ᴮᵉⁿ ᴿᵒʸᶜᵉVOTE IN THE PRIMARIES
"they accused trump as an agent of chaos. iran received a billion dollars from the biden harris administration"
"trump wrote off traumatic brain injury from iranian strikes as headaches"
"trump has made the world more secure"
"this idea carbon emissions drives change, so you want to reshore energy production to the usa"
"donald trump called climate change a hoax"
"if they believed in climate change, they would agree with donald trump's energy policies"
"these are not liberal folks, these are farmers, they see 500 year storms followed by 500 year drought, our number one export should not be topsoil from massive storms"
"we have a crisis because kamala harris wants to undo all of donald trump's immigration policies"
"kamala harris is the only candidate who has prosecuted transnational gangs for human trafficking"
"we have massive child separation due to kamala harris, and they use children as drug mules"
"this is what happens when you don't want to solve it, you demonize it. i believe vance wants to solve this, but by standing with trump you dehumanize and vilify human beings"
{moderators fact check vance}
"that is illegal immigration"
mods: "that is legal immigration senator"
{his mic is cut}
"more housing in minnesota cuts rents... donald trump gave the tax cuts to the rich. harris says the wealthy should pay their fair share"
"harris has been the vice president for 3.5 years, she's had the opportunity, she drove up food prices and housing prices and opened the border"
"donald trump created the largest trade deficit in america. i'm a union guy, right to work, collective bargaining. venture capital hurt manufacturing"
"you have to pretend trump didn't raise take home pay"
"i used the gi bill to become a teacher. i traveled to china 35 years ago, and started a program to take people there. trump should go there, he wouldn't lose a trade war with china"
mod: "you called trump 'america's hitler'"
"i was wrong about donald trump, the media stories were dishonest"
"donald trump put this all into motion, overturning roe v wade. amanda zoworski, young bride, she has a complication, tear in a membrane, the medical care needs to be decided by a doctor. she went home and got sepsis. if you don't know an amanda, you soon will, project 2025 will create a federal pregnany monitoring agency. maternal mortality is skyrocketing"
"we are champions of the unborn. there is so much we can do to give women more options. on the abortion policy specifically. california has a different view than georgia, let individual states make their policy"
"we are pro women. we are pro freedom. minnesota has the lowest teen pregnancy rates. these things they say 'we're pro children' that's not the case at all"
"do you want to force catholic hospitals to perform abortions against their will?"
"a lot of kids will face gun violence and we have to be better. but this is what bothers me, the majority is committed with illegally obtained firearms. under harris we have a massive amount of guns from mexican cartels. we have to make the windows and doors stronger in schools"
"i'm a hunter i own firearms, but our first responsibility is to our kids. if we really want to solve this, we have folks who won't even allow research on gun violence. in finland they don't have this happen even though they have a high gun owner rate. it's not fringing on your second amendment to do more. do you want your school to look like a fort? there's countries around the world that aren't practicing these drills."
"we have a mental health crisis. we have a lot of bad guys in big cities. and we do need to do more about school security"
"we look for scapegoats. we shouldn't scapegoat mental illness. sometimes, it's just the guns"
"in minnesota we make it easier to build homes. those are things that matter"
"we don't want to blame immigrants for housing, but kamala harris lets in millions of illegal immigrants, it's why we have massive increases in home prices"
"this is blaming and not finding solutions. there's a not a lot of federal lands around minneapolis for example, so how does that solve the problem. these federal lands protect our water."
"increased levels of migration is not the entire driver of higher home prices, but it is a driver. we're a country of builders but we have a federal administration that makes it harder to build things. we throw people in jail for not doing things as exactly as kamala harris says to"
"when donald trump was president, prescription drug prices fell"
"under kamala harris more people are covered than ever before. donald trump ran on repealing obamacare"
"we will protect preexisting conditions. but a lot of young people left the exchanges. donald trump did his job and governed"
"people know they need to be on healthcare, when we incentivize people to be on the market, we continue to do better"
"we in minnesota paid a paid family medical leave. the family does better"
"being a working mom, the cultural pressure makes it hard to choose the family you want"
"we have a threat to democracy but it's not what kamala harris and tim walz are talking about, it's censorship online. kamala harris is engaged in censorship at industrial scale. and that is the threat to democracy"
"140 police officers were beaten on jan 6. senator it was adjudicated over and over. sometimes you want to win, but you're laying the groundwork for not accepting this. and a president's words matter. be honest about it, and to deny what happened, the first time in us history a us president tried to overturn a peaceful transfer of power. this has got to stop"
sorry folks it got REALLY GOOD after this on this topic but it was flowing by too fast for me to capture it
suffice it to say walz challenged vance on accepting trump lost in 2020, vance evaded, and walz concluded after a heated back and forth with "this is a clear choice here for you america"
if you read the transcript, this exchange at the end is the best of the whole event
this was the highlight of the debate i think
#debate #walz #vance #veep #vicepresident #election2024
"we all know who donald trump is. vance made it clear he will stand with trump. kamala harris gives us a different option. we don't need to be afraid. kamala harris is bringing us real solutions. asking everyone to join our movement. where everyone gets a change to thrive. i humbly ask for your vote"
"i believed we were a rich and prosperous nation, that's gotten more difficult with kamala harris's policies. when kamala harris says she will get to work on day one, but that was three and a half years ago. there are people without food who have the grace to ask me how i am doing. they won't be able to live their american dream. please vote for donald trump who did it once before and did it well. god bless and good night"
