(Edited) - I'd love to hear thoughts about the debate. Any specific answers from Vance that surprised you? What topics weren't covered that you wish would have been?
Have you found any good salty tears from social media?

Vance did great. However, I wish he would have mentioned the flaws in the Senate border bill S4361 that Walz kept praising. Republicans liked the House Bill HR2, which actually tightened border security. Democrats wouldn't vote for that bill. The Senate Bill weakens border security over all. It funds the transportation of migrants to our cities and expedites processing into our country. It also provided more money for Ukraine. The details of the bill need to be explained every time Kamala and Walz accuse Trump of squashing it just to keep his talking point.
Also, I was surprised Vance didn't debunk the Project 2025 connection to Trump.
I wish politicians would quote statistics about lives saved because guns deter crime. The lives saved are bigger than lives lost.
The part that made me sick was the accusation that Trump asking Pence to send the 2020 election back to Congress was illegal. This would have been a perfect time for Vance to quote the Electoral Act and finally get normies to understand that contesting states, showing evidence for 2 hours per state, then sending the matter back to Congress WAS the legal remedy. The democrats benefited when the session was halted. Pelosi called the special session in which she did not allow any states to be contested or any evidence shown. Trump's supporters were there to show their congressmembers that we wanted them to contest the stolen states. The riot started immediately after AZ was contested and ruined our Constitutional path to remedy. I wish Vance had mentioned all of this.
About the accusations that Trump tried to overturn the election, I wish Vance would have mentioned that Trump is being prosecuted for that phonecall with Raffensberger, but Trump was reading straight off an audit of SOS's website, listing the tens of thousands of illegal registrations. I do realize he cannot bring up all the evidence of voter fraud. I would have loved to hear this much at least, and maybe quote the law allowing an alternate slate of electors.
I wish he would have mentioned the voter registration conflicts in AZ. On the leaked phone call, Hobbs and the AG stated the inaccurate registrations do make the 2020 and 2022 elections contestible. Yet, the AG is prosecuting election officials for doing their jobs (deciding whether or not to certify the election).
I do think he could have brought up how all democrats voted against the bill that would have required proof of citizenship to register to vote. They also sue to prevent states from trying to clean up the voter rolls. Why? And CA just passed the law prohibiting election workers to require ID from the voters. I would have loved to hear Walz answer to those democrats policies.
Over all, though, Vance had a great debate. He showed us his likeable, compassionate side and made a lot of sense. He showed wisdom and leadership while still being kind and humble.
Hugely important point, thank you. I didn't know much about this bill Walz kept praising and really wanted Vance to speak to it. Thank you for this!
