate. Several of the issues were the same as to what is being debated in this country. Not surprisingly, Walz is still working his last job. Don’t think it helps him. Not sure about Vance, although he strikes me as a more educated and smoother version of our little P.P., Pierre Poilievre.
Can’t help but think though that Walz too often pulled faces that made himself look like Don Rickles. It was distracting.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

He looked alternately puzzled and scared. I'd love to clean him out at the poker table.
LOL!

Abortion > Possible nuclear war.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

When Vance's mic was cut, he was trying to explain the use of the CBP app. Walz was wrong in his characterization of that policy.
The idiot moderators at CBS should have let Vance make his point and then allow Walz a short rebuttal. After all, this was a debate and the two were addressing perhaps the largest issue of the campaign.
No, we had to go to climate change, with O'Donnell prefacing her question with opinion stated as fact.
Sheesh...

It was 10 minutes on abortion.

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.
Yes it's demonstrably true that because of Trump's rhetoric and rally spinning up his supporters, we saw the largest mass assault on law enforcement in US history that day, 140 police officers injured. A few dying within days, not to mention a few MAGA folks dying from heart attacks, one overdose (ok maybe that one isn't related), and one dying after trying to breach a barrier guarded by officers with guns yelling not to break through.
But yes Vance, let's focus on the future.
Kind of feel bad for Vance... he's a solid guy, as @Mik said either of these guys would be better for the job than Trump or Harris, Vance spoke the truth before about Trump only now to have to swallow his integrity so as to gain power. Maybe it's 4D chess where Vance is doing this to become president in 2028 and then implement his principals before he became a Trump sycophant.
I only watched the first 10 minutes, it seems Walz was nervous but got into his groove. It otherwise reminded me of civil debates pre-2016 before the 3rd grader bully invaded the stage.

Listen for politicians of all stripes to begin their sentences with “look”, downward inflected. It’s the mark of folksy honesty forthcoming and it is peppered throughout almost every trained politicians speeches.

I would bet any amount of money that 140 officers beaten that day (Walz’s claim) would stand up to no scrutiny. Actually 140 officers injured would also probably stand up to no scrutiny, unless one expands the definition of “injured” beyond any recognition.

The British burned the whole place to the ground, IIRC.
