  1. So then Trump can’t run again. Got it.

    And what policies did he have ready to go to say, this is what I would’ve done if “properly” seated?

    This is the wrong time for that strategy with the legal brief being released to the public yesterday.

    >“Who won the 2020 election? Could you just answer? Did Donald Trump win?” Selvig asked.

    >“Yes,” Vance replied.

    >After asking Vance to confirm that he was saying Trump won in 2020, Vance replied “Yep.”

    >The comedian then pressed Vance, asking if he would concede if he and Trump lost the election.

    >Vance did not answer directly, instead just saying “I really feel bad for you man.”

    >Selvig continued to push, asking “if your opponent gets more votes, will you concede,” after which Vance walked away without answering.

    “You know what? Fine. Trump won in 2020. Per the 22nd amendment, no person shall be elected to office of President more than twice. Trump won and was elected twice. So he is barred from running again. Harris wins by default.”

    Hammer them, ask them this shit again and again and again. Ask them specifics about the facts of the indictment and get them on record denying it.

  6. Like Walz said, the reason Pence wasn’t on that stage was because Pence wouldn’t toe the line that the election was stolen. Trump picked Vance because Vance is a “yes man” for Trump.

  7. How can you elect someone who can’t face reality? Vance and Trump exist in an imagination land, all of their answer are “that wouldn’t have happened if…” or “we’re looking toward the future.” They do not consider the present at all just an imagined past and a fictitious future.

    If he won, he’s ineligible to run for president again. Vance is too stupid to even know this.

  9. Vance goes all in. Basically if he doesn’t win his political career is over? hopefully?

  10. But, but… Tim Walz wasn’t in Hong Kong or anywhere near Tiananmen Square 35 years ago!!!

  11. The GOP is going to abandon all pretense this time around. They are no longer trying to obscure the fascism and authoritarian intent, because they know they have enough of their people in all the right places to just steal the whole thing, knowing that no one can do anything about it. They aren’t worried about anything crippling their chances in the election, because they’re not concerned about the election, because they know they don’t need it.

    This guy is weird again!  The clock struck midnight. It’s like Cinderella, the spell washed away after one night.

    “If he won, how can he run for a third term? Or, if the election was rigged while Trump was President, why bother to run now under the Biden administration as supposedly corrupt as you say it is? Surely it’d be rigged way worse than under Trump, right? So it’d be impossible to win? Senator?”

    He must have gotten an ass-chewing for not saying what Trump wanted during the debate.

    People have been sentenced to jail time for participating in the 2020 lie. Why are people willing to go along with it this time? Is the mindset basically “if we cheat even harder this time we’ll get away with it and won’t face any consequences because we’ll be in charge of everything?” Or does it even go that deep? Is it just a “yes dear orange god” thing without any pragmatic thought whatsoever?

  16. So he was just too much of a coward to say it during the debate? He’s pathetic. A weird, pathetic liar.

  17. MagicianHeavy001 on

    OK. Journalism 101 says the next question is: “What proof do you have about this contention that he won 2020? 63 courts said he didn’t.”

    Just keep hammering his ass. Ask about nothing else until he answers.

  18. I was a little down after Walz’ sort of average debate performance but he got exactly what he needed, the one dagger of a sound bite that is going to haunt the last 30 days of this campaign

  19. I like how his staffer is trying to get it to stop because she knows he’s fucking up big time.

  20. Couldn’t risk saying that when people were watching

    I honestly think he’s just running for president himself. Currently, not for 2028, as Trmp won’t last a year.

  21. If Trump won in 2016 and 2020, then he’s not allowed to run a third term, according to the US Constitution.

    Well, I guess that’s that. You’re disqualified Donny Dinglittle.

    It will continue to amaze me that election-deniers who violated their oath of office can run for office. The 14th Amendment, section 3, prohibits former government officials from holding public office again if they have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” against the United States government.

    Why are they allowed to run? Why are congressmen and senators allowed to run for reelection? Why aren’t more people pissed that our constitution isn’t being upheld?
