I will say, I'm enjoying this debate more than I thought I would, simply because the moderators seem competent and both debaters are behaving like actual adults, even if Vance is a makeup-wearing Yale-bot.

Lol.. number one export being top soil from flooding.
woohoo. walz brought up the bill and how its doing the things vance is suggested they are not doing. looking good.
but Trump isn’t actually going to work to make solar panels in the US or anywhere. This is a non answer that “they haven’t solved all the problems, so we should do nothing.”
Solar panels from China make “dirty” clean energy, while American fossil fuels create “clean” dirty energy.
Is he capable of answering a single question? This is just tedious.
Trump said blah, pls respond. Lol no, here’s what I imagine Kamala might do in some alternate reality.
"Our number one export cannot be topsoil" - Walz
That is a hell of a good line.
agreed he has had a nice steady heat up since it started and its getting good.
now vance is trying to make it that its the democrats who don't believe in climate change. His argument is ridiculous given the signature ombudsman bill.
It’s great that vance keeps heaping responsibility on Harris for events that happened while she was VP, events which were nothing a VP could affect.
Also, the world was “stable” under trump because tens of millions of people were dying from covid and the world was locked down. If trump wants to take responsibility for the covid virus, go for it.
Walz hitting his stride now
Walz pointing out that Trump jokes about big storms creating more beachfront property.
This is marketing word salad, which is all you can expect from someone like Vance.
Yeah, I honestly tried to follow his answer, and couldn't. It was delivered smoothly, and didn't mean anything.

This clown just going to pretend he’s a democrat for this answer?
Really, by getting rid of the EPA?
Vance isn't sounding quite as robotic now.
Ouch on calling other parts of the world dirty
"We're the cleanest economy in the entire world." What the fuck does that mean?
The US pollutes cleanly while other countries pollute in a dirty way. Carbon is pro-America.
woohoo. vance. lets just say its true carbon emissions cause global warming. lets just say.
Your running mate tried to refuse aid to natural disasters a few years ago to areas that didn’t rim him hard enough. Were you not paying attention?
Here we go. Thoughts and prayers.
Why does Vance look so airbrushed?
Because he's younger.
I think his suit is ill fitting. Maybe this is a Republican thing tho. Trump always wears suits that’s too big for him.
That was a weirdly meandering non-answer.
Vance trying hard to pull off Kamala’s faces from the last debate and only looking constipated.

first of all let me not answer the question and go off on a tangent.
Walz suddenly appears in the followup.
Yup. Keep going Walz, attack Trump over and over. That's all you need to do.
Walz looked a little nervous at first, but has settled in and is on target.
Walz pointing out that Trump does diplomacy by tweet.
Vance won that round. He's just a much more polished speaker/debater.
I disagree. Maybe a tie, which I feel is taken with trump/vance as a win as the expectation is they will do aweful. Vance is tangenting pretty bad now.
Yeah, although it was oddly close.
Ha, Walz didn’t just accuse trump of being an agent of chaos – he used YOUR words to point that out, idiot.
No one’s answering the question.
What is Vance talking about?
did vance just say he thought the american people don't know much about him or waltz???
Honestly this is an echo chamber and it gives you the idea that people are paying attention. Ask any rando walking down the street and they probably won't know them.
Yes.
I need Vance’s makeup artist
But seriously , why is he dodging the question?
Vance is... just not answering the question. His delivery is weirdly robotic.
He's almost literally doing the robot.
Vance has only been speaking for a few minutes and it already looks like he has robot hands.
His robot hands are really amusing me.
He’s not going to answer the question….
In the defense neither did or will
