Underworld,

Objectivity must defeat rose tinted impartiality. partisanship without question.

You might be having a number of doubts, surely?

Some of your questions, Donald Trump might need to reflect upon in future quiet contemplation.

Yeah, because that's what Trump does - he reflects and quietly contemplates things... ROTFL

The Ripper!

That is not the case at all. Voters find Walz the most trustworthy of all the candidates.

I feel bad for voters who trust someone that touted he was in Hong Kong when in fact he was in Nebraska.

Being a few months off for a trip that occurred 35 years ago? I'd be inclined to give him a break.

lincolnman,

Some of your questions, Donald Trump might need to reflect upon in future quiet contemplation.

Viewing the JD Vance/Tim Walz debate a number of times.

Vance level of preparedness, subject knowledge, careful theatrical pauses, his smooth delivery almost instinctive, is a product of dogmatic, hour upon hour focused scheduled coaching sessions.

Vance patience belies intent, ambition, resolve beyond this November 5th US election.

‘Beware the Ides of March’........You too JD?

His relatives have actively come out against him.

His superiors in the National Guard have denounced his conduct.

It is essential Walz veracity is not called into question by his own lack of sincerity trustworthiness.

A question mark over Walz strength of character, his self esteem.

They do not find JD Vance even remotely trustworthy.

Some dude,

Walz is supporting Democrat Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

It is essential Walz veracity is not called into question by his own lack of sincerity trustworthiness.

A question mark over Walz strength of character, his self esteem.

Walz falsehoods fabrication were never a requirement to maintain any need for political subjective objectivity,

Walz lies serve no logical purpose.

Watch the VP debate.

Vance ate him up.

Not what the debate polls say. They say it was even.

This guy is all show and no go.

The show part is like an aged uncle with a dishonesty problem.

Not what voters think. Walz has a net positive favorability - JD Vance is underwater.

The question undecided voters need to carefully consider assess is whether Tim Walz if Tim Walz is a compulsive or pathological liar.

Hmmmm....

So I guess that would apply to JD Vance also when he said;

"I'm a never Trump guy and never liked him"...

“Mr. Trump is unfit for our nation’s highest office.”

 “I go back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical a%%hole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler.”

“Trump has just so thoroughly failed to deliver on his economic populism"

What ya' think?

“I will own up when I misspeak,” Walz said. “I will own up when I make a mistake.”

I can accept he lied about being in China/Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre, when he was actually in Nebraska.

Well, let's say that he is, for the sake of argument. It then comes down to whether you vote for a "compulsive or pathological liar" as president, or as vice president.

I would imagine the latter would be less damaging.

The question undecided voters need to carefully consider assess is whether Tim Walz if Tim Walz is a compulsive or pathological liar.

Another consideration brings into question Kamala Harris judgement, that compelled a decision to select Walz as a competent running mate.

We are about to endure another round of staged "friendly" interviews.

Policies without any clear scrutiny into the "how" such proposals could possibly be fully funded

Vance, fully prepared for the VP nominee debate, is clearly head and shoulders above Walz in the ability to present concise logical arguments.

""He said Israel has a right to defend itself and that Harris worked with Israel this past week to repel the Iranian attack.""

Wrong Sir, an Apartheid does NOT have the right to defend itself nor to be defended.

I dunno whether I want to vote for a man who embodies each of the seven deadly sins, whose stock is crashing through the floor even as the stock market is going through the roof, who openly mocked a disabled reporter, who repeats lies in a debate without even finding out if there was any truth to them, who has caused a casino to go bankrupt and who has threatened to sue his school if they release his grades...

or a man who made some verbal slips in a debate.

I'm really, like, undecided.

“I think they’re probably far more concerned with that than my wife and I used IUI to have our child and that Donald Trump would restrict that," Walz said. "So I think folks know who I am.”

I am no fan of Walz and his debate performance was poor but when Trump characterizes him as a 'far-left Marxist to the left of Bernie Sanders' it just shows how empty Trump's rhetoric is and how is he always trying to warp the Overton Window in the US to only accept his type of oligarchic capitalism.

He never said, “They can control the weather.”, “They’re eating the dogs!” Or “If I have to make up a story, that’s what I’m going to do.”

So these misses are no biggie.

Nearly a week after verbal stumbles in the only vice presidential debate, Democrat Tim Walz used his debut campaign appearance on a Sunday news show to try to fend off criticism of his stand on abortion rights and “own up” to past misstatements.

These are no biggies at all. Walz's favorability increased after the debate and it is way above JD Vance's favorability.

Since the debate JD Vance has returned to his irascible attitude: he is annoyed to answer direct questions.

Also, denial of the 2020 election is coming back into focus in the final month before the election.

Voters want democracy to be preserved, and denying the result of 2020 election gives them serious concerns.
