Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole ā€œimmigrants eating cats and dogsā€ thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out ā€œWeird!ā€ at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

    Yeah, I think the MAGAs will run mostly with the unfortunate garbled school shooter phrase, mostly because the eternally 12 year old bully Donald Trump seems to think it was some sort of fatal gotcha moment and not a facially nonsensical mis-speak. Ironically, I think this will mostly squander some generally skillful sanewashing BS from Vance.

    Kamalaā€™s campaign on the other hand will get very good mileage out of the refusal to concede that Trump lost on 2020. Somebody on CNN said it would be the best ā€œcampaign adā€ moment of the debate.

    Overall, it is what it is, and it will be impossible to tell how many people will really be swayed by the debate, but I doubt itā€™s a particularly large number. In particular, ā€œleave abortion to the statesā€ is unlikely to resonate with women in any state with a Republican legislature, including GA, AZ, and NC.
