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 ā€œimmigrants eating cats and dogsā€ thing.

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

Expect Walz to roll out ā€œWeird!ā€ at least once.

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

    I will say that I worry about Vance as a candidate when heā€™s no longer directly tied to Trump and his madness. Heā€™s the face of non-truth leading to fascism.

      Yeah. His biggest handicap is he has to spend half the time trying to explain and defend whatever bullshit Trump says. If he didnā€™t have that burden on him, he can smooth talk his way into power.

      This is it exactly.

      If Trump was kicked off the ticket this would be a terrifying election, 2028 already looks like doomsday.

      Fucker was way the hell too smooth.

      JD Vance overperformed here.

      JD Vance is really setting himself up to be the future of the post-Trump Republican party.
