My 2 cents?

Walz was impeccable. Vance was transparently disingenuous and dishonest.

If I'm being objective.

Waltz was great on tone and substance. So proud! Sent him $$!

Vance was very passive and sounded like a robot that was programmed to tie anything bad to Harris. He’s a slimy and polished politician I’ll give him that.

when Tienanmen square happened.

Vance blamed the media then congress for his flip flops about tsf.

If I was grading, I wouldn’t grade on a traditional A-F scale. Walz gets a G for genuine and Vance an S for sleazy.

But he seemed better about halfway through. He also stopped rushing so much. He did good.

One suggestion I would make is that he relax his face some.

I'm sure he's dealt with a lot of punks just like JD Vance.

I was not worried a bit about this debate.
