Naw, it’s a great thread. I’m appreciating all the comments. ---

Did Vance grow up in a working class family? I am unclear on that point. /s ---

I keep waiting for Vance’s second set of eyelids to close. ---

He could have been much more empathetic. He should have mocked the mere suggestion. He really did gloss over the denial quickly and moved on. ---

I think vance is lying. If project 2025 is to be believed. ---

> [@Sylvanz](#): > > I think vance is lying. If project 2025 is to be believed. Yes, but he does it so much better than Trump did in his debate. Vance sounds believable, even though he’s lying. ---

Walz needs to hammer on Project 2025. ---

But is Vance appearing more likeable than before? ---

Vance seems to be saying that yeah the Republicans have really messed up and have lost the public’s trust, but he and Trump are going to fix that. Excuse me? ---

Yeah, I keep wondering what people consider “success” for both candidates. I’m still not sure. ---

Yes. He’s coming across as professional. He’s not giving of any"weird" vibes, imo. ---

Oof, “we’re not pro-abortion” is going to ruffle some feathers.
