When Vance started talking about healthcare drug costs, it's insane listening to American politicians talk about drug prices and making choices in hospitals. Like, they're describing a dystopian nightmare as their ideal situation. You should never need to make those evaluations in the first place if you have a functioning medical system.
Vance is clinging onnto the lie that he grew up poor in his rags to riches story. His family benefited from his father being a union member steel worker. He retired in a great pension with health cover. It was only very late in his grandmother's life that after supporting him and his mother, she required help. Apparently Vance pieced together his family history not in chronological order but to present the desired image.
This it the point. Everything needs to be owned and controlled and then valued only in terms of profit. You buy a blood test or whatever. These guys are ghouls.
“We’re not going back” personally is the one phrase that’s given me hope and I keep going back to. I actually don’t like when she talks about the future “opportunity economy.” It’s giving “hustle culture” where everyone has to be an entrepreneur to feed their families.
Yeah I honestly think these consultants make this stuff seem consequential when it isnt...all this poll tested "data driven" campaigning turns lots of people off---part of the appeal that trump had in 2016
@@raoulemtiez8845 100% agree. I’ve had consulting roles and was always astounded by little your average consultant actually knows about whatever industry they’re advising, and how much “data” is just a buzzword. The thing they’re best at is convincing companies they need more consultants. 🫠

