OT: American Politics

[hockeylover]

The thing is Vance is exactly right about this. It is the Civil War all over again, and the same battle for human rights as it was then.

I'm just glad we can now be honest about.

I hope Walz just rephrases every question into talking about exactly this.

"Vance has admitted his movement is re-fighting the Civil War, and they are on the side of treason and slavery."

over and over and over again.

This is my non-Silver take:

After a parabolic move up, vibes are basing nicely before the next move up to new highs after the debate.

last week's prediction looking good

I know you (and others) have said JD’s really good at debate stuff but… part of me is a little skeptical because he seems to say something incredibly fucking dumb every time he opens his mouth.

 

[zeke]

nah he'll be good. I give him an edge over Walz in debate tactics. Walz will have to win the optics battle.

is there a debate performance in particular you’re thinking of here?

no.

i'm gleaning from his interview style.

Today Kamala is in a 9600 seat venue in Charlotte, NC.

Trump is in a 2300 seat venue in Tucson, AZ.

Surely a Yale lawyer has better debate training than a high school social studies teacher?

But, personality and substance (e.g. cat lady smarm) might give Walz an opening.

But Trump told us that nobody comes to see her, and that she busses in her audience.

The thing is his interview style thus far has been to say something utterly unlikeable/offputting almost every interview.

So from a technical standpoint he might be good at debates, but if he could avoid doing the things that have made him historically unlikeable maybe he should’ve tried that already.

this is just like a lone rebel judge eh? not the ND Supreme Court (or whatever their top court is?).

(i.e. the top court will overturn this on appeal?)

Vance is smart at least. lacks charisma, holds incredibly offensive views, but he's much smarter than dotard.

he'll have a plan and likely stick to it better than dotard. I'm with zeke here I think
