Vice presidential debate moderated by CBS, Oct. 1, 2024

[Indus]

That's an incredible explanation of the ACA from Walz.

 

[Paratus]

Dammit Walz, just say it. Trump was the one that killed the border bill.

He’s said at least twice that I recall tonight.

 

[Indus]

Wish CBS would have fact checked Vance on this:

Trump just totally negates everything Vance says, lol.

 

[Indus]

This debate desperately needs a Walz "Will you shut up man?" to Vance.

 

[akugami]

Need to hammer it home loudly and in more plain language. Walz rambles a bit. He's smart, and I do like him, but he's not the best speaker.

 

[MrSquished]

Waltz looks pretty prepared to me the problem is you can't let a liar just get away with lying so much and be like we agree so much on this and blah blah blah. Look I know you're Midwestern nice but we're talking about the future of the country's freedoms and democracy as they care you got to be a little tough. I mean Vance is just making shit up non-stop he's just slick about it and if nobody's going to call him out and the media said they weren't well then it's your fucking job to call him out a little bit. I'm not saying get super combative every time but you got to take some opportunities and fucking lay a little bit of smackdown. Unfortunately it's not happening.

 

[ivwshane]

I must say, not having trump in a debate really elevates the level of discussion. This looks like a normal debate and really highlights just how unqualified Trump is.

 

[eelw]

Huhhhhhh????? His reply to 2020 election

 

[ivwshane]

Kamala wants to go after disinformation while Trump wants to lock up political opponents and Vance has the gall to claim he’s worried about Kamala?

 

[eelw]

BWAHAHAHA. “That’s a damning non answer”

 

[ivwshane]

lol Vance with the non answer on if Trump lost the election.

 

[akugami]

BWAHAHAHA. “That’s a damning non answer”

This is the right type of response to bullshit evasion.

 

[Indus]

Your time is up..

WTF?

 

[ivwshane]

I think Vance had the lead on the first half of the debate but the second half belongs to walz.

 

[Indus]

MR is saying.. the campaign told him to be nice and not come across as forceful/ arrogant according to "reporting".. basically a do no harm!

 

[JujuFish]

Walz is too nice. I couldn't do it.

 

[MrSquished]

I think Vance had the lead on the first half of the debate but the second half belongs to walz.

When Vance can lie non-stop and the moderators, and apparently Tim, can't and won't call him out, this is what happens.

 

[Paratus]

I think Vance had the lead on the first half of the debate but the second half belongs to walz.

If he did, it was strictly on speaking performance. As usual the substance was lies, obfuscation, or blowing Trump.

That’s usually not how debate performances are graded by the people though.

 

[Roger Wilco]

Walz’ did great on the Jan 6 question.

 

[eelw]

Surprised Vance didn’t go after Walz on military. And wah wah no Haitians eating pets

 

[ivwshane]

Walz’ did great on the Jan 6 question.

He did and he did even better on talking about health care and housing policies.

 

[eelw]

Good seeing them talking at the end

 

[Paratus]

Not sure I agree. MAGA will mostly be behind Vance. Most Dems won’t be swayed by Vance’s arguments. What fraction of the so called. “Undecided voters” will grade the performance and the substance and be swayed? I don’t know.
