It was pretty clear that JD Vance wiped the floor with Tim Walz at the Vice Presidential debate Tuesday night.
He was calm, cool, and a great explainer of the “Trump brand.”
When even CNN admits that Vance “carried it” on the main points of economy and immigration, you know that’s not good news for the Democrats.
But how did it go over with the general public and maybe, particularly, with the undecided middle?
I wrote a bit about how a lot of people were taken with Vance’s intelligence and his eyes. That certainly helped. So, I think it’s fair to say he just wiped out the “weird” talking point.

But by all the metrics, people were saying Vance came out on top.
The WaPo focus group had 14-8 for Vance with swing state voters.
Then there was Frank Luntz’s focus group. Only five of the 14 had been leaning toward Trump-Vance.
It got better as the debate went on. It ended up 12-2, Vance. So he moved a lot of people.
The liberal media snap polls couldn’t even find a way to give it to Walz; they had to admit Vance won. He even got over 50 percent, which is an amazing feat with such polls.
Now, that looks close, but you have to view it through the lens of the liberal media.
As Rebecca Downs of our sister site, Townhall, observed about the CNN poll:
The 51 percent support for Vance is even greater news for the Trump-Vance ticket, given that he’s the first one to have received over 50 percent. Even in previous polls for the Republican candidate won, it was only with plurality support.
It also reportedly oversampled Democrats by five points.
The polls were already trending toward Trump, this has to be a crushing blow for the Democrats, when they likely hoped that Walz was going to provide some real help, given Kamala’s problems. But unfortunately for them, he has his own issues. Now, we’ll have to see how this may have influenced independents as more information comes out.
But Vance certainly did a great job. As Scott Jennings noted, Tim Walz got savaged.
Another lie from the knucklehead! Border crossings were at the lowest when Trump left office, but when Biden/Harris took over they opened the gates to the border, and the world came pouring in, leaving true American citizens footing the bill to support them. DOES THIS MAN EVER TELL THE TRUTH? Everything this country had built up with Trump in office seems to be at their lowest point. Oil reserves at their lowest, spending what we don’t have at it’s highest, border wrecked, and the president is at the beach and the veep fund raising! And the one mentioned in this article is admited to being a “knucklehead.” IMO, he’s a bold faced LIAR.
