Because he's preparing?

Walz is going to feed Vance some free school lunch.

Also, all live mics all the time... you have to play the expectations game if you're Walz. Vance is a lawyer, he's more comfortable in this medium.

These debates suck, because at the end of the day, it'll play out how we think it will. The loudest voice will win. I doesn't need to be coherent or based on any facts. They're just going to continue shout "fake news! media bias!" as their defence everytime they're called out, and their base will just lap it up. And the debate just dies. Why do we even pretend these matter anymore?

I don't think anyone really thinks they matter at the end of the day in today's climate. But given how many people on this forum still watch them, they're still watched by many people in the same way you watch something for the chaos...

The last debate was an Orange-Faced Clown Show that I in no way regret watching. Experiencing that as it happened felt surreal.

Not that surprising. Levi is pilled.

Watching him lose his #### after she called his rallies boring, and drop that they are eating the pets live was unreal.

Donald should be in the asylums not jail.

Walz is a teacher. He knows how to shut down nonsense.

I hope he has a whole box of chalk and throws a piece at Vance every time he gets out of line.

I normally don’t watch debates but the Harris/Trump one was entertaining. Not as entertaining as the last evening of the DNC conference, which was about as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Walz can handle Vance’s bu11$h1t. The more crap Vance spews the more it hurts Trump

The problem for Walz, and the Dems overall, is the bar for Vance is at the same height it was for Trump. Difference is Vance (probably) has enough tact to clear it. So while Walz will probably "win", Vance just needs to avoid lunacy and he'll be the media "winner".

Avoid lunacy? If he mentions half of the lunacy he’s been speeding lately, it’ll give Walz lots of ammo.

Vance is spreading lunacy, he just does it quietly. Trump is loud and a unhinged when he spreads the lunacy.

If Trump wins (he won’t) whoever erected that had better flee the country. Trump will come after them like a heat-seeking missile to have them indicted.
