So late night Mastodon, in a word or two characterize your impression of Vance after tonight's performance?

@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin
Vance: Eddie Haskell
Walz: Ward Cleaver(Sorry for the extremely white reference, but that was the first thing I thought: Vance is on his best behavior for the adults in the room.)

@mastodonmigration @KamalaHarrisWin Vance decided to reinvent himself just in time for the debate. Walz largely let him do it but hit him with a few reminders.

Love it! And old enough to totally get it!

Such a good point. Was kind of screaming at the TV for Walz to call him out more, but it turns out that's not Tim Walz, and the world is a better place because of it. Mad respect for Walz. Think he ended up winning more in the long run by taking the high road... mostly. Really fascinating study in human nature.

Vance: smarmy
Walz: that guy who knows a lot and does a lot, and sometimes fumbles the explanation -

Smarmy is so good! And Walz does kind of goof things up, but in such a genuine way. Hard not to like the guy.

One more thing here. Vance kept trying to draw Walz into his rhetorical constructs, kind of like luring him into logical traps, and Walz was having none of it. He just shook him off and went back to the core message. Like, nope, not going to play your stupid word games, here is what I think and what I stand for. It was very good.
