(9,707 posts)because any answer would demonstrate how poorly they understand how government actually works, esp anything to do with World and Trade Affairs. Trump's shoot from the hip, with no rational or reasonable knowledge of how anything works, destined countless farmers in the mid-west to bankruptcy with his Tariff on China during his soy bean bullshit .

(23,748 posts)problems in the US and the world. There are many people who fall for that kind of tactic which is why he used it.
Vance is a smoother, younger, more polished version of Trump in his ability to twist facts into lies. He was chosen to be Trump 2.0 and is fulfilling that role.

(12,117 posts)...but he's doing exceptionally well. He is a fantastic contrast to Vance I think will play well with blue-collar middle-class voters who may still be on the fence. My only suggestion would be to lean more on his time as Governor and the successes he's had there, but overall, he's doing very, very well.

With a glib and unabashed liar like Vance, they'e gotta do a little mini-fact-check, so they had to tee something up to aim at Walz.

(6,884 posts)either JD or Governor Walz that is a knockout punch. Which is fairly typical in a VP debate. It is mainly a "do no harm" debate and show that you are ready to step in if something happens to the president.
JD is feeding red meat to the MAGAidiots.
