Waltz really just needed to say "I goofed." And moved on. That was embarrassing.

I'm enjoying the fact that CBS brought receipts about Vance's past statements about Donald Trump.
OMG. Walz just fumbled.
Yeah that was rough. I wish he just answered the question the first time.
I’m a knucklehead at times.
Girl, same.
I love the way vance/trump likes to take credit for the economy they inherited and then blew up just as they left. if, satan forbid, trump got in again any successes will be on the coattails of biden. my devil it still drives me nuts what he did with interest rates which is a dead simple thing for a president to do, which is not to pressure or interfere with the fed.
How is it Kamala Harris's policies!? She's not the president! How much power does Vance think the Vice President wields!?
Trump WAS president. He didn't fix anything.
He doesn’t. This is how they are dealing with not running against Biden. Just playing pretend.
Vance is trying really hard to convince people they're getting paid better than they did before Trump.

Venture Capitalism! Name the monster.
hey so if vance/trump is going to have things done here instead of overseas why did trump not get that done when he was president. this is the problem (well outside all the others) with his campaign. He had his time at bat and he did not do any of these things.
"Were not going to fix this listening to experts, we need to listen to common sense." - Running mate of the old man yelling about immigrants eating pets.
I don't think the experts Walz was talking about and the "experts" Vance is talking about are the same experts.
lol what “experts” said that? You mean greedy business executives? Pretty sure they aren’t considered experts.
"You say trust the experts, but experts are wrong sometimes and Trump thinks with his gut brain and also I have kids." -- Vance
Lol

Cutting both their mics was great. I want more of that, please.
Oh shit, Tim just sunk JD's battleship.
Walz Pro Tip of the Day!
There’s the attack on intelligence by dismissing PhDs by basically calling them stupid and replacing intelligence with “common sense”, feels before reals.
The “experts” said shipping jobs overseas would save Americans money?
That wasn’t experts, that was business lobbyists and CEOs who wanted higher profits.
oh snap. walz pushing back on anti expert rhetoric from the right.
Great point from Walz on trusting experts.
I think this is how the evening is going to go. Vance simply won't directly answer any questions.
vance. those economic experts have PhD's but they don't have common sense.
In order to believe this, you have to buy the idea that those PhDs are always wrong and Trump is always right.
Vance, that's Congresses job not the vice presidents
Economics experts have PhDs don't have common sense?
Does this moron think the VZp is a god in the system? Why didn’t trump do these things when he was president???
I was unaware that the vice president directly controls food prices.
Little known legal jargon deep in the Constitution.
Do people actually believe the Vice President can single handily pass legislation?

housing is up 60%?!?
Does anyone think this "she's the vice president, so why didn't she implement these policies" thing convinces anyone?
Needed a response of "I don't think you actually know what the Vice President does... The VP makes no policy decisions unless it comes up as a 50/50 tie in the Senate."
It does to the the fox viewers. I'm in the room watching this with one now. We're both just saying "he's right" back and forth after our guy talks.
“You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know … morons.”
He keeps beating that drum as well. It was will planned
Probably some. People don't realize the VP doesn't have much power other than given by the president.
Notice how Vance hasn't said the word Biden.
The way this evening is going for Vance:
MODERATOR: [DIRECT QUESTION]
VANCE: "I'm going to talk about something completely different now."
The MAGA technique
"You said you wouldn't call me out on my bullshit!" - JD
Dude, you admit to lying about stuff.
