Top political anchors at liberal news outlets panned Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz’s debate performance Tuesday, with one journalist likening it to President Biden’s disastrous June showdown with former President Donald Trump.
“It kind of reminded me of the June 27 debate, when Kamala Harris that night said of Joe Biden, ‘It was a slow start, but a strong finish,’” ABC News anchor Linsey Davis said of the Minnesota governor’s matchup against Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio).
“And that’s how I felt Tim Walz kind of did tonight,” she added. *** Davis, who alongside David Muir moderated the Sept. 10 presidential debate between Vice President Kamala Harris and Trump, suggested that Vance was more “effective” at hitting Harris on Tuesday than Trump was last month. *** I feel like that was really effective,” Davis said of Vance repeatedly noting that the vice president has not pursued several of her stated policy goals during the last three and a half years she’s been in the White House.
“You know, to use Tim Walz, his own words, I mean, a lot about this debate tonight was, was weird,” she added. “There were comfortable, cringey moments, but overall, my take on this was that JD Vance needed to come away as that humble, likable guy from ‘Hillbilly Elegy.’ It seemed like he did perhaps get some points in that.” *** “I think there was a clear lack of preparation and execution here,” anchor Abby Phillip said *** Jake Tapper acknowledged that “JD Vance is much more experienced with this, at public speaking and defending himself and pivoting,” while Anderson Cooper concluded that Walz seemed nervous on stage.
The New York Times described Walz’s performance as “occasionally halting,” noting that the governor “struggled early but found his footing.” ***

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Was Waltz nervous because he didn’t prepare for the debate, he is inexperienced at debating, or he has difficulty keeping all of his lies straight?

He is just plain weird. His physical movements along with his eyes are quite strange. He waves his arms in a uncomfortable way as well. He appears like there is something mentally wrong with him.

I think you may be overanalyzing. Perhaps he’s just a goofball knucklehead who’s gotten by all these years with his “aw shucks” yokel routine, and now he’s in over his head

there has to be something wrong with any white man that would be a Democrat.
