“Governor Walz, you said you were in Hong Kong for the Tiananmen protests in the Spring of 1989, but it was reported that you didn’t travel to Asia until August of that year - can you explain that?”
Good question to Vance regarding his backtracking on “Trump will be Hitler” remarks.
Thanks. Did Walz answer well?
It took him a long time to answer that but eventually he just said I misspoke. He should have just said that right off the bat and then shut up.
Now hitting Vance with the “you talked shit about TFG in the past, now you’re flip flopping” question.
Over 40 minutes in. How many have flipped channels by now?
WTF IS THIS TOPIC?Is this a voting issue on 1989 China?
Vance blaming the Republicans in Congress?
Ooo, praising Biden!
I wonder if the questions are sometimes deliberately asked to try to throw the candidate off their guard, to see how they respond under pressure?
Wow I hate Vance. The guy lies about as well as Trump.
Tim, please just answer the question. Is this what the bill says? No!
The moderators are trying to be fair by having them both explain things they said in past and are now distancing themselves from.
I think the China question to Walz has little to nothing to do with his character.
The flip flop by Vance on his Trump comments is more relevant but still pretty meh to me.
Walz talking about victims of Trump’s abortion ban.
I wonder if they’ll bring up the military service nontroversy to Walz.
Walz on abortion: Let me tell you about Susie so and so from Texas…
This is about as formulaic as I can stand.
Agree. He is coming across frantic. Walz is roughly meeting expectations for this debate and Vance is far exceeding so far. They have been cordial and civil for the first 20 minutes.
Yes! Address the “ninth month” lie immediately - you have time to elaborate after .
He did say “that’s not what the bill says” right off.
I both want to stop following this thread and can’t stop.
Wait, are they 20 minutes in or 40?
