    Being caught in a lie about Tiananmen and then rambling for minutes instead of admitting he lied is not "more sincere".

    No, they didn't. Here is the exchange from the transcript:


    JD Vance: ... Now, Governor Walz brought up the community of Springfield, and he's very worried about the things that I've said in Springfield. Look, in Springfield, Ohio and in communities all across this country, you've got schools that are overwhelmed, you've got hospitals that are overwhelmed, you have got housing that is totally unaffordable because we brought in millions of illegal immigrants to compete with Americans for scarce homes. ...
    ...
    MARGARET BRENNAN: ... And just to clarify for our viewers, Springfield, Ohio does have a large number of Haitian migrants who have legal status. Temporary protected status. Norah.
    ...
    JD VANCE: ... So there's an application called the CBP One app where you can go on as an illegal migrant, apply for asylum or apply for parole and be granted legal status at the wave of a Kamala Harris open border wand. That is not a person coming in, applying for a green card and waiting for ten years....
    ...
    MARGARET BRENNAN: Thank you, Senator.

    JD VANCE: That is the facilitation of illegal immigration, Margaret, by our own leadership. And Kamala Harris opened up that pathway.

    MARGARET BRENNAN:
    Thank you, Senator, for describing the legal process. We have so much to get to.

    TIM WALZ: Those laws have been in the book since 1990.

    MARGARET BRENNAN:
    Thank you, gentlemen. We want to have -

    JD VANCE:
    The CBP app has not been on the books since 1990. It's something that Kamala Harris created, Margaret.
    ...

    I don't see anywhere in there that the moderators agreed with his characterization that these people are "illegal immigrants". They decided to move on, after clarifying that these people have legal status. Vance didn't actually dispute that. He just expressed disapproval with the process of granting them legal status.

    There appears to be some disagreement with where that process originated. Walz contended that the rules allowing temporary legal status to be granted originated in 1990. Vance claimed it was created by Kamala Harris.

    I said they agreed with his description of the process. They said thank you for describing the process.

    I noticed that too. Vance's lies were more subtle esp in economics where he focused on messaging fears to the mid-lower income flyover crowd.

    That is the thing about a Two party country, the political spectrum has to be much wider than your far left and far right.......

    You don't get it.

    I didn't say he was more sincere - I said he comes across as more sincere and relatable than Vance for most people - and that is the case.

    Also - at this point any objectivity you have is long gone because you are deep in the social media death spiral of "New Right" content. Just like I would not expect an objective response from DD on political issues because of his deep dive into left wing content - I don't expect one from you, as you have unquestionably been severely influenced.

    Did he get caught in a lie and then ramble - yes or no.

    Hilarious.

    Walz got the date wrong switching June and August. That was one thing and is nowhere near the same as claiming Haitian immigrants are eating people's pets, or that Democrats favor killing babies after they are born, or claiming that you won an election that you lost, or any of the other far worse, more egregious, offensive lies Trump and Vance have told.

    You are absolutely free to harp on Walz for mixing up June and August.

    Of course you didn't even watch the debate and are only getting your information from idiots in the social media.

    He did.

    That has nothing to do with what I said though... and as usual, context is lost as well.

    School Shooters Distance Themselves From Tim Walz

    U.S. — After Minnesota Governor and U.S. Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz claimed he was friends with them in Tuesday night's debate, school shooters across the nation were quick to distance themselves from "that total weirdo."

    "Yeah, we weren't, like, friends or anything," said Vance Walberry, who attempted a school shooting in Minnesota in 1982 but was tackled by the high school quarterback. "He was kinda strange. Kept lurking around the boys' bathroom asking if anyone needed a tampon." Walberry shook his head. "We don't want anything to do with a freak like that."

    That was more of a "thank you for clarifying your position, let's move on" than "thank you, I agree".

    Serious question for Kamala voters, do you still think she made the right choice for VP? I was very upset when Trump chose Vance because I wanted Vivek or Rubio for VP but Vance has totally changed my mind. In fact I think he would be an outstanding presidential nominee...

    I actually liked the halfway civil debate and I was proud of both of them for shaking hands at the end with their spouses. For me I want to "relate" to a person and I can relate to Walz, he`s like my uncle, he might not always be right and he may have a gaffe or 2 but the man would give you the shirt off his back if you're in need no matter if he is your friend or not, its just who he is. When the right always harps about draining the swamp (yet they never do) its folks like Vance who is a slick ivy league lawyer who will LIE at his bosses' beckon call and who up until 4 years ago was telling us how bad trump was.......but lo and behold once maga took hold vance and friends changed their tunes................if you want to drain the swamp then vance and trump are literally the swamp. They lie and cheat for power and personal wealth.................but then again that's maga`s playbook, project exactly what you are doing and blame the other side for doing it hoping the maga sheep won't notice.

    For those of you who have already started to vote, I am jealous, I wish Texas had that, but Wheels and Paxton want to make it difficult to vote to try and stay in power......................again, more swampiness from the maga swamp

    Interesting that Trump is calling Walz … Tampon Tim … like Trump was still in junior high.

    I guess Trump’s name calling gives permission for other SCW wingnuts to join in with the name calling.

    I am not deep left, I am just DEEPLY against the GOP until they purge facism, I am for smaller government - but i want to get the rich and corporations to pay their fair share.....I would also cut military spending to balance the budget......

    I am left center at worst, but HATE the current GOP and their lying.

    There have been assassination attempts on Kamala?

    Why have Rs with assault rifles attempted to shoot the R Presidential candidate? Were they too dumb to not know Trump was in their tribe?
