I would vote for Tim Walz for president. Dude has made more sense tonight than any politician I’ve listened to in ages.
Does he realize that he is just spewing lies – oh wait he doesnt, he is funded by a billionaire
Confidence matters to the non political follower. Walz did not seem confident. Vance was confident in his lies
jd vance nice closing statements, real genuine lmao. bootlicker
It’s a country not a couch, Vance
Walz: “My state, under my leadership, is a bastion of freedom and prosperity”.
Vance: “In Ohio, which has had decades of complete, unfettered Republican control, we can’t afford heat. Or food.”
I love when Republicans are saying everyone should afford utilities and food and then design policies that purposely remove these things from people’s reach.
Lol. Trump FAILED before and that’s why he lost.
So more natural gas and home heating oil assistance, but Kamala has made it harder?
Vance if you want to help, encourage more heat pumps. Heat pumps save money.
Maybe Donald could pay taxes and those people could pay less and get some damn food, JD
People on your campaign trail can’t afford food? Maybe because they keep sending their money to the fraud billionaire’s go fund me
“I’m rooting for ya!”
fucking cringe JD vance
Judging from the angry screeching and 3rd grade insults directed at Vance in this thread, it seems pretty clear who actually won the debate :^)
Asking voters to vote for change by voting for Trump is such an oxymoron
I just wanna say…fuck off JD Vance
We need change. Vote for the guy who had the job before.
This is trump’s third time running. Stop trying to make him the “change” candidate.
Tonight, Vance won over many of the swing voters who were on the fence about holding their nose and voting Trump. Expecting a shift to the right in the swing states.
Media is going to call this a Vance win
God it’s a curse that stupid people just take his lies at face value.
We need change, which is going back to the old change 8 years ago
Great, hopeful answer from Walz. Vance is just going “Harris is VP and she didn’t do anything! Energy and immigration!”
Vance probably should have gotten away from the “Kamala is president” thing in his closing statement.
Aannddd scene
That was actually a nice debate on policy
“We need a new direction… we need a guy who’s done this before”
It was refreshing to watch a debate where the two acted like adults, stopped talking, for the most part, when their turn was up, and were talking about what they stand for.
We need change!
We need the old guy we already kicked out for sucking in office!
JD Vance, everyone
Kamala Harris fault for everything is she president?
Fear and attacks on your closing statements? Wow
JD: Everything wrong with the country is the fault of Kamala Harris!
I swear… the man can speak, but just all the excrement that the GOP believes.
I’m tired of presidential administrations being blamed for inaction when they’re dealing with a deadlocked congress.
We need a change, we need a president who’s done this before 🤡
As a non-citizen, Americans: please forking vote!
What time does Colbert go on after the debate?
But we already had Trump’s change…
Did the feed just die???
I’m rooting for you….what a weird thing to say
“We need a new direction, we need a persident who did this once before.” What the fuck?
God bless ya. Good night. Huh?
Vance had him in the first half, not gonna lie.
We need change, we need to go back to our old president
He’s rooting for us? Regarding what, the purge?
‘Kamala Harris’s policies’ is so disingenuous. She’s the vice president
clapping because vance is getting off the stage 👏👏
