[E. Pluribus Unum]

What an embarrassing puff-piece.

[turfmann]

I think Vance is going to destroy him.

[Paladin2]

He’s [Walz are closing in] is a Commie, Jim.

[Paladin2]

We all know who the Weirdo is....

[BenLurkin]

Mr. Vance should ask Walz about the smell of burning tires, and if it turns it on as much as it does his wife.

[SamAdams76]

The “weird” meme never stuck with Vance and in fact bounced right back on Walz, who is definitely the weirdest VP nominee we’ve had since Edmund Muskie.

[plain talk]

I would not underestimate Walz’s ability to generate soundbites for consumption by independents and undecideds.

I suspect we will all think Vance will mop the floor with the goofball. But Walz is off the wall and a bit of a wild card.

[dforest]

The CCP will be watching their boy Tampon Tim.

[God luvs America]

“exuding the Everyman appeal “

because the NYSlimes knows a lot about every man appeal

[metmom]

In their dreams.

Vance is going to destroy him in the debate.

[metmom]

I think they are setting the tone so later they can say they predicted his abominable showing as skilled debate tactics.

[Tell It Right]

I somewhat agree. Like you I think they’re lowering the expectations, but IMHO it’s so they can say that Tampon Tim did better than expected.

[metmom]

Yeah. There’s certainly some reason they are doing it. The left doesn’t do something for no reason, even if it doesn’t make any sense.

[No name given]

So do I.

[No name given]

Here’s hoping.

[Huskrrrr]

Just keep calling him Tampon Tim.

[Obadiah]

There have been recent news accounts stating that Waltz is fraught with fear at the prospect of facing Vance
in the upcoming debate. Now THAT story seemed to wreak as a fake plant story for the express purpose of trying to lower expectations for Waltz and indirectly trying to position Waltz as the David facing Goliath.

While I am completely confident in Vance, I have no doubt Waltz is a capable speaker. The only question in my mind is how the corrupt MSM will put their thumb on the debate scale.

[Luke21]

NY Times follows their endorsement of Kamala with a cheerleader piece for this con man clown.

[metmom]

They had a similar article about what they claim they learned about Vance’s old debates.

They are definitely setting the atmosphere and trying to shape people’s expectations and opinions beforehand.

[HIDEK6]

Before he was known to the nation as an affable Midwestern dad …

Oh, God.
