Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was holding a rotten card as he headed into a debate with Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance. Unlike former President Donald Trump, Vance deftly, calmly, commandingly, and with humor and compassion carried out the presidential maneuvers. He led debates on the issues voters cared about most, including the economy, cost of living, gas prices and illegal immigration.
waltz I had a hard time explaining Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden are not responsible for: Inflation reaching a 40-year high. How Americans pay 50% now More for gas;Why the typical family of four spends $1,200 more each month on goods and services than they did four years ago. How and why Biden and Harris allowed an estimated 12 million illegal aliens to enter the country without screening. And how dangerous the world is becoming under Biden-Harris leadership. (Related article: Janet Yellen argues that deporting illegal immigrant workers will worsen inflation)
On these issues, Ms. Harris, Mr. Walz, most of the Trump-hating media, much of the academic community, Hollywood insiders, and Big Tech’s social media platforms (aside from Company X, owned by Elon Musk) are telling the American people “lies. Don’t believe the eyes that are staring at you.” And if you believe them, ignore them. Because “democracy is on the ballot.” [code for abortion] is on the ballot, making Trump an existential threat to all living things.
Former Democratic presidential candidate and Secretary of State John Kerry has said that the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ismajor block” about raising awareness about climate change and stopping “disinformation.” Ignore California Governor Gavin Newsom, who just signed a bill criminalizing politics.deep fake” The ad clearly contains a parody ad and is made with artificial intelligence.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wants to make promoting Russia talking points a crime.
“But I think there are some Americans who are engaging in this kind of propaganda. (We need to consider) whether we should charge them civilly or even criminally…” she said in a recent interview with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
But is Trump a threat to our republic?
Speaking of Clinton, Vance brought her up during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate. when asked: “Trump still says he didn’t lose the election. Did he lose the 2020 election?”
“Obviously, I think Donald Trump and I had issues in 2020.” Vance said. In what anti-Trumpers hailed as the high point of the debate night, Walz called it “an outrageous non-response.” But Vance noted that Clinton still described her 2016 election loss as “stolen.”
Regarding this issue of voting no, Vance had a large amount of unused ammunition in his possession. Mr. Clinton might have always added, referred to President Trump said,illegal” Former President Jimmy Carter in June 2019 publicly attributed President Trump’s victory over Russian interference. However, in an article about research into the impact of Russian interference in the 2016 election, research from the New York University Center for Social Media Politics states: found it “…Despite Russian influence operations on the platform, there were no measurable changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior among those exposed to this foreign influence operation.” Is there a visible change in attitudes? But a 2018 Gallup poll found that 78% of Democrats think Russian interference “changed the outcome of the election.”
Jeh Johnson, former Secretary of Homeland Security under President Barack Obama the Russian saidDespite their efforts, they were unable to change the tally of a single vote in 2016. Not one. But in 2018 YouGov poll It turns out that 66% of Democrats believe Russia tampered with the vote tally to elect Donald Trump. While Democrats Al Gore, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton and others questioned the legitimacy of their election loss, the same crowd condemning Vance’s “abhorrent non-answers” also sat silently. was.
Asked if he would accept the results of the 2022 midterm elections, Biden did not provide his own damning answer. At the time, most experts predicted a “red wave” for Republicans, and Democrats also feared it. biden gave President Trump’s reaction: “It could easily be illegal. I’m not saying it would be legal. …The increased likelihood that it’s illegal means we can’t pass these (voting) reforms.” It’s directly proportional to what you can’t do.”
Mr. Vance effectively argued Mr. Trump’s points on the economy, the cost of living, the border, foreign policy, the Democratic Party’s pro-abortion extremism, election denial, and more.
Who won the debate? President Trump.
