Walz & Vance Debate Follow-Along -- Tue, Oct 1, 2024, 8:00 PM CDT

It’s pretty clear that he’s taking notes So he is listening… And since there’s no audience, I think that makes sense. He’s not playing to a crowd when it’s not his turn to speak.

Vance did an admirable job of polishing the turd. But it’s still a turd.

He’s playing to a huge crowd who are watching the debate online or on TV.

Good point. “Hello, Molson? I’d like a delivery, please. Yes, a truckload of Old Style Pilsner would be just fine.”

I was thinking about the manufactured building where my junior high classes were held; someone encountering a securely locked door could have easily shot through the walls.

“Governor Walz, to address inflation won’t the thousands of dollars you propose giving to first-time homebuyers in the form of incentives and tax breaks drive up the cost of housing”?

What the hell is up with the phrasing of some of these questions?

{OK, she did sort of ask the same “loaded question” to Vance once Walz’s two minutes were up}

Moderating:

We are not having a gun control debate in this thread. Take it elsewhere if you wish to continue this line of discussion. Thanks.

“Housing as commodity” good point but I have to admit fighting That trend would be a tough battle even with a Democratic legislature.

“We’re not going to blame immigrants but we’re going to blame immigrants”

How long will the debate be? I don’t care, but I’m hoping that it’s not over in 20 minutes.

And now Vance is back to being full of shit.

They are eating our pets and taking over our homes.

Does this man not understand the office of the vice president?!??

What the hell does he think Harris can do as vice president on her own?

“Drill baby drill”

AMERICA IS LITERALLY THE TOP OIL PRODUCER IN THE WORLD YOU DIPSHIT

I think it’s scheduled to go for just under another hour.

Why does Vance keep suggesting Harris has control over policy? Since when has any VP had that power? (Cheney excepted)

So I’m lagging on real time, but is it just me, or has Vance basically admitted that on both abortion and guns, the Republicans kind of suck?

“Vote for me, because we as a party need to do better!”

He’s going to be sorely disappointed at his duties if Trump wins.

Thanks. And hooray! This is getting to the issues much better than the Trump/Harris debate.

He’s expecting to be the figurehead president in a Musk Administration.
