That's because he's a genuinely nice person.

I'm enjoying the fact that CBS brought receipts about Vance's past statements about Donald Trump.

So far, I like the way the moderators are handling things.

I don't think the experts Walz was talking about and the "experts" Vance is talking about are the same experts.

I think this is how the evening is going to go. Vance simply won't directly answer any questions.

The way this evening is going for Vance:

MODERATOR: [DIRECT QUESTION]

VANCE: "I'm going to talk about something completely different now."

Walz answer was really good.

They got it back. Mics got cut.

Mics got cut. Nice.

Vance talking over the moderators, now. That won't play well.

We're ~25 minutes in, and so far I would say this debate is close, but Walz is edging out Vance. He's not as polished, but he's coming across as more genuine, and he's directly answering.

He simply refused to answer.

Walz just comes off as so goddamn nice. I wish I could meet him in person.

And Vance is simply refusing to answer the question about child separation. He simply won't.

Walz directly quoting Trump's promises about the wall, including the "Mexico will pay for it."

Vance: "Build the wall."

Yeah, no... I don't think you understand how big the southern border is or what terrain it's on, pal.

I will say, I'm enjoying this debate more than I thought I would, simply because the moderators seem competent and both debaters are behaving like actual adults, even if Vance is a makeup-wearing Yale-bot.

"Our number one export cannot be topsoil" - Walz

That is a hell of a good line.

Yeah, I honestly tried to follow his answer, and couldn't. It was delivered smoothly, and didn't mean anything.

Walz pointing out that Trump jokes about big storms creating more beachfront property.
