He wasn't sharp, but it doesn't really seem any different from how he's been at the rallies. That's just kind of his persona at this point. To be honest, it almost comes across as if he wasn't well prepared, but that really shouldn't have been the case.
On the other hand, I've been saying for months that Vance is fucking excellent and is absolutely "our guy". He's less confrontational than Vivek, but where Vivek has some questionable background, Vance has been absolutely nailing everything so far.
Frankly, we need a VP debate. Vance will fucking destroy Waltz. I don't think anybody realizes just how good Vance is. Best of all, he's going on CNN and crushing them to their face.
Yeah, I think the VP debate is what will really make or break a lot of this election. Vance doesn't seem like the type to pull punches and he will make sure to drag Harris into every answer he has to shit all over her on top of Waltz.
He is why I don't really have a lot of concern over Trump's decline, or even being shot at again. Vance is everything people wanted from Trump and more, and isn't bogged down by age, a history, or a "stuck in his ways" old man mindset. And I think the Left knows that, so they'll try to keep Trump in the forefront to obscure Vance as much as possible.
Sorry, I think I may have thrown you off with what I meant by 'need'. Perhaps 'we need' is far to strong. I meant, I need. As in, "I'd love to see it*. I don't actually think the VP debate will do much beyond win a few undecided, demoralize the dems, and legitimize Vance among the dissident right.
I disagree. I think Vance is a strong enough voice right now that he can make the VP debate into something people watch. He is gaining popularity on the Right and getting a lot of "heel heat" with the Left, which Trump can't do anymore because TDS burn out has hit normies quite hard.
And if people are watching he has a strong chance to bring up a lot of the big issues right now, trannies, illegals, economy, and show that Waltz (and Harris) has contributed to that problem hard. Which I think will do more than nothing in terms of swaying the middle ground.
I agree that people will like watching Vance, I just think that the majority of "undecideds" at this point will probably not watch it anyway, and if they do most will watch their preferred meme reporters, and make a decision on that.
I think Vance might be our best shot to hit "disaffected current Left "liberals"" take a red pill and question what they've been told.
I've been very surprised in my very red area how many times I've seen rabid Harris supporters. Just today I saw a "I'm a veteran, not a sucker or loser" sign. That guy literally has no concept of anything outside the Leftist media ecosphere. I think that the propaganda has had a real effect on activating the Left, much more than Biden did. The group-think is real and effective. I think the best Vance can do is blunt that a bit.
