In a recent blog post on AdvancingTime I explored the idea many people don't think it matters who a presidential candidate chooses as a running mate, but, it kinda does. This becomes even more important if they are up in age or in bad health. After witnessing the rapid decline of Joe Biden, the importance of who will step into the Oval Office if the need arises should be elevated.

[Moo-Ahhhhhh]

The bigger question is, will it change anybody's vote?

[Kojwills]

It was good to see both candidates actually debating in a civil manner. It sure looks like the media has been lying about Vance’s character.

Vance destroyed him 😂😂 and Im watching this from Australia and i have no horse in this race.😮😮😂😂

I didn’t watch it. No need to. I’m trying to buy a new car right now, trying to make a home purchase, and can’t seem to get out of the grocery store without spending an amount equal to my grandparents monthly mortgage payment. The facts of my reality speak for them selves. Trump and Vance all the way

When you start with, "Well, look...., "you know your guy sucked.

[kingofswing]

JD. he's good. Tim? Like Denzel said, "He coked-up all the MFin' time." I kept thinking of that Andy Samberg video "Great Day" as Tim stared with those deer-in-headlight eyes.

Vance did better than I thought and Tim Walz has been my governor here in Minnesota . I don’t think Walz is ready for the VP Role . I will be casting my vote for Trump

[lindahermstad]

[rukin]

You're not suppose to fact check me. 😂

Hey coach. That election was fair. Wanda from the DNC just went to jail for Taco Tuesday

[jezballs]

Tim had his back up against the "Walz" most of the night.

[wolfnorth]

Tim waltz cried for uncle all through the debate. That is the acttes gut feeling pick, the pair of Kamala and Tim are despicable.😮😮

[Tellmewhynow]

VANCE - first time I actively listened to a debater... he is personable and sensible. walz made a lot of faces - wiggling eyebrows were dist4acting

[TheNaturemama]

Nervous and no debate skills but sticking to the facts (Walz) vs arrogant with debate skills and lying repeatedly (Vance). Vote blue 💙

[beatrizgalvec]

Walz presented facts. Vance lied throughout the debate. Walz won the debate.
