No holds barred free for all. I like it. This is going to be an amazing debate. Midwest against I have no idea what the hell Vance is.
A couch-fucking weirdo, from what I've heard.
Well there's no way to fact check this so i guess it'll have to stand.
I've been seeing a lot of people saying he also has syphilis. Must be true because I want it to be.
"No holds barred" is still an honest fight.
"No facts checked" favors the opponent who has no real principles or policy to defend. It's like walking in the ring shotgun and the refs being like okay y'all on your own.
It's gonna be an absolute shit show and basically be a demonstration on how well can a liar Vance lie without being too obvious about being a liar. Best we can hope is that Walz will make it very obvious.
Hopefully there will be a second or 2 to slip in something of more substance while we wipe the shit off our faces.
Vance and Trump keep making the same lies even after they're debunked, so Walz could make a bingo card ahead of time.
Here is how you win. Prepare for lies. Do a quick fact check during each round and then punch him in the face with the truth. Laugh at him regularly for being a lying clown. Treat Vance with no respect.
Also mention couches every 2 min
Ha ha ha yes!!
Ohio is also considered the Midwest.
Eh, only really to people in Ohio and not in the Midwest.
Or maybe that's just my upper Midwestern heritage coming through. To us, it may as well be Pennsylvania, and nobody calls that the Midwest.
it is according to census bureau definition.
Minnesota here - in no way is Ohio in the Midwest.
Midwestern here.
I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they're Midwest also.
There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it's not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.
It's round on the sides and hi in the middle. Oh hi oh hio.
It's not shitting on them - Ohio is simply too far east to be in the Midwest.
Ohio is the eastern border of the Midwest, as defined by the Census Bureau.
