 Honestly JD Vance is crushing this debate.

He’s fact-checking the moderators as they “fact check” him.

He’s staying on message talking about issues that Americans actually care about (the economy, illegal immigration, etc.)

He’s calling out “experts” for being full of shit. 

He’s calling out Walz for his debate tactics.

He doesn’t fall for the moderator’s bait. 

It’s honestly weird to see a politician appear mildly competent in a debate these days… 
 To clarify, I trust him as far as I can throw him… I am specifically commenting on his debate performance, which I believe is solid. 
 Appreciate the clarification, feel the same way 😅 
 He’s also actually directly answering the questions asked 
 It’s a fucking revolutionary concept these days… 
 Questioning the PHDs was perfect. Moderators are incredibly biased. 
 Like a millennial wrecking ball… 
 From right before the debate. OG calls in

 That is one based 94 year old. 
Speaking truth 
 I wonder how many people's votes are actually swayed by a vice-presidential debate.

Well, I guess for Trump it matters a little more lol 
 I like both of these VPs better than their running mates. Not enough, though. Fuck these choices! 
 💯 didn’t expect this 
 Haven't watched it yet but will tomorrow for sure 😊
