After voters commented that the debate was more of a presidential debate than a real presidential debate, it was clear that Senator JD Vance posed a danger to Donald Trump, the 78-year-old candidate who is in poor health and faces a sentence for 34 felony convictions.
“(F) from a group of Trump-to-Biden voters after yesterday’s debate: JD Vance is competent and wise, but people aren’t sure if they trust him (or Trump). They think Walz is okay, but he’s clearly out of the zone comfortable. People really like the debate: “It’s more of a presidential debate than a presidential debate,” said Sarah Longwell, a longtime Republican strategist who runs Bulwark and runs a focus group.
We have to note that the voters are happy with the “relative” normality of the debate. People who attack childless cat ladies and lie about their own constituents until schools in their district have to be closed due to bomb threats are not normal and we shouldn’t pretend to be.
Voters have regularly said this about the vice presidential debate, which is especially contrasted with the presidential debate destroyed by Trump’s Gish galloping lies, gaslighting, and general rhetoric and sometimes physical thugs.
The Bulwark wrote (this note is conservative), “I doubt Vance did anything useful to help Trump’s election prospects. But they are actually helping their own prospects for 2028, or 2032, or whenever Trump is leave the scene. Or pushed.”
Exactly.
And another, “Actually, Vance is so good that I think this debate could be a case of catastrophic success. Because tomorrow many people at Conservatism Inc. will be talking about how Vance is the post-Trump savior we’ve been waiting for.”
I wonder what Donald Trump would think about this?
Yes, this is it. JD Vance is a fascist who can’t pull himself together, but he’s great when he slips more than his original connections. So far, Last thinks JD Vance won the debate, and while I agree that he could be better than when dealing with real people, he’s outdone himself by refusing to say he’ll certify that Trump loses and for the time being. , Tim Walz gives America a dose of normal realness and down-to-earth reality they have been craving after eight years of Trump.
If we give Vance this debate, it’s because he lies about so many things and hides the creepy things he says on conservative podcasts. However, he also refused to say that Trump lost in 2020 and that shows a lack of courage.
Voters in CNN’s instant poll said there was no clear winner, and they were right. There is no clear winner, but there is one candidate who has canceled himself out.
But in the world of MAGA and in the world of conservatives, is Vance the champion we want? Is he, with two years of experience, a man easily used by the elites, but better yet, younger than Trump? Perhaps.
Of course, Vance couldn’t get into the White House by himself. Vance is more unpopular than Sarah Palin.Â
When Trump sees his reaction to Vance getting better than his own debate reaction, can he stop criticizing Vance? Trump has shown little discipline over his emotions, so it’s unlikely. But they need Vance to get to the White House, so they’ll know how to neutralize Vance after the election if they win.
Vance will do what Pence didn’t, which is to overturn the will of the people and pretend Trump won an election he lost without question. Vance is Project 2025 without the chaos and distractions of Trump, something Vance can hide from the public at night.
But the question is, if the elites behind Project 2025 and the Republican Party want a post-liberal, anti-democratic agenda, Vance is the man. It is not about to consider that they use Trump for populism and charisma, in order to install the Trojan Horse of JD Vance.
