The anticipation for Tuesday night’s VP debate is already starting to build. But when you look at it dispassionately and calmly, the outcome seems almost predetermined, just as the Harris-Traitor Tot debate result was predetermined.
Kamala Harris is a highly qualified and experienced prosecutor, rising to the job of California Attorney General. She is also a skilled US Senator. But here’s the difference maker. Harris is also a highly skilled politician, who has not only an agenda, but also personal and political philosophy that she adheres to strongly.
Donald Trump on the other hand is a political imbecile. At heart, he is to his toes a 3rd rate huckster and snake oil salesman. He has no serious agenda or political beliefs, only his belief in his own superiority. His political philosophy is to make stupid, incendiary, racist and sexist comments in order to get moronic trolls to vote for you in high enough numbers to squeak through the Electoral College.
How could he win? The whole object of a debate is that the moderators ask relevant questions, and you have to respond intelligently. When Trump wasn’t busy spewing racist red meat, he was standing at his podium with a scowl on his face, like an animatronic character in Disney’s Hall of Presidents, waiting for its turn to spout out its predetermined lines. Harris folded, spindled, and mutilated him.
If anything, the Walz-Vance debate is going to be even more lopsided. Walz is a highly regarded and respected veteran, spending 24 years in the Army reserves, attaining the highest non commissioned officer rank in the Army. A dedicated high school teacher and football coach, a four term congressman and successful two term Governor.
Beggar Vance on the other hand is a soulless empty vessel. Kicked around as a kid, he mentally and emotionally tried to find well off protectors to advance his education and career. Vance took the only company billionaire Peter Thiel ever gave him to run into the ground. He never even considered politics until Thiel marched him into Mar-A-Slobo and dumped him on Trump for the Ohio Senate seat. Vance would have lost if it hadn’t been for a last minute $20 million ad dump from McConnell’s Leadership PAC. Vance’s personal feelings are sexist and racist to the extreme, and he has no political beliefs at all. He’s empty vessel.
But here’s all you need to know going into the debate. Expecting little from him, Vance’s own wife is assisting him in his debate prep. She may be a well regarded, high powered lawyer, but she knows jack sh*t about politics and debates. Walz has none other than Secretary Pete Buttigieg playing the part of Vance in his debate prep. Not only is Buttigieg the smartest man in a Mensa convention, but I believe he’s perfectly capable of duplicating Vance’s dry, robotic, monotonous manner of speech.
If I’m Tim Walz, I’m apologizing to Gwen and the kids on Tuesday morning, because Tuesday night is going to filthy. Having no actual practical intelligence, topic or subject matter knowledge, and no strongly held political beliefs, Vance is going to try to turn this into a political mosh pit, and he’ll try to drag Walz down into the mud with him. Knowing Walz’s deep love for his family, I have no doubt that the Hillbilly Imbecile will lay on personal insults against Walz and his family, trying to get a rise out of Walz and give him the upper hand.
Which won’t work for a New York minute. You don’t spend 24 years in the military, and another 16 years in politics without having personal barbs launched against you and your family. And with an autistic nephew of my own, I know personally that you don’t have a developmentally challenged child without the occasional slings and arrows aimed at your back by soulless ghouls.
Walz will do what Harris did with His Lowness. He will sarcastically and laughingly shrug off Bugger’s slurs and insults, zinging him freely, then pivot to the point and make coherent arguments that lay out the Harris-Walz platform. And like the Mango Messiah, Vance will come off looking like the dumbest ass in the world since Jerusalem’s Lot.
Harris’s numbers spiked and so did her enthusiasm and fundraising after whacking Traitor Tot across the snoot with a rolled up magazine in their debate. Moderate and undecided voters were revulsed by his conduct and words. And the same damn thing will happen on Wednesday after Beggar Vance goes 10 meter sewer diving. The big difference this time is that they are already early voting in 25 states, and people can take their revulsion directly to the ballot box. Don’t touch that dial.
I thank you for the privilege of your time.
Vance wants people to think of him as the small-town Hillbilly Elegy guy. Walz has the PERFECT means with which to expose Vance as a fraud. I too grew up lower middle class. I wasn’t abused and neither parent was an addict. Ok, looking back dad was an alcoholic but an awfully functional one and he kept a roof over our heads. And most of the time food on the table. He moved out when I was young but moved back in because of the combination of back then in small town America people “stayed together for the sake of the kids” (a load of horseshit but that was the thinking) and he simply couldn’t on his salary afford to keep up with the expense of the house and the rest of us and rent a room somewhere. But it was a f**ked up dynamic.
Dad and I at least went hunting together until he was no longer able to boonie stomp – about when I was eleven. But guys like me, and most guys like Vance grew up hunting. When dad couldn’t take me I had others to do so. In college it was our life insurance agent that got me into duck hunting. Man I miss THAT. Anyway what Walz should look for a chance to do is invite Vance up to MN to, with a camera crew in tow to hear them have a true back and forth discussion do some dove hunting. With their darting flight they are tough to hit and one can quickly go through a box of 25 shotgun shells and only have a handful of doves for the bag.
The point is how comfortable Walz would be out in the field, both shooting and handling his (retriever) dog and how f**king awkward Vance would be! A true “real Man” contest for MAGAs to see. Vance knows damn well how bad it would be for him to accept such an invitation and Walz could needle both him AND Trump over their dodging some good ole American regular small-town guy hunting for the rest of the campaign.
Trump would freak the hell out. Vance would desperately seek some far away corner of the earth to hide in. Walz could in his own jovial way just taunt the hell out of the both of them, and he can kick it all off with a friendly challenge on Tuesday night!
Vance would do well to NOT insult Walz’s family (especially his son) because I’m pretty certain that Walz would be able to respond that he’s never publicly confessed, much less tried to use it as a political selling point, to yelling at his son to shut up while he was on the phone or tweeting that he had gotten “the plague” from one of his kids as a way to evade reporters’ questions. Or just something along the lines of “Well, Mr Vance, I’ve never used my children as some sort of excuse for my own bad behavior because that’s not really what *GOOD* parents do.”
Vance would have to bring a “rent a dog” like he did recently when he showed up for a Tucker Carlson Podcast. But we all kow “that dog won’t hunt”.
