So, in essence, Vance is a maker, Walz is a taker! Makes sense!
Educators are the makers of makers fool.
@@astronautical1082 Historically yes but i know far to many "College professors" which never actually worked in there field. They graduate and become a professor which now you have someone that has never learned a skill or used in practice now teaching it. so yes its Fools making Fools.
@@ryan85208 No, that is precisely what republicans want to do with education so that they can exclude such facts as climate change, racism, and unflattering history.
America First! Parents Rights! Energy Independence! World Peace! An American identity over an ethnic identity! A low cost of living and a high quality of life! No transcare for minors you have to be 18! Trump/Vance 2024!
Just at the handshake you can see JD was going to win!!
Yes, and DJT is actually a genius disguised as an idiot.
On style, Vance was clearly more polished than Walz, and he likely accomplished what he set out to do - appear more rational and agreeable than Donald Trump and, frankly, himself. But there’s a real question about who the real Vance is. He was once a Trump critic, who became one of Trump’s biggest cheerleaders. Since that transformation, he’s gotten a reputation as a hard-charging MAGA partisan willing to take on all comers, known for making controversial statements, whether about “childless cat ladies,” not caring what happens to Ukraine “one way or another” or propagating false claims about immigrants eating pets.
Vance also did a lot of laundering of Trump’s positions, especially on health care, child care and Jan. 6. Because Republicans have an inherent advantage on the cost of living in this election, his strongest moments were when he questioned why Kamala Harris hasn’t brought down prices already as part of the administration and implemented some of the things she’s promising to do if elected president.
Some will see Vance’s performance Tuesday night as a more focused version of Trump. Others will see him as something of a chameleon.
Walz got off to a shaky start. He was asked at the beginning about foreign policy, which is clearly not his strong suit. He had some awkward pauses and misspoke (saying he’s “friends with school shooters,” for example, when he appeared to mean families of victims of school shootings).
Walz seemed to find his footing, though, on domestic issues, like dealing with hurricanes, climate change, abortion rights and, somewhat surprisingly, in an exchange on immigration, which is generally one of the weaker areas for Democrats. Walz effectively painted Trump as uninterested in solving the problem of immigration because he blocked a bipartisan border security bill. Walz also aimed to isolate Trump as the problem - even saying he thinks Vance wants to find a solution to the issue. Vance’s comeback was to say that Harris is inauthentic and a newcomer to a harder line on immigration. Both campaigns will be happy with those lines of attack.
In addition to foreign policy, Walz was weakest in his response to questions about his time in China. Walz has said he was in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests, which took place in the spring of 1989. Minnesota Public Radio and others have reported that he didn’t actually travel there until later in the summer.
In place of trusting traditional sources of knowledge, Trump has played to cultural grievance, telling people there are simple solutions to complex problems - like suggesting tariffs will pay for child care, which they will not. Vance embraces this line of thinking and says voters should trust Trump over others. Giving the example of conventional wisdom about the global economy, Vance said, “For the first time in a generation, Donald Trump had the wisdom and the courage to say to that bipartisan consensus, ‘We’re not doing it anymore.’ “
That exposes one of the biggest issues in America: People don’t agree on a shared set of facts. People have their own ideologies and are finding others who affirm what they believe - whether Trump or posts on social media - rather than having their minds changed by contrary evidence.
Sowing distrust in experts lends more credence to conspiracy and makes it harder to bridge divides.
Moderators can only fit so much into a debate, but there were some things that have gotten attention in this campaign that weren’t brought up - some of which involve the vice presidential candidates directly.
Vance wasn’t asked, for example, about his 2021 comments about “childless cat ladies” that have drawn so much controversy.
Walz didn’t have to account for his military record timeline or his misstatements on carrying weapons of war. Vance wasn’t asked about his “stolen valor” accusations about Walz’s service, either.
Partisans on both sides will have arguments for why their guy did well at certain times and not as well at others in the first and only vice presidential debate Tuesday night between Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz.
