Tonight is the vice presidential debate between Walz and Vance
I haven’t yet decided whether I’ll watch it, but probably not. How about you?
Expectations are very low for Walz but beware – that is sometimes a setup to make anything the person does look good in comparison. Walz will also have the usual advantage of a compliant and helpful media. CBS will be doing the honors.
I’m with you on the subject of watching these so-called “debates.” They have degenerated into a series of “gotcha” questions posed by hostile interrogators to any republican participating and softball, quasi-adulatory set-ups for any democrat. (Republicans get the “When did you stop beating your wife?” question while democrats receive the “How did you ever become so fabulous?” type.) These spectacles are not designed to elicit information or positions but fortify democrat talking points and allow democrats to lie without fear of rebuttal. Having said that, I do hope that Vance scores some verbal knockout blows on both Walz and his media interrogators. Of course, when those same media types provide “analysis,” they will ignore anything positive for Vance and praise Walz’ performance even if he should literally sh-t himself on stage.
I plan to watch and enjoy it.
Is it true that Walz made 30 trips to China? China is nice to visit, my wife went there when she was 20, but 30 times….
Nope.
The debate should take on an interesting twist tonight following the attack on Israel and the Obama/Biden/Harris enabling of such.
I always plan to watch, then, switch to record and watch later, then,after getting gist from internet, delete without ever watching
Vance needs a ready answer for cats and dogs, needs to get in a stolen valor dig, even if subtle.
And, dis Kamala as much as possible.
Last Bite Hotel on Food Network. I’m already voting for the non-socialist ticket.
What Vance does very, very well is that he refuses to accept the framing the Democrats with by-lines always include when they ask a question. There was an appearance Vance made on CNN I think it was where Dana Bash spent a minute and half framing a gotcha question for Vance which Vance immediately destroyed which left Bash sputtering. He should look for similar opportunities tonight because they will surely be there for the taking.
I will rely on after action reports. Looking at you, Neo.
Yes they do the sword swish and vance fires at the target i know margaret brennan is the trick ace in deck but i expect jd to handle them both
There are some classic films on tcm that seem to elizabethan themed including anne of a thousand day
John guy the revisionist historian seems to be properly taking henry tudor apart
Will Tampon Tim even show up? In 2022 he did poorly in a debate with his GOP opponent, so he simply refused to show up for the next three.
I don’t plan to watch, just wait for the clips and memes to show up on X.
Expectations were very low for Kamala at the last debate, and she pulled it off. We’ll see.
Walz is a malodorous POS, a China-lover. Harris has not received even one (uno) vote from an American voter.
This should not be even a close election, but it is. Thank the propaganda by the MSM, run by Democrats, and the dumb ass voters out there, the couch potatoes sucking up TV garbage.
Newt Gingrich and Ann Coulter are wizards at spotting and dismantling the planted axiom in a question. Fun to watch. Hope Vance is at least half as good.
I don’t see how all the current chaos in the world — Trump assassination attempts, Biden coup, inflation, border crisis, Ukraine War, October 7, Gaza War, Hezbollah War, Iran counter-attack — can possibly favor Harris/Walz.
Especially since so much of all that has roots in Obama/Biden/Harris.
Their whole “We’re the adults in the room” stance, while offering nothing but feel-good gabble can’t be the ticket.
@huxley:Their whole “We’re the adults in the room” stance, while offering nothing but feel-good gabble can’t be the ticket.
It’s not. It’s “Trust the government”. The people who count the ballots in the blue precincts will see to it that they get the needed votes….
I’m watching, at the one hour break. Vance doing well, Walz getting red in the face.
Biggest takeaway is that the 2 harpies from CBS are trying to out bias ABC. Disgusting.
“I can’t see how…”
It’s all pretty simple, really: it’s ALL Trump’s fault.
Even if it isn’t his fault, it—deep down—IS his fault…this because Trump IS the Devil.
(And we know he’s the Devil because the Democrats and their media quislings have been telling us 24/7 over the past eight years that he is. Saturating us with his ignominy. Bombarding us with his criminality, his dishonesty, his uncouthness…and his lack of style.)
And if yer a bit skeptical regarding whether the Devil exists…or not (or if yer agnostic on the matter) then let’s look at the “issue” from another angle:
Trump IS Emanuel Goldstein.
The eternal, diabolical JEW.
The irredeemable “enemy of the people”(TM).
A man to be hated and despised. AND FEARED!!
Gotten rid of.
Put away.
In fact Trump is SO Jewish that even an extraordinary number of Jews find it proper to demonize him..and feel really good—really VIRTUOUS— about doing so.
I’ve been busy, listened to about 10 minutes on the radio in 2 segments, separated by about 10 minutes. Based on that brief impression they are both likely making their bases happy. Vance is more intelligent than Walz, and, as Yancey Ward stated, Vance is very adept at sidestepping the moderators’ bias. However, Walz is coming across as seriously concerned for peoples’ welfare, even threw in a Gospel quote.
Absolutely agree with physicsguy on the moderators. Just awful. I could almost physically sense the bias and disdain for Vance emanating from the radio as they spoke.
I just quit at 1022…the moderators are just too much. What got me was they now asking about making the US more child care friendly like Europe. Their questions are all slow pitches to the Democrats. I thought after ABC that these MSM people would have some shame, but Nooooo.
