I wanted to see the whole thing. Tim isn’t answering the question. He’s trashing Donald instead. ---

Walz a little unsteady on foreign policy but turns it around into attacking Trump’s fitness on the topic. ---

Walz is nervous. And not answering the decent question. ---

Yeah. C’mon, Walz, answer the question, which was not about Trump. ---

Vance is not answering the question even more so that’s cool. ---

Okay Vance isn’t answering it either instead he’s giving Kamala Harris’s life story about being raised by a working mom. ---

Definitely coming across as nervous. This is not a good start for Walz. ---

It shouldn’t be a hard question to answer: “It depends on a full assessment of the particular situation” ---

I feel like Vance is gonna confidently bullshit his way to victory, while Walz is gonna be genuine but stumble his way to a hard loss. I fear. I hope, hope hope I’m wrong ---

Walz seems to be getting a little more confident. Good sign. ---
