Not being “used” maybe the wildlife needs it?
Walz pointing out that Trump jokes about big storms creating more beachfront property.
Minor Vance win overall since he had lower expectations going in and Walz got that one unfortunate extremely clippable misspeak. Vance refusing to admit Trump lost in 2020 and his Springfield...thing though cost him any chance of a rout, which is basically required for a VP debate to have significant upballot effects. Still the Republicans probably appreciate getting Vance above Sarah Parin and Aaron Burr and getting the media distracted for another day or two.

If you get the square with "The Cathedral" and are wondering what THAT Is:
It's a term related to extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, who's in the J.D. Vance/Peter Thiel orbit:

Is he capable of answering a single question? This is just tedious.
Trump said blah, pls respond. Lol no, here’s what I imagine Kamala might do in some alternate reality.
Yup. Keep going Walz, attack Trump over and over. That's all you need to do.

Walz pointing out that Trump does diplomacy by tweet.
LOL at Walz just out there on his own and ready and Vance like, "WTF? He's already out here?!"
Vance is... just not answering the question. His delivery is weirdly robotic.

Ha, Walz didn’t just accuse trump of being an agent of chaos – he used YOUR words to point that out, idiot.
first of all let me not answer the question and go off on a tangent.
Walz hitting his stride now
Walz just comes off as so goddamn nice. I wish I could meet him in person.
Vance is slick, but Walz is honest. I hope people can see the difference.
This is marketing word salad, which is all you can expect from someone like Vance.

Trump got the house republicans to turn against their own bipartisan immigration bill so he can run on the issue. Hammer that hard.
A winning comment by Walz here.
Good lord. Can he answer ONE FUCKING QUESTION? Just one.
Great point from Walz on trusting experts.
I think this is how the evening is going to go. Vance simply won't directly answer any questions.
Walz Pro Tip of the Day!
so obsessed with impeaching donald trump. yeah well that happens when you use the us presidency for blackmail. Its not obsession when a person is actually being corrupt.
The way this evening is going for Vance:
MODERATOR: [DIRECT QUESTION]
VANCE: "I'm going to talk about something completely different now."
The MAGA technique
Walz has the receipts on improving the lives of the middle class.
oh snap. walz pushing back on anti expert rhetoric from the right.
Well, first of all.
Well... First of all.
First of all.
Well. First of all.
Vance:
I want the entire Minnesota law dealing with abortion spoken verbatim, sir or my lies and misinterpreting said law will be true!
That was a really good answer from Walz, actually.
But he said he would have a plan 8 years ago… I think he should have more than a concept. No?
Do we care or not care about the future? Vance what?
Kamala Harris is not the president, and you’re a liar.
Your party has relentlessly fought against the working class, which is why we’re struggling and destitute, even after decades of working for the scraps we have.
You’re a liar Vance.
Conclusion: Tim Walz is just too nice a guy to say what needs to be said.
