[LIVE] 1 OCT 2024 CBS Vance-Walz Vice-Presidential Debate Thread

[SMTA]

Like Kamala, Walz started nervous, but he's getting comfortable. Let's go!

Yup

 

[Chomsky]

He's calming down.

Just like his running mate.

 

[SMTA]

Vance on rebuttal now too, pretty sound.

This might be a good debate!

Nope, Vance ignored Trump walking away from Iran during his administration

 

[beefheart]

Vance won't address climate change, just silly consiracy.

 

[Chomsky]

I didnt. He's speaks well tho.

That's a fair point. He speaks very well, I think.

 

[SMTA]

Liar. Donald Trump does not support clean air and clean water.

 

[Allan]

Vance is doing well

He is.

 

[Geoist]

Vance on climate change: "weird science" goddamn he is insufferable.

 

[Lursa]

Climate change is not water and air pollution

And now he wont even admit climate change is real and is PROPOSING producing MORE energy....from the US, which is still mostly fossil fuels. Moron.

 

[BrotherFease]

I don't understand Vance's response.

 

[NJBob]

Hoax, more beachfront property

 

[MaryP]

I do now. Someone just PMed me and after a little investigation I found out that indeed it's parody.

It's fooling a lot of people on Twitter.

Fooled me, too.

 

[Allan]

Walz is killing it on climate change.

 

[Along Came Jones]

Yes he did. And Vance didnt. And intentionally used up the time introducing himself.

The view from Katie Rogers/NYT live
In Walz’s somewhat halting first answer, he appeared to confuse Israel and Iran twice, at one point referring to “Israel and its proxies.” He turned to attack Trump and did not answer the question.

We hear what we are tuned to hear, I suppose.

 

[Mach]

I don't understand Vance's response.

Yeah it's just a bunch of nonsense that they think sounds good strung together with a few words that makes it seem on topic.

 

[Bodecea]

There's a few pubs that have publicly declared Vance kicked Walz ass already. It happens.

Satire account, sorry.

 

[Allan]

Hoax, more beachfront property

Trump said it. It's on video.

 

[Gozaburo]

Holy shit Walz is awful so far.

Vance is a skinsuit lizardman but he clearly comes across as higher IQ despite being totally unrelated in any non-intellectual arena.

 

[Lursa]

Walz does better when he gets rolling.

Vance is a good speaker.

 

[Chomsky]

Vance is IMO the better speaker, but Walz is doing O.K. in his folksy manner.

I think we're seeing what we thought we might see, without any Vance craziness (as of yet).

 

[NJBob]

Vance won’t speak to the hoax

 

[ScrambledEggs]

It's funny how respectful and policy driven this debate is

 

[Bodecea]

This Tweet is still up and he's being mocked mercilessly about it. Here's his excuse...

Satire, no such Representation.

 

[Geoist]

If I had a nickel for every time Vance said, "Look, what the president meant/said..."

 

[ALiberalModerate]

Vance is doing well and Walz is doing good enough so far.
