Who won the Vance-Walz debate? It depends entirely on how you look at it. If you see it the way you would a high school debate, with points for poise, confidence, and overall optics, content be damned, then JD Vance won going away.

But if we instead rate the performances on questions answered versus those dodged, then the winner becomes the far less polished but more honest Tim Walz.

Furthermore, I find it hard to give the nod to a man who can’t recall who won the 2020 presidential election, who claims there was a peaceful transfer of power, and who lied about his own already well-documented position on abortion.

Sorry, John; I often agree with you, but I think you blew it on this one.
