Last night I was on the Seth Leibsohn radio show in Phoenix. We mostly talked about Tuesday’s vice presidential debate, but that led us into a few other topics, like immigration, legal and illegal. It is a good conversation, and it goes on for several segments:
I think the vice presidential debate will continue to reverberate. For the first day or two, Democratic Party sources have been spinning Tim Walz’s truly awful performance. But as it sinks in, as it is discussed at water coolers and around dinner tables, people are acknowledging to one another how bad Walz was.
True, no one cares about vice presidents. But Walz’s performance–his own “I am a knucklehead” was the kindest evaluation one could offer–was so terrible that it reflects not just on the Kamala Harris ticket, but on the whole Democratic Party. JD Vance, in contrast, was the soul of moderation, reasonableness and coherence. We haven’t seen the last of this debate’s impact on the election.
