Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole “immigrants eating cats and dogs” thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out “Weird!” at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

    It was okay. Walz was the nice dad. Vance was the slimy, mudslinging worm he is, a true politician in every negative sense of the word.

    Walz was too nice and charitable towards Vance and gave him credit on certain issues, and Vance didn’t return it in kind.

    Vance lied through his teeth and wouldn’t answer a single goddamn question. Spent most of his time saying how terrible Kamala was and almost none about how Trump would be good for people.

    I left thinking it was an okay performance from both, but I suspect people will remember Vance being a greasy little weasel and Walz being a nice dad. Overall, a net positive for Harris/Walz, but only a little.
