Yes sir!!
Elections are about snapshots and sound bites. - Dan Bongino
I guarantee the Trump Vance ticket has gotten plenty of those tonight.
I completely agree and it’s refreshing. I think they are both doing really well. Vance had some great points and so did Walz. I agree Vance did better than Walz in this debate. Azz kicking. C’mon man.
HOWEVER, they both have repeatedly said we are a democracy at least 20 times. That is obviously a disqualifier as HDE and a few others here say we are not a democracy but rather a constitutional republic. In everyday speak a distinction without a difference. ROTFLMAO. Read a Jr High civics book…for once.
I thought Tim Walz did a good job and I agree he was far more Presidential than Kamala Harris could ever dream of being. I disagree with him on a number of policies but I thought he came across well and I found him to be very gracious tonight.
If Donald Trump had performed 1/4 as well as JD Vance did tonight this election would be a Reaganesque rout; JD disagreed with Tim Walz many times tonight but never once did he disparage or disrespect him; he showed what politics should be; civil, respectful debate on policy with the only goal being providing the best governance the American people deserve.
I'm glad I watched the whole debate.
Waltz did well enough, clear he's a rookie on national stage however. Neither did any harm, Vance may have helped Trump
We are a Constitutional Republic, for you KS:
"What is a Constitutional Republic A constitutional republic is a form of government in which the head of the state, as well as other officials, are elected by the country’s citizens to represent them. Those representatives must then follow the rules of that country’s constitution in governing their people. Like the U.S. government, a constitutional republic may consist of three branches – executive, judicial, and legislative – which divide the power of the government so that no one branch becomes too powerful."

Vance's performance came as no surprise to me as I have seen him speak live twice. He is quick, witty, and extremely smart. Nothing like the "weird," women hating ogre the media and the Harris campaign has tried to make him out to be.
Even the talking heads at CNN said Walz was in over his head.
Yes we are. Never said we weren’t. You missed the read a Jr High civics book part.
Vance won in a landside -its a damn shame these two aren't running for President
Classic shiny object syndrome.
HEY...LOOK OVER HERE!!
LOL

Why not drill on Federal lands or build on some lands that are little pieces that aren't being used? The Feds have lots of empty buildings and warehouses that can be converted to housing. I remember seeing a Stossel program showing some federal warehouses filled with junk that will never be used that was rotting away. As for drilling, my friend owns 5000 acres in Colorado and once the gas line right aways were put in the Elk population and other wildlife flocked to those areas. If done right it can be a plus all around.
CNN's @ScottJenningsKY on the #VPDebate: "It's pretty clear Vance outclassed Walz tonight. I mean, I was watching this and all I could think of was -- man, Walz is so in over his head. I mean, can you imagine this guy sitting in the White House Situation Room with that facial expression that's like 50% sheer terror and 50% extreme bafflement?
I mean, it was amazing the split-screen difference between a competent Vance and a totally in over his head, Walz. The answer on why he lied about his trips to China and the Tiananmen Square thing was probably the worst VP debate meltdown since Stockdale in '92, you know, 'who am I and why am I here?' It was two-and-a-half minutes of absolute terrible. For Vance, night of redemption. All the political media has told us that Vance was a terrible pick and Walz was going to bring in all these voters. That charade is now over. Walz does not belong at this level of American politics. Vance does.
Final verdict? Tim Walz wandered into the wrong bar tonight."
Not sure how anyone who may have listened to him speak, in the many interviews he has done since becoming the VP candidate, would have been surprised."
I'm not sure how anyone with a minimum level of reading comprehension skills could possibly have missed what followed:
" As I've heard him in interview after interview, almost always with less than friendly media I've gotten very comfortable with him. He doesn't dodge questions and he has shown an incredible knack for turning the tables on the media and exposing their bias; tonight he gave a master class in that."
" The only surprised ones would be those who only tune in to the mainstream propaganda machine."
If only you could point to any comment in my post about JD Vance surprising me last night....if only.
As a rule it's a lot less likely to put one's foot in one's mouth if assumptions are avoided; I glean information from a variety of sources and almost never take the mainstream media at face value; it's why I checked out quite a number of interviews and quickly ascertained that once again, the mainstream media had it 100% wrong on JD Vance.
In the future if you have any doubt about something I've posted please be so kind as to do us both a favor; ask for clarification.
Geez.

This entire interview is well worth the listen but this part addresses that nicely.
Appreciate the response and major props and respect to you. I'm just as prone to the occasional stepping in it myself so I understand it happens. We're good and I like where the Trump/Vance ticket is after JD's debate performance.
The ultimate "value" of the VP to many voters is "can I see this person as POTUS?" I believe a lot of voters feel a lot more comfortable about JD Vance now and I think he'll only add to that comfort level. The more I hear him speak the more he impresses me.
"Why not drill on Federal lands or build on some lands that are little pieces that aren't being used"
I haven't a problem with drilling on Federal lands, but I do have a problem of housing on Federal lands...

That’s a lot better than the democrats wet dream of millions of acres of green solar energy. Why that is even debatable is beyond me. Yet, you gotta give the lingering BHA cronies a thumbs up for showcasing the cause. SMH.
It also showcases the ignorance of not knowing the intent and reason for the bureau of land management and the national forest.
I’m not going to do this again because it’s a lot of typing. Arrownoob, research it. It’s important and will hopefully explain why building houses on what used to be “federal land” isn’t anything but a result of the intent of the BLM. Unless you think it’s more important to keep the citizens of this country, from utilizing resources off lands that were classified and categorized, to supply resources to the citizens of this country. Which from your posts, I think you are fine with that.
If all works out well, that is exactly what will happen in 2028.
I sure hope...
I tend to agree with Vance being the POTUS candidate, but what would Trump bring to the table as VP? Not much, IMO.
The only questions he handled less-than-perfect were the 2020 Election question (why is it so hard to just say that Biden was declared the winner, but we just don't think he won fairly).... and the climate change question (would be better to say that we spent trillions so far and didn't improve the temperature one damn degree, and its a fools errand as the US could go to ZERO carbon and the global levels would still be unchanged because China and India are both increasing carbon output!).
I totally agree it's been that way for as long as I can remember before the words "Global Warming" was ever invented, and yet those countries do nothing to change, but you won't hear any lefties or our government bring that up, "it's all our fault", just ask a green weenie... Worldwide carbon output ain't ever gonna stop and if it actually causes climate change is debatable... Nuclear winter fallout will kill us all before current climate change will...
I think JD did the best he could on the subject, a lot more presidential than I would have spoke...8^)
Not sure if I’m voting Republican early…or Republican on election day…or both.
:)
