JD Vance squared off in a largely civil and substantive vice presidential debate where the candidates focused most of their attacks on their opponents’ running mates and not each other.

Now we know why teacher Tim bragged he never had a student went to Yale...a Yale graduate is too smart for him😂.

I prefer Trump over Kamala, but i like Waltz more than Vance.
