2024 Vice Clown Debate

[HKFaninCarmel]

I truly don’t understand why conservative candidates continue to agree to debates moderated by these propagandists or corporate media.

While I can see a lot of potential problems with this, if you could work out the kinks, I’d like to see a debate where the questions are asked directly by voting citizens. Pick via a random selection of people who have signed up, 10-15 or so “average joes” - split fairly between all parties and some undecided voters. Have a live audience, also evenly split, that are voting in real time if the candidate has actually answered the question or not, and granting time to respond and such, just as moderators do.

While i realize it’s a whole lot easier to have moderators and pulling this off would be hard, we can do better than these partisan clown shows. My point is get these corporate media hacks out of it all together. Let the people talk to the candidates and press them on the issues that matter to them.

Just an off the cuff idea.

They have to do what JD did and come in prepared for the 1v3. JD should have invited them to the stage and to get a podium if they wanted to debate. It’s not a secret that the press is against you. You have to manage it. Watch the way JD took down the fact checks and was unphased by partisan loaded questions. Watch DeSantis take on reporters who attack him. Watch Tom Cotton take on left wing journos. The problem is Trump doesn’t have a grasp on the issues enough to do any of this.

I'm seeing so many harris signs in Lafayette that it worries me.

Any large city in Indiana is going to have Harris signs. I'm extremely rural in southern Indiana.

I did not watch the debate. I did look up some of the condensed summaries (tried to catch both sides).

My assessment based on the summaries was a solid Vance win, with a number of very avoidable self inflicted wounds by Walz.

I was surprised to discover last night that SWMBO'd had the exact opposite take. When I questioned, it seemed to be more about the "feelz" and Vance being aggressive that caused her to give Walz the win.

The 19th Amendment may have been a mistake...

WE. ARE. DOOMED.

I wish that Trump had half the debating skills of Vance.

Vance really is good at it.

No one was aggressive. Vance clearly won, I'm biased. Both got their positions out

Someone years ago pointed out that it coincided with the D party's turn toward Socialism.

I'm in a town of 4,800 and I have a neighbor across the street with a harris sign.

Walz said we are producing more oil. NOT!

I know fact checking isn't popular here but ...
https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/crude-oil-production#:~:text=US Crude Oil: Production data is updated yearly, averaging 8,135.663

Since the chart only has data through 2023 here's the estimate for 2024 and 2025.
In its latest short term energy outlook (STEO), which was released earlier this month, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) forecast that U.S. crude oil production, including lease condensate, would average 13.25 million barrels per day in 2024 and 13.67 million barrels per day in 2025.

I've only seen 2 Harris Walz signs in Orange county. One on 37 N of Paoli. The other sign on N Sandy Hook Rd just north of the fairgrounds in Paoli. Haven't seen any signs in Lawrence county or along my drive to work. I remember in 2020 driving to W Virginia and not seeing a single Biden Harris sign. Then wondering how the Hell he was elected! Are people that vote Democrat that embarrassed that they don't put out yard signs or flags?

Careful . This might be construed as doxing idiots and possibly racist.

Yeah I'm not worried about that. They shouldnt put a sign out for public viewing if they're that worried about it

Yeah I'm not worried about that. They should t put a sign out for public fee if they're that worried about it

My purple was broke. Hope the sarcasm wasn't completely broken.
