I am quite optimistic about tonight’s debate. I was encouraged to read that Pet Buttigieg was helping prepare; Buttigieg is one of the country’s best political communicators.

Tim Walz will come armed with memorable, devastating one-liners. If he keeps his head cool, he’ll ridicule Vance’s weirdness, and glue Vance-Trump to Project 2025. He’ll emphasize how un-American, undemocratic and damaging Project 2025 would be for America.

Equally devastating, Walz may highlight some of Vance’s most absurd lies. "They’re eating your pets!"

Even more devastating, I’m hoping Walz quotes the "old" JD Vance comparing Donald Trump to Hitler!

On a positive note, Walz can talk about his own record in Minnesota, presenting the great progressive policies he implemented as "good common sense". He can underscore the results. And he can talk credibly about the Harris-Walz proposals for "an opportunity economy".

PS. On the downside, it looks like CBS and its moderators are absolving themselves of any responsibility for fact-checking. However, a skillful moderator can anchor their questions in a facts-confirming reality!
