Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, Vance is now well positioned to win the Republican nod for 2028 presidential nomination -- much to the displeasure of establishment Republicans.
Pundit Bad Hombre’s take on the article:
Walz is also feeling pressure that a bad performance will disappoint Kamala Harris who has already privately expressed frustrations with Walz's awkwardness and blunders on the campaign trail, such as referring to her as a "prostitutor."
Gwen Walz is angry that her husband is being put through the humiliation of debating Vance.
The joy is gone.
Maybe more nervous, according to multiple people who’ve spoken to him.
As they monitor how Vance has been fencing with reporters in Q&As after his many events, Walz aides know their approach risks Walz getting rusty.
Their hands are tied, multiple people involved acknowledge: The vice president’s staff doesn’t want a contrast that would highlight how few unscripted events Harris has done.
Paging Willy Brown?
Campaigns always try to lower expectations before debates.
“This guy, he's the only school teacher in America who brags that none of his students can get into an Ivy League school.”
“He's had one consequential press interaction with our Dana Bash who asked him about the fabrications in his own resume.”
“His answer was essentially, ‘you know, me no understand words good.’”
“I mean, he is a buffoon.
Two very predictable partisan hacks.
Walz has been claiming that Vance abandoned his lower class roots by going to an elite college. Walz has boasted that none of his students ever went on to an elite college. Now to many of us, this does seem like a strange thing to be proud of, but I expect Walz will continue this line of attack in the debate.
I predict a draw. Walz is a likable doofus but people of both parties can relate to him. He's an everyman. That said, he's gaffe-prone.
Vance is a very smart but robotic sociopath. He'll be on point but won't connect with viewers.
Thus, a draw.
I also predict that Vance will use his time to attack Kamala's past policies and how she is now flip-flopping, so voters cannot believe what she says. Even Bernie Sanders recently agreed. No reason to attack Walz. He's just an accessory for Kamala.
Both VP candidates also have to prove they can step into the shoes of the President . . . . . Vance because of Trump's age, and Walz in case Kamala is impeached.
She hasn't been elected yet, let alone inaugurated yet, let alone done anything impeachable in office yet.
PS: There's a pretty good chance the Dems will take control of the House. So are you suggesting she'll get impeached by her own party? LOL.
the Dems will take control of the House?" Did some drunk tell you that because you bought him a drink, or what? Lol
Please get help for your severe case of denial.
Dems are leading are within the margin of error, just like in 2016. IMO, if Harris wins, the close ones will go to Dems, but if Trump wins, he will carry many of these down-ballot contests over the finish line, just like he did in 2016.
It makes sense for Vance to focus on Kamala. I think Walz may focus on Trump, 2025, fine people, the usual lies.
The right, regardless of how bad Vance does will say he won..no matter what. They'll never admit he lost. So Vance will win in their eyes.
The left will say that Walz won with a little reservations.
So it'll be a draw and he'll be playing Monday Morning QB tomorrow
And Walz beats him by a neck...That Jan 6th democracy question sank Vance. I think what Walz said to Vance about Pence, "Oh that's why you're here"...dagger. Vance couldn't answer the who won the election.
So from here on out, relive Jan 6th coup, make ads and run them 24/7 to death
Fuck Immigration, inflation and all the noise...Run that Jan 6th moment with that cop's head caught between the door.
Vance is smooth, Gavin Newsom smooth. Walz was folksy...more genuine
But that's me...

Pro tip when you accurately point out the source, your not stealing other people’s lines.
Anyway, to quote someone else Reprehensible (you not happy) 😲
Vance mopped the floor with walz from question one onward.
Play this narrative over and over ..,,
Dan Abrams of NewsNation and Mediaite:
It doesn’t dictate who to vote for but both debates have had a clear winner and loser.
Because it sounds like the end of the debate was catastrophic for Vance. And Trump.
I’m reading it as if he was commenting during the debate.
Did you see it??
I caught parts of the debate. From what I did see, I would give the edge to Vance. But Walz went into it with lowered expectations, and he met that bar. I don’t see it impacting the result of the election.
...he's become more righty since joining NewsNation.
Disagree. I see him as an open-minded moderate who leans left.
Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming election, Vance is now well positioned to win the Republican nod for 2028 presidential nomination -- much to the displeasure of establishment Republicans.
