If they are undecided it’s unlikely they would be watching the debate. Undecided are low information voters who get their news from social media.

Think we can pretty much call the debate a wash or Walz being better.
The really good thing is he didn't crumble even though he looked older. He was really energetic at defending himself and knew when to inject "knucklehead" humor to brush off the media attack.
Seems way more genuine and likeable than Vance who just basically seems like Trump's valet/ spokesperson at this time.

I think, for me personally, the debate winner is clear, walz. My requirements are substance and presentation. Vance performed well or better than walz during the first half even though he was lacking actual substance. But walz showed up in the second half and brought a really good policy discussion to the table.
If I was a low information voter it would probably be a wash.

Pundit brought up a good point. Vance didn’t do a bad job. The orange monkey won’t want him to be the last word. So who knows if there will be another debate.

Moderation is easier when you don't have an idiot screaming and hollering.
I will be honest... Vance would perform better than Trump if he were the presidential nominee.

Next generation of coup loving MAGA will be far more dangerous than Trump ever dreamed of being.
Vance's ability for public speaking is a testament to that.

The let's shake hands after the election. Vance claimed that's how it went Jan. 20. That was a lie. Fact is surly Trump stomped out, left, and did not witness the inauguration.

Trump won't risk another debate. He's scared. He was thrashed. He never even glanced at Kamala after she came over and shook his hand. He'd much rather say shit about her than confront her in a moderated debate. He likes the prize fighter analogy, nurses the illusion that he pummeled her and refuses a rematch. Bullshit artist. He can't handle information, he's just that stupid. I wonder if he would score 100 on an IQ test. I really doubt it.
No his ego will take over. Their camp has enough to praise Vance from this performance. Once it goes on for too long, he’ll put his foot in his mouth to take back the spotlight.

You may well be right. If it does happen it will be a mistake on his part. He'll lose badly... again, but worse.
Idiotic the R pundit thinking Walz tiananmen Square gaff was worse than the Vance 2020 non answer

It's the ratings they're after. They want scandal, they want spit flying in the air everywhere, they want bulging eyeballs with daggers flying out of them, they want things to be said that should never see the light of day.
This is an entertainment event as far as the network bean counters are concerned and they want live action, cameras cutting each other off by the seconds and not deadbeats sneering and wagging their fingers at each other.

I can't quite decide if both sides think a draw was acceptable considering the pluses and minuses both debaters brought to the show. I know for certain though that the Republicans believe a draw is a solid victory for them considering their whole campaign is based on a web of interconnected lies and disinformation starting with The Big Lie itself and going off a cliff from thereon in.
As well, coming away with a draw gives them a lot of elbow room to rewrite the whole debate as an indisputable over the top victory for Vance as a means to make potential voters forget about the constant flow of smoothly delivered lies and dodging self-incriminating answers that Vance perpetrated throughout the show.

Funny, I read two accounts of the debate via yahoo. One starting off implying it was pretty uneventful, but then went on to talk at length about Walz's "gaffes" and in effect implied it was a win for Vance (while taking pains to point out he came across as perfectly normal and pleasant, and in no way weird, no, not weird at all). The other started off saying it was pretty much a wash but then went on to emphasise Vance's final 'weird' remarks.
The first was from The Telegraph (that is absolutely rabid and unashamed about its right-wing pro-Trump bias) the latter from the Independent (that I see as centrist, but many probably see as left leaning).

Judging from that and what's been said here, I'm assuming it was indeed pretty much a wash.

Who won the Vance v Walz debate? Our experts are unanimous
If viewers of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate were expecting fireworks, they were sorely disappointed.
It took nearly 90 minutes, but Tim Walz made clear exactly why Donald Trump chose JD Vance
ANALYSIS: There may not have been a knockout blow in the vice presidential debate, but Vance’s answer to the last question couldn’t have been more revealing, writes Andrew Feinberg

Most of the panels I've seen of people who watched it favored Walz and the polls look like a wash. First rule is do no harm and he accomplished that. The Jan 6 and Trump losing the election stuff is probably the most meaningful in terms of any useful material that emerged for either side.
Still funny that even though Vance's approval rose in the post debate polls still underwater in all of them and Walz became even more likable per the same people.

And Trump refuses to do his (they are "traditional"), because he can't. He would be incoherent because he can't be coherent. He can't think straight, he can't process complex information. He can't even answer a direct question. He's a hot fucking mess. He makes sweeping assertions that can't be substantiated. Claims the wars going on now would never happen if he were president, claims he can stop those wars instantly the moment he gets sworn in as president again, with no further details.

Priebus (ABC coverage)? I fast forwarded through his remarks after the first ~7 seconds. I don't need that bullshit.
