Overall both candidates helped their cause, neither had a home run, neither struck out. I will call it a draw, no winner, no loser. Just my $0.02

Very well summarized and I completely agree. I really just watched to see whether Walz could actually keep up with Vance because in a debate, I am picking a lawyer to win convincingly 100 times out of 100. When I read last weekend that Walz said he was a bad debater, I assumed he was going to be a deer in headlights the whole time but although I think it took him some time for him to get comfortable, he surprised me.
On the other hand, I think Vance showed a much less Trump immaturity side that he has previously displayed, and actually came in as an adult and not as a stupid child like his boss. I actually thought he presented himself very well.
As far as who won the debate, with all of the dodging and lies, fuck if I know. I just know nobody outright lost it like Biden and Trump did. And really, who cares? They aren't running shit anyway as the VP.
