Alright, this is falling squarely within what I expected. Walz nominally loses in terms of presentation, as was already known up front it doesn’t matter in the slightest.
I mean, something completely insane could happen in the final 30 minutes I guess to actually make the evening matter, but there’s no sign that that’s coming.
Vance is an expert at this. Has Walz on the defensive. He’s so good at lying but making it sound reasonable.
Yes, the answer to mass shootings is better locks on doors. Fuck off.
Quit being nice to him.
I think he was about to quote Vance on saying school shootings are a fact of life and decided against it.
Christ have mercy
Get the blacks! - jd Vance
Did Walz just say he’s become friends with school shooters?
I was friends w school
Shooters - Tim walz
Walz is completely dropping the ball. Vance has said so many awful things during this campaign and wants to do so many awful things and Walz refuses to attack him on any of it.
‘I’ve become friends with school shooters’
he did yeah
His mouth is moving faster than his brain. He hasn’t settled down. Ugh
Walz is too nice for this, but pointing out that a Secret Service detail couldn’t stop Trump from getting shot sure would have been a spicy rebuttal to the “just get more School Resource Officers” plan
This was always going to be an L for Walz. The one thing that Vance is good at is appearing to be a good and smart debater.
Walz is trying to be a Yale gentleman. He would be better off if he treated this like a street brawl.
We need early July Walz to show up.
Should be so easy to spike illegal migrsht home owners in his face
They’re both fine. I’m about 5 min behind, but this is very drawish so far.
The disappointment for me is in the expectations. I expected better of Walz and worse of Vance, so I have a sad.
Really disappointing if Walz didn’t come prepared to rebut the only 3 or 4 narratives that Vance would try to drive home tonight.
