Vance, Walz turn VP debate into a Midwest nice-off

After two presidential face-offs full of zingers and viral clapbacks, the two Midwestern running mates' debate was downright cordial — even with plenty of agreement on policy issues.

Nice change of pace. Both men treated each other with respect. I was honestly more pissed off with the moderators than either VP

Waltz was looking and acting very nervously during Vance replays. Vance cool, collected and w point. Waltz looked like nervous 'pusher' when running out of 'juice'. The best indicator of who was right.

Come to think of it that does make sense, Trump is a native New Yorker, no wonder he’s always been so rude

Respectfull debate ! 🎉🎉🎉 Real Americans 👏👏👏

For God's sake! How do you expect Waltz to win?!

OMG can we vote for these 2 guys! They seem to want to work together! We have been fighting each other for so long the lions are at our gate and are in our yard at this point!

Tim Walz looks weird! Tim Walz looks weird! Tim Walz looks weird! Tim Walz looks weird!

JD Vance is the first VP candidate running for office who doesn’t know who won the last Presidential election .. SMH … Still voting HARRIS/WALZ 2024 … Save Democracy / NO to Project 2025

Vance looked like a good lawyer, but with a very bad case. Please, vote using your intelligence and your common sense; you will vote BLUE, you will save yourself, you will save America and democracy... and the whole World will thank you.

Sorry Waltz your act was not good enough to beat Vance. Vance was brilliant

Walz own family won’t vote for him. Speaks volumes.
