      Nobody is. It just deflects from other important things going on in the world. Also, these media pieces are the cheapest and easiest to fill any void in the output schedule

      It isn’t that I’m worried about Walz. I’m worried about Vance gosh galloping out his sound bites and starting yet another round of racial violence.

      Walz might be the best person to counter it.

    Walz will do fine, the issue is that the bar is incredibly low for Vance.

    If he can stay on policy, not shit himself over the immigrants eating cats thing, he’ll over-perform.

      The bar for Vance is literally “repeat Republican lies and fear-mongering, but do it coherently.”

      Since he’s not gonna be fact-checked, that’s all he has to do.

        He won’t be fact checked by the moderators, that still leaves him open for Walz.

      the bar is incredibly low for Vance.

      Act vaguely human.

      Will he be able to pull it off?

    Republicans still haven’t found a counter for wholesome. And Vance certainly isn’t it.

    In the football coach’s game this is called “poor mouthing”. You talk down your team, can’t possibly handle their backs, etc, and then on game day you unleash the monsters of the midway.

      Back in reality, this is called emotional abuse and even if it works for the one game significantly deteriorates confidence on the long term.

    Vance only knows how to repeat talking points. All Walz has to do is honestly answer any question. That’s it. That’s all he has to do.

    "…I don’t see any way that he could match her level of intensity and humor,” said a Walz ally who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the governor.

    So don’t try. Go for down-to-earth, earnest, hard-working, straight-talking and honest.

    Glad to hear he’s working with Pete, I think that’s probably the perfect combo of midwestern sensibilities and savvy to disarm Vance’s Yale-trained style.