The campaign were clearly aiming for moderates. I agree that Tim didn’t go for the jugular when he could but I think he was thrown by how collegial Vance was and didn’t want to be the one to break that. I’ve seen focus groups and comments on less progressive channels where it seems people enjoyed the collegiality, so who knows. We’ll see how it shakes out soon enough.
Exactly. I think there's a jaded political class that naturally sees the best rhetorician as the winner of a debate, and people will generally frame their reactions when asked about who "won" said debate via that perspective. But as normal folks slowly mull over what they've seen (and as clips get filter through social media), I think Walz will end up again generating far more engagement. He was just way more likable and had better answers. Did he flub a few times? Yeah. But was there anything that came across as just plain disingenuous or out of touch? No.
Bingo. We're all playing the debate game, but Walz wasn't thrown in there for his smoothness. He's there to humanize the ticket and pick up voters who want something that feels relatable. Vance never flubbed, sure, but he also never seemed genuine or even remotely interested in solving important issues. He came across as the potential status quo winner (by a point or two) of a debate. Walz was aspirational, direct, human, folksy, and his one big OOF was on a total non-issue about Tiananmen Square of all things. Talk about a desperate reach by Republicans and the media.
You know, I think the MR team got this all wrong. Walz wasn't being nice based on some kind of strategy -- that's who the guy is. Harris can knock Trump down a hundred pegs, that's not what Walz is there for. He's there to take her edge off and convince people the ticket isn't for the coastal elite. The minute Walz goes negative it ruins the only reason he was put on the ticket, AND it comes across as disingenuous. Walz' favorability went up after the debate, particularly among Independents, whether or not the majority of decided voters think he won it by being the better debater.
It’s not that Walz can’t debate, it’s that him and the team behind him didn’t want to come off as too mean. He went way too easy on Vance, that was the entire issue. Just not aggressive enough. He still clearly won on policy.
@i0r-r-tjtkttl There’s plenty to support Tim Walz on, that’s a really silly point to make. There’s no question who the more supportable candidate is in terms of policy. Walz guaranteed free school breakfast and lunch for kids, he legalized marijuana, he lowered prescription drug prices, he stands with unions, he’s helped cut child poverty, and banned conversion therapy. He’s just simply not aggressive enough.
I honestly thought he did pretty well. I think Sam and Matt were being a little bit too harsh on him. I was with emma. Look, yes in hindsight we can pick apart what should have been said, but in that moment sometimes it's just harder than it seems. He could have got Vance better, but it kind of seems like they were nitpicking a little bit there. Emma was a little ganged up on
Completely agree at 1:06. I am SO tired of the democrats being meek, timid and not defending or refuting. It makes them look weak and like they won’t fight for us!
To the buckets IMer who will most likely see this due to that whole unhealthy obsession you seem to be experiencing with paying for a monthly membership and watching a multi hour long daily show that is clearly a little out of your comprehension level. All that money and time wasted to ask such a dumb question. Doesn’t surprise me considering the fan base you brought all that slop from. :)
Its so disappointing Walz didn't ask JD Vance if by censorship and banning accounts he meant when Elon banned accounts sharing the dossier about JD Vance this week.
@i0r-r-tjtkttl Yeah, I don't mind Tim being nice about it, but he could've asked JD in a folksy way some tougher questions instead of constantly saying "we actually agree on this thing"...he did say some good stuff though, just not as much as I'd have liked, how hard is it to have a list of RW talking points and the appropriate responses to each, they've been repeating the same things for years and the list isn't really that long, because its all variations of the same crap...Medhi Hasan should absolutely offer his services to this campaign if any further debates do happen
1:04:00 Matt and Sam have to STOP talking over Emma. They do it all the time but this was the worst one I've seen. She was making a great point and Matt just started talking right over her. Matt, if I want to hear your opinion in front of the camera I'll watch Left Reckoning (which I do).
🎉I can only say that I get tired of Emma loud talking in the middle of Sam & others -She talks over them too much & I like it when they keep talking cuz I feel she is too loud much if the time when I would like to hear them finish their points… Just my humble point of view. ❤
Book about something the public, and many of us, need educating about? Nah, someone might make a living off it. Denied. Fire up the horse race generators.
🎉I just want to mention that I used to hear morning little birds chirping out near the yard & I have not heard ANY BIRDS since our last HeAT WAVE in the 98-103 range for two weeks. I was worried how the wild critters would handle that. (NW area outside Seattle).
18:25 Break carefully, my friend. The Jewish lobby is powerful. Perhaps one way for Harris to shift is to say, “As with all conflicts, we need to constantly assess whether the balance between defending our freedoms and those of our allies has shifted. Are we now the aggressors? Are we attempting, now, to impose our way of life instead of defending it.” That should send the message to both Netanyahu and liberals that our support for Netanyahu’s campaign is not open-ended? Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan all had to end at some point.
🎉Also, I felt Tim Waltz was a bit TOO NICE to lying Vance. They both seemed way nicer than I have heard them talk on interviews and speeches . I am worried people will now fall for Vance pretending to be a normal nice guy.
Sounds like you are disengaged. Kamala Harris has run a nearly perfect campaign. Trump tried to overturn a free a fair election and is a convicted felon. Those are just the facts, not even opinion..That should be enough..
“ … this is not a persuasion campaign, it is a mobilization campaign.” 😨 Scary, but I disagree. He’s going to stick with talking to Fox and newsmax bc his ego can’t take any criticism. He’s not playing chess.
@nicholas4727 I don’t think he did. Which person was most true to their character last night? Clearly Vance put on his “nice guy” skin and people can see right through it.
They both performed well IMO. No one clocked or knocked the other one out. Walz response to the Tiananmen square was long and not a response and prob the worst response for him. Vance response to the 2020 election saying they are moving forward was also bad.
Here’s what we are up against. Vote for Harris we will be in the same situation of horrible economic conditions and horrible border crisis. Vote for Trump and things will go back before the horrible conditions start.
Long time listener. I’ve made this comment twice over last two weeks…get Matt under control. He’s smart, he’s a nice guy…but he interrupts too much & goes on tangents too much. I can tell both Emma & Sam don’t like it, gotta mute him. He can go on his rants on his own podcast. LIB 💯

It just isn't in Gov. Walz to go for the throat. Guess what? I love that about him.

I think there's a jaded political class that naturally sees the best rhetorician as the winner of a debate, and people will generally frame their reactions when asked about who "won" said debate via that perspective. But as normal folks slowly mull over what they've seen (and as clips get filter through social media), I think Walz will end up again generating far more engagement. He was just way more likable and had better answers. Did he flub a few times? Yeah. But was there anything that came across as just plain disingenuous or out of touch? No.
If Walz grew his favourability isn't that saying something in terms of votes and in terms of his debate performance?
Bingo. We're all playing the debate game, but Walz wasn't thrown in there for his smoothness. He's there to humanize the ticket and pick up voters who want something that feels relatable.

fickle literally means unstable decision-making so its fine technically but yeah would've been way more powerful to just say unstable
Trump LOST his debate w harris. She made a fool of him. Of course he doesn't want another one.
Walz can't debate, but He gets shit done!💙
Vance can't debate either. But he can mislead people into thinking his beliefs aren't horrific. Can't fact check beliefs
It’s not that Walz can’t debate, it’s that him and the team behind him didn’t want to come off as too mean. He went way too easy on Vance, that was the entire issue. Just not aggressive enough. He still clearly won on policy.
