Curious people’s thoughts here. I think Tim got better as time went on, could tell he was unsure especially with that Lebanon question off the bat.

Was struck by how much agreeing there was on stage and this really strange lack of conflict in some of the answers.

My theory is that Tims/Kamala team strategy was to have Tim talk brass tax on issues people care about in response to jd being crazy on stage.

But it seemed like Vance and his team went a similarly polite route comparatively in order to seem less psychotic and freakish as he is.

It feels like this dynamic made for a weird debate of agreeing and staying in the weeds. I think Tim ended up winning and probably pulled some people to common sense solutions but not sure how big of an impact this will have ultimately.
