I dunno, these debates scare me. Harris/Walz is surging right now, and Trump/Vance is tanking: this gives Trump/Vance a chance to inject their brand of FUD by throwing shit against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.

For example, I suspect Vance is going to try and nail Walz to the wall with Walz’s 1995 DUI. That’ll be a hard one for him to talk his way out of, it’s ugly and then later his campaign lied about it.

Does he even need to talk his way out of it? It’s a misdemeanor from 30 years ago… He’s done his time. I’m much more concerned with the felon awaiting sentencing that’s running.
