Always fair

I enjoy his view on politics. It usually seems spot on and is willing to look at both sides. Also love his wife’s podcast. She hates Trump understandably but is fair on the political side. Such a breath of fresh air couple!
VP debate

I don’t think we watched the same debate. Walz was nervous and admitted it, early on. But he was genuine. Vance was a completely different person on that stage than he has been in every other interview he has done. He was obviously playing a part by being more reserved bc his dear leader Trump completely went off the rails and threw tantrums during his debate and it made him look like a fool. Why is Walz considered to be “lying” but Vance is making “dubious claims” - talk about a missed opportunity to call both sides out and be unbiased. You can’t say for 1 moment Vance is now empathetic and humanized bc he maintained composure for 60 min for once- when he STILL cannot agree that Trump lost the 2020 election. Talk about wanting to have it both ways!
