So we will be able to hear Vance talking to himself about what couch he slept on?

Makes sense, neither of these candidates suffer from the verbal incontinence that seems to afflict the guy this rule was originally proposed for
palmwhispers on
Sure, because it won’t be necessary. Neither of these guys is going to completely melt down and start yelling all over the place

We’ll be able to hear JD’s plaintive whines in the background as he’s throttled into submission.

Will there be a donut counter for both to order from?

I don’t like that. I’d rather the mics be muted. I hate it when candidates talk over each other and you can’t hear what either person is saying. If the moderators are going to turn off mics sometimes, they need to make sure they’re doing it in a fair way, treating both candidates equally instead of letting one interrupt more than the other.

Which proves that the Trump campaign aren’t opposed to open mics, they just didn’t trust Trump to not say something terrible.

Coach is going to have that Vance kid running bleachers. Can’t wait!

Keeping it spicy, should be fun to hear Wals laugh at Vance for how dumb his arguments will be. It was supposed to be boring, but now sounding interesting.

If you read vance back in 2020, he is on point with sharp analysis on trump. He delivers blows in 2 sentences that are insanely good. I really fear he is severely underestimated and actually a lot better than walz in analysing stuff and bringing his point of view fast accurate and provocative on the voters
forceblast on
I fully expect Vance to be a better debater on the technical aspects of debating, but I think he will come off as pompous, arrogant, and artificial compared to Walz.
Walz will probably be a less technically adept debater but come off as way more personable and genuine. I’m hoping that translates to a “win”.
Either way voting Harris/Walz.
WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!

The mics weren’t muted during the recent ABC debate, either. They hurriedly unmuted his mic any time he started talking out of turn, defeating the entire purpose of the rule.

Walz has been a wee bit scripted in interviews and rallies. They should tell him to take off the gloves and let it rip against Vance.

I trust Coach to handle his business against Vance.
Nerney9 on
Walz has an abundance of charisma in his folksy midwest way, which Vance utterly lacks. However, Vance is incredibly well educated and has plenty of speaking experience (when he’s not buying donuts).
Vance isn’t a true MAGA believer, and skews more on the ‘smart-but-evil’ side, so his lies will likely sound reasonable, and rattling him probably won’t be nearly as easy as it was with Trump.
Might be an interesting debate.

> Walz, meanwhile, has held mock debates, sources told ABC News, with Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, in his personal capacity, acting as a Vance stand-in,
Can you imagine how awesome a debate prep partner Pete must be? The professional Fox News correcter imparting his techniques.

How many times will JD Vance open his pie hole to spout nonsense?
I hope Tim baits him every bit as hard as they baited Trump.

Too bad, I think it’s a good rule. Why allow them the opportunity to interrupt each other?

So we can hear about Haitians and their choice in cuisine?

For JD Vances sake it better be muted😂

It will be funny, JD Vance will say that Hatian are from Hatia 😂

All Tim (being from MN) has to do is bring TaterTot hot dish to the debate.
Game over.

J.D Vance seems like a Tim Robinson skit come to life so I can’t wait to hear his dumb quips when he “Forgets” the mics are live.

Tim: “So JD, what does “JD” stand for? Juvenile Delinquent?”

I hope Walz wrecks this turd.

I like Walz, and I think he’s going to take Vance to school. But just for tonight … I wish it was Buttigieg.
He’s just got such a flair for making stupid ideas look stupid and looking like a fucking boss when doing it.
