Well, I'll tell you one thing, this debate between two Vice Presidential nominees was certainly a throwback to the old days, when two fellas got together and debated civilly and politely. Yeah sure, one was lying his ass off the entire time and the other was at times a bit baffled on how to express himself, but ya know, it was nice to see the civility. For 90 minutes at least.
Vance was the slick Yalie acting like he was the smartest guy in the room and condescendingly mansplaining to the two female moderators his lies. He treated Walz, the midwestern gadfly in a small town in Nebraska who the town knows is the lib but still get along with, like a lesser while lying about everything. Usually when you think you're the smartest guy in the room, you aint even close. The Dunning Krueger Effect, folks. But Vance is incapable of not thinking that because he truly believes his bullshit don't stink.
Walz was the guy listening to the loudmouth at the end of the bar yet resists all urges to tell the guy he's full of shit because that is who Walz is. Walz grew up in rural Nebraska, where the Republican ties are almost genetic in nature. Walz has heard this crap his whole life, and deals with it accordingly in a gentle polite manner. And boy was the crap flowing last night.
Vance lied about Obamacare, actually claiming Trump "salvaged" it, Yeah, by repealing it for hos concept of a plan. Thank you, John McCain, who actually DID salvage Obamacare. Vance, one of those guys who says your name in every sentence, was like a sleazy furniture salesman who gets in your way as you attempt to rid yourself of his presence. He lied about the economy, he lied about the border, he lied about inflation and for some reason thinks the Veep has power to institute policy. Vance, who was outwardly decent, had that inner Trump ready to go but Walz wouldn't let him unleash it.
Vance claimed he never ever proposed a nationwide abortion ban. Oh sorry, JD, screen shots are forever. Everyone with a sense of sanity knows that 100% bullshit. It was on his website until he deleted it. He pushed the Trump lie that he would veto a nationwide abortion ban. Vance lies even more smoothly than the word salad that comes out of Trumps mouth. He's a trained liar. Thanks Yale.
Walz was unpolished for sure. For the style over substance crowd, this was a slam dunk for Vance. If you're a substance over style person, Vance lost bigly. But cmon now, man, who'd you rather have a conversation with? Thats a real slam dunk.
Then came the election denial when Vance could not bring himself to say that Trump lost because he knew the perp was watching and posting on the joke Truth Social. And when that happened, Walz pounced and knocked Vance out. 'Thats a damning non-answer" was the line of the night. Because it WAS. Stop with the I'm all about the future garbage. Answer the fucking question.
All in all, the debate was pointless. Nobody changed their mind. But it was interesting to see the civility between the two men and their wives as Trump hate posted from Mar A Dumpo. That was actually cool.
So post all the "I have become friends with school shooters" stuff you want, Magats.. That was a slip of the tongue. Denying the election results from 4 years ago was a lie and a calculated one at that. Denying you were for a nationwide abortion ban was also a calculated lie.
It's your choice America. The guy who helps you fix your car or the guy who lies about how to fix it.
