This was JD Vance's test, and he fucking failed. Millions of people watching this debate know Trump lost that election, and JD couldn't even bring himself to acknowledge it. THAT is how weak he is in the wake of Trump's insanity. Walz may have had a bit of an awkward night, but as far as I'm concerned, this is the moment he won.

[EthisProtogen]

I love how his face expresses genuine disappointment that Vance refused to give an answer.

[fire--effect]

This exchange turned me into a Harris-Walz voter.

[Theros]

Vance never answered the question. What a weasel. Walz won by far.

[DanielKolbin]

If you can't admit defeat, you don't deserve to win.

[Theros]

The moderators should have asked him tough questions like this.

[alviverdeus]

Trump lost and couldn't take it like a man.

[niecylee]

WOW that was the most relevant moment I have seen in any of the interviews. Vance’s deflection was very telling .

[josepholeary]

Yes, and his "damning non-answer" was exactly like Raskolnikov in Crime and Punishment. "How pleasant to chat with you, Officer, about the philosophy of crime and suchlike." "To be sure, my good fellow, but, by the way, am I right in thinking that it was you who murdered the two women with your hatchet?" "Oh, what an idea! Let's discuss my brilliant future plans instead." "A damning non-answer." "But isn't it the kind of thing everyone does?"

[raytierra]

Hahahaha dumb answer. Cant face facts, no future for sure

[XhoowieX]

"You guys wanted to kick people off of Facebook..." crikey. That's not a criminal punishment, JD. It's not like being in prison. It's just a crappy little social media platform.

[RohARc]

5% voter reg. Purge since 2020 😂 sure it was all good

[Trumplostloltooweak]

[HaelHakim]

Why onl showings speech senator governor i mean the Democrat candidate that means this video is not fair, just, equitable, impartial and i hope the United States of America citizens are seeing all this

[carolinereidartist]

A damning non answer. The sole job of a VP is to certify an election

[TheRedneckprepper]
