Abby Phillip: Vance ‘Landed a Lot of Punches,’ ‘Clear Lack of Preparation’ on Walz’s Part

BASH The candidates chatting ░░░░░░░░ wives came up chatting ░░░░░░░░ was not something we ░░░░░░░░ anything close to in ░░░░░░░░ presidential PHILLIP I think ░░░░░░░░ shouldn t lose track ░░░░░░░░ think even in the ░░░░░░░░ of the fact that ░░░░░░░░ D Vance came to ░░░░░░░░ debate to land a ░░░░░░░░ of punches and he ░░░░░░░░ He landed a lot ░░░░░░░░ punches in between all ░░░░░░░░ niceties and all of ░░░░░░░░ And the thing that ░░░░░░░░ stood out to me ░░░░░░░░ that Tim Walz did ░░░░░░░░ seem prepared for it ░░░░░░░░ didn t respond to ░░░░░░░░ lot of the criticisms ░░░░░░░░ attacks that Vance put ░░░░░░░░ the table He allowed ░░░░░░░░ clear falsehoods to just ░░░░░░░░ completely unanswered He allowed ░░░░░░░░ D Vance essentially to ░░░░░░░░ on a whole host ░░░░░░░░ issues on climate change ░░░░░░░░ the issue of his ░░░░░░░░ flopping on Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ allowed Vance initially to ░░░░░░░░ that Trump salvaged the ░░░░░░░░ Care Act It took ░░░░░░░░ several sentences to get ░░░░░░░░ the part of his ░░░░░░░░ Walz s answer where ░░░░░░░░ where he actually responded ░░░░░░░░ that I mean I ░░░░░░░░ there was a clear ░░░░░░░░ of preparation and execution ░░░░░░░░ on Walz s part ░░░░░░░░ I think actually it ░░░░░░░░ the opposite I think ░░░░░░░░ had too much preparation ░░░░░░░░ Maybe yeah BASH He ░░░░░░░░ so many lines that ░░░░░░░░ was clearly trying to ░░░░░░░░ that he didn t ░░░░░░░░ When J D Vance ░░░░░░░░ one of the many ░░░░░░░░ things he really hit ░░░░░░░░ Harris on not Tim ░░░░░░░░ but Kamala Harris he ░░░░░░░░ t respond because he ░░░░░░░░ had things in his ░░░░░░░░ I think the lack ░░░░░░░░ interviews that he has ░░░░░░░░ with national media with ░░░░░░░░ media it showed he ░░░░░░░░ more reps TAPPER Yeah ░░░░░░░░ I agree J D ░░░░░░░░ is much more experienced ░░░░░░░░ this at public speaking ░░░░░░░░ defending himself at pivoting ░░░░░░░░ talked about the many ░░░░░░░░ that Walz let Vance ░░░░░░░░ away with saying things ░░░░░░░░ weren t true and ░░░░░░░░ talked about the ObamaCare ░░░░░░░░ as if Donald Trump ░░░░░░░░ had tried to save ░░░░░░░░ PHILLIP Just to be ░░░░░░░░ he eventually did address ░░░░░░░░ part of it BASH ░░░░░░░░ he did PHILLIP but ░░░░░░░░ was after It took ░░░░░░░░ little winding up And ░░░░░░░░ think that an experienced ░░░░░░░░ immediately jumps on something ░░░░░░░░ that because that s ░░░░░░░░ really critical point for ░░░░░░░░ Democrat to make.”
