Why are they just fact checking one side? Journalism is so dead.
JD Vance🤩
27:06 Hey Waltz, you dont need a solution if you dont mess up in the first place.
"Thank you for explainging the legal process" the CP1 app is not the legal way. Smh thats crazy.
22:16 wow abc trying to twist what vance said saying he accused Kamala of using children as drug mules was just wow
In God We Trust 🇺🇸🙏🏻🙌🏻
Harris administration???? Hmmmm
I would never vote for Trump/Vance. Vance is delusional clown when he said that we're shipping job and use "slave labor" and we shouldn't be manufacturing products over sea in a country that hates us. Really a country that hates us? It was more US that hates China. US is the one the create the enemy out of China and now you're saying China hates you? That's BS. And no there is no slave labor in China…that was maybe long time ago…the fact that he still use slave labor today shows he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Tim Walz will be the US Vice President come Nov 2024 election! God bless America! Yeshua ❤ You! Amen.
JD Vance smoked walz
I actually really liked this debate because of how very civil it was and the fact that there was no name calling and non of that overall great debate!
The biggest reason we are all crazy today is America’s diet, social media & No accountability.
JD Vance held it down! Trump Vance 2024!! 🇺🇲
Hands down the most civil and respectful debate we have had. Made me gain respect for both canidates.
Cutting the mic when they actually start debating the real issue because that’s the part the media tries to keep secret
Sorry Vance immigrants can not afford houses try again.
Loved this debate
So a few things;
Easily the most civil debate over the past decade. Harkens back to the debates of the 2000’s. Enjoyable to watch and informative to listen to.
While Tim Waltz talks sense JD Vance did incredible here at maintaining both confidence and composure and I think absolutely nailed his talking points. Very skilled speaker and orator.
The moderators really should have no say in the debate asides from asking questions. Attempting to fact check and silence the candidates stops them from fact checking and engaging each other and is a dis service to the viewer from witnessing a thorough debate.
This should hold more weight than most vice presidential debates given the majority of Americans on either side of the political spectrum are tired of being given subpar presidential candidates trying to win voters by baselessly slandering the other and attempting to gain merit on things other than than political issues that matter to everyday Americans. Namely playing on the divisiveness of modern social bigotry, biases, and ultimately appealing to the lowest common denominator of voter among both parties.
I voted against Trump this year but wow this is biased. So much for not "fact checking"
Finland doesn’t allow millions into their country. How is your priority to your kids and not the constitution, as an elected member / representative of the United States???
Where in that oath does it say to do this? Hmm must have missed that!
Biden has proven to the world that his words are utterly worthless.
“Let me say again: to any country, any organization, or anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation, I have one word: Don’t.”
“If Iran attacks Israel, it will have severe consequences.”
Yet, there are countless empty quotes that lead to nothing!
Where are you, Biden? Enough with the empty rhetoric!
Time keeping is not fare is it? Tim talks much longer than Vance without cbs interruption
Tim Walz is obsessed with soybean and corn production, 2 of the worst food products we have- that should tell you a lot.
He exposed that app CBP1 and they were in a rush to shut him up I heard him even after his mic was turned off
Red is 👍 👍👍👍
Vance feeling the need to fully introduce himself is… amusing to say the least.😂
V
many of the questions appeared to challenge the republican party and not many challenged the democrat party but Vance did a very good job at replying to all of the moderators questions. Walz did pretty well too. It was a good debate where the candidates were respectful to each other.
Young Trump vs. young Biden.
What im most surprised is that the first question is not about america but about israel. Is this israels presidential debate? Who is actually running your country is it really americans? Are you americans really the priority of your leadership?
This debate is a million times better than the presidential one
I'm hearing EVERY democrat suggesting Walz is a better candidate than Harris!😂🤣😂 True…..and that should scare the h3ll out every democrat!!
Even Walz called out the “fact check” overstep…. lol
Biased cbs sucks
Crazy to see that they arent up there TRYING to hate each other. I feel like if Walz could stop talking about Trump and stay on topic he'd be more likeable. I understand that that is technically his opponent, but it comes across as beating Trump being more of a priority than anything else he talks about.
Another 3 vs one but red team still killing it.
