Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole “immigrants eating cats and dogs” thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out “Weird!” at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

    Does anyone think this “she’s the vice president, so why didn’t she implement these policies” thing convinces anyone?

      “You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know … morons.”

      Needed a response of “I don’t think you actually know what the Vice President does… The VP makes no policy decisions unless it comes up as a 50/50 tie in the Senate.”

      Probably some. People don’t realize the VP doesn’t have much power other than given by the president.

      Notice how Vance hasn’t said the word Biden.

      It does to the the fox viewers. I’m in the room watching this with one now. We’re both just saying “he’s right” back and forth after our guy talks.
