THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE After a series of acrimonious, senile, juvenile, and narcissistic exchanges on live TV. in the name of "debate," what we witnessed on Tuesday night's running-mate's (vice presidential) debate was nothing short of surreal.
It was civil and substantive, considering the low we have hit over the past few years, which was sone pe suhaga.
The only thing better would have been to let the two candidates debate without those biased, fact-checking debate moderators.
Both candidates-J.D. Vance and Tim Walz-put on a civil and much-informed show than their running mates at the top of the ticket. Vice President Harris' running mate, Tim Walz, is the two-time governor of Minnesota and has a history in the U.S. Congress.
J.D. Vance, former President Donald Trump's running mate, is a senator from Ohio and a former venture capitalist.
This column has previously discussed the inefficacy of live TV debates at some length. To that end, vice presidential debates also only matter a little in swinging voters' opinions in a presidential election.
However, given how tight the race has been in the last few election cycles-about 40,000 votes in a few swing states in 2020-the prospect of winning a perceived undecided voter in a highly polarized political landscape is appealing. On that front, one must concede that the two vice presidential candidates outperformed their presidential counterparts in substance and delivery.
Mr Vance was particularly effective in putting forward some of the much-maligned-most of it unfairly by the Democrat-aligned US corporate media-GOP policies more clearly and compassionately than most GOP politicians, especially Mr Trump. He acknowledged that the GOP has to win the trust of Americans on such contentious issues as abortion.
The Democrats and the U.S. media have deliberately propagated the false claim that Mr Trump would enact a federal ban on abortions.
