    Remember the hanging chad guy who whined? Or the candidate who lost Ga governor race? It happens. You have to be pretty naive not to believe sophisticated cheating happens on a large both in the past and present. There are a few swing states that just a few thousand votes either way can swing the election. The fact that you have mail in voting, early voting, voters without ID's, and it's easy to see how elections can be stolen. Think about which party is promoting early voting, no ID for voting, mail in voting, and who in democrat control cites are allowed to count the votes. Stalin once said, "I don't care how many vote, I just care who counts the votes." So, can people cheat and get away with it? Happens all the time.

    Hey buddy..you are supposed to be using the fake "cut" Vance pics now for memes, not the round face fatty you used. Are you behind on talking points?

    Best comparison I’ve seen of Vance and Walz:

    When you’ve broken your leg, Vance is the neighbor who mows your lawn for you ….. while Walz is the guy that calls the HOA’s property manager to report your overgrown yard.

    And Donald Trump goes to church every Sunday and can recite his favorite Bible verses. What planet are you living on? One is a teacher with a history of selfless actions and the other is a venture capitalist.

    If I were moderating the debate, this is how the conversation would have went down:

    Me: Fact-check Vance.

    Vance: "You said you weren't going to fact-check!"

    Me: "You said you weren't going to lie!" (Big smile on my face.)

    Game. Set. Match.

    Body language expert tells Dr. Phil he saw 'panic' on Walz's face during key debate moment (msn.com)

    Body language expert Scott Rouse called out Gov. Tim Walz, D-Minn., for panicking and trying to avoid answering a question about his presence at Tiananmen Square during the vice presidential debate Tuesday.

    One of the debate’s most surprising moments came when the CBS debate moderators confronted the governor about his claim that he had been in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square protests, when he actually traveled to Asia in August 1989, a few months later.

    Vance is the guy that makes women put their hands over their drinks in a bar while he drones on about crypto.

    Vance is the fast food manager that knows your complaint is right but still won't refund you for your burger.

    Vance is the creep that makes women ask for someone to walk them to their car.

    Vance is the guy that yells, "Don't you know who I am?" when a woman rejects him.

    The Internet if full of them...

    LOL at Americans who believe we have two distinctly different parties and a fiercely independent media …

    These comparisons between Vance and Walz are hilarious not because they are funny in themselves, but the fact that people make them up and think it’s funny to post them. These comparisons are nothing more than fantasies from their imaginations, where they get to paint anybody anyway they want based upon their own biases.

    Everyone of these comparisons could easily have the names switched. Would they still be funny that way?

    Vance is a polished ivy-league millennial who's adept at code-switching his personalities and seems to prefer a big stage to interacting with individuals and small groups. That seems the reverse of Bush 43, who was not a talented speaker but whom many liked personally and felt he was genuine. Walz, a non-lawyer who is far from smooth and not practiced in debate techniques, would be more comfortable talking to folks at the doughnut shop than a formal debate. Walz is also burdened by having a Resting Sad Face.

    Style points weren't close to me. Vance is clearly better at debating. In terms of the substance, Vance's position on J6 is disqualifying to me - not to mention the odd claim about Trump saving the ACA.

    Most political memes are silly caricatures but I guess it's true with comedy generally that attempted humor works best when there's a plausible grain of truth involved. To me, Vance seems able to switch from coming across as reasonable versus extreme, civil versus mean-spirited, etc., so that makes it difficult to put him in neat boxes. Whichever role he is playing, though, Vance still typically comes across as very smart, academic, calm, and calculating. To me, Walz comes across as kind and practical yet kind of frantic and uncomfortable. Just my take.
