Walz was way too soft on Vance and let him control most of the debate. I'm tired of Dems positioning themselves as diet Republicans, then acting like they are nothing like while saying how much they agree with a guy like Vance on things lol. Vance also loudly saying you weren't supposed to fact-check me was embarrassing. Walz laid out actual plans and policy but that is not going to reach that crowd they are targeting.

Oh shit, Tim just sunk JD's battleship.
Wtf is Vance talking about? So he’s going to continue separating families, got it.

And Vance is simply refusing to answer the question about child separation. He simply won't.
Another non answer. No plan
Every article I read speculating on the debate brought up Walz' response to the Minnesota protests but it didn't even come up unless I missed it? I was half expecting JD's closing statement to try and attack Tim on it, also half expecting it to turn into a pitch to sign up for Truth and Rumble

Federal land? We don’t have a land problem.
Bust unions and give the rich tax breaks is the spirit animal of not just Trump, but all the GOP.
pretty sure America has legalized slave labour via the prison system
Ouch on the Haitian call.
hey so if vance/trump is going to have things done here instead of overseas why did trump not get that done when he was president. this is the problem (well outside all the others) with his campaign. He had his time at bat and he did not do any of these things.
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Walz gave good answers about 90% of the time but definite dodged a few. Vance, otoh, made shit up constantly and harped on fear topics. Always about the border, blaming Harris for policy she wasn’t responsible for, and offering up an economy that the republicans have zero plans to create.

Lol.. number one export being top soil from flooding.
but Trump isn’t actually going to work to make solar panels in the US or anywhere. This is a non answer that “they haven’t solved all the problems, so we should do nothing.”
I don't think the experts Walz was talking about and the "experts" Vance is talking about are the same experts.
Venture Capitalism! Name the monster.
Maybe people don’t agree with you because you’re a misogynistic dipshit.
So your ex-baby mama is watching. I feel bad for her for ever having crossed your path.
Cutting both their mics was great. I want more of that, please.
Vance: mah family, so relevant
I don’t know the details, but I’ll talk about identity politics instead of addressing the number 1 problem right now.
e: and loop back to the border!!
Your running mate tried to refuse aid to natural disasters a few years ago to areas that didn’t rim him hard enough. Were you not paying attention?
Really, by getting rid of the EPA?
