People prioritize different things. Being “smooth” isn’t necessarily one of them. I’m sure every American who was in debate club in high school thought Vance won; thankfully they don’t make up a huge chunk of the electorate! Walz did good enough; not great, but good enough, which is all he needed to do.

If anything it’s proof that a lot of Americans are *not* on board with the substance of the Trump platform.
I was in debate club and if I judged it, I would have probably judged it a tie(Vance blatantly lying about abortion is a huge nono because it's so easily refuted)
The polls basically calling it a tie is imo a plus for Walz(there was a definite lowering of expectations thing going from the Walz side and that worked to Walz advantage in the end)
This makes me feel more relaxed. I thought Walz did terrible and looked like Joe Biden. But then, the polling says it was a tie. You’re right. I am a very direct, snappy and not cordial person when debating an issue. It’s not that I want combat, I just don’t like bs’ing and I can factually tear down someone’s opinion in a very educated manner very quickly. But, then I look like an asshole. Walz gave a lot of grace that I would not have.

Vance's whopper on the ACA was his most audacious moment of the night IMO.
That is true but imo the abortion lying is just so far beyond the pale(but you have a great point)
If only debate judges got to judge the debate.

He was nowhere near as confused, sometimes incoherent and quiet as Biden.
