1st amendment rights not withstanding, there has to be some legal remedy in any society against a pathological public liar like Trump. Without some kind of reform of US libel law to give people recourse against internet amplified public calumny like this the republic is doomed.

What makes it worse now is that he's now 78 years old...

It only gets worse from here

I know we are numb to it all, but this a vile thing to say. Vile.

and WTF is he talking about "make a deal within a week after the election" - In 10 seconds he had already lost the thread that this happened on his watch?

This debate is boring….

I was playing NCAA 25 and MLB the Show because I had OD'd on drama after the Lions and Tigers games.  Now i'm watching.   Meh...this won't change anything.

Walz is much stronger on domestic issues.   Vance creates ways to blame everything on Vice President Harris.

I do feel Walz is agreeing to much with Vance. I thought he had a missed opportunity on gun safety reforms to hammer home the difference. Walz's best answer has been on healthcare.

My hope is the agreeing thing works for people who arent as combative about politics as me. But i agree about the agreeing.

His new best answer was J6.

The Mike Pence line was just brutal... Brutal.

I wish it wasn't hidden in the back of the proceedings, but these debates are about viral moments and that was a good one

Should be on all the morning news shows. Ranks up there with the "You're no John Kennedy" to Dan Quayle

JD was conceived in a lab to appeal to DC pundits, so he's getting plaudits there. My issue is that he comes across too shifty, kinda like Ellis in Die Hard.

My wife laughed hard and then bugged me with a bunch of Die Hard quotes.

Oh yeah, Walz crushed it on J6. I jumped out of my seat and screamed with joy when he said there's a reason Mike Pence isn't on the stage tonight. That was a ****ing touchdown.

The resemblance to the type is just uncanny when you notice it.... and we know all those types.

Again, I think the pundits are going to give JD flowers tonight, and understand why... after all, these are the folks who couldn't see the forest through the trees in the John Fetterman-Dr. Oz debate! But objectively, there's a grain of inauthenticity that he gives off. It's a lot of the stuff that JD's supporters accuse Kamala Harris of, even (it makes sense that they are both lawyers by trade). Voters tend to like authenticity more, so it's possible that it looks more like a draw to viewers. 

Ultimately the debate won't matter much if at all though.... and he didn't look great in some of the bigger inflection moments of the debate (mike cut-off, January 6th)
