Is Walz addressing the camera? I’m not watching. ---

Yes, and pretty well I’d say. When Vance is talking, he’s sending eye-lasers directly at Vance, but when Walz is talking he’s staring through the camera. ---

My biggest take away so far is this debate highlights exactly how fucking nuts the Trump debate performance was. ---

Yeah, this is definitely a far more substansive debate than any debate Trump has ever been involved in. ---

I wonder if the sanity of this so far will bore a lot of folks, particularly on the MAGA side and result in them tuning out. ---

Apparently, Harris has been the most powerful VP in history. ---

Few are listening to the specifics of Walz’s answer; they are hearing the tone and the confidence and the emotion. It was good. ---

Vance is sharp and slick. Walz feels a little unsteady, but he’s passionate. ---

Sounds like a fact checker needs to remind people of the powers/responsibilities of the office of vice president. ---

What on earth does Vance think the vpotus do? They are not the president. ---
