Edit Impressive how a debate can go when one participant doesnāt have mental health issues! Thanks for coming everybody!
My take away is the same. That was more of a ādebateā than we have had in literal years.
I think walz did good. He held his ground and had some very solid jabs. He knows his roll as second man and backup and played it well.
Vanceā¦ did suprisingly well, and will definately be a threat in the future, based on his debate skills at least. This is practice for him regardless of how the election turns out. Experience is what he lacks, and the national stage will hone him over the next few years.
All in all, ill say no clear winner for the debate on face value. It was a show for the sake of the show. But ill absolutely be paying attention in the coming years. One scandal can sink vance, and if past gop tendancies are anything, there will be one. Walz is fairly bulletproof in that regard.
That was a good effort from both sides tbh.
