More credit where credit is due. Here's who came up with the yard sign meme. She's a friend. We go way back to CPAC 2020.

Zipping my lip...
Should I ever find myself in front of a judge again, I'm going to plead, "I'm a knucklehead."

Harsh but fair.
Sean Hannity is our Norah O'Donnell.
Vance to Hannity: "I was nervous. This was the biggest debate of my life." If he was nervous, he didn't show it.

Credit where it's due. Vance managed to get through the minefield unscathed.
The media bias in this debate is nearly as bad as the Trump/Harris debate. It’s not as evident because Vance has navigated it brilliantly.

Democrats tomorrow: "Sadly, we have learned that Tim Walz has dementia, and he'll be sacrificially stepping down for the good of the country."

From the comments section:
Note the difference.
Vance talked about "working-class."
Harris spouts "middle-class" and pretends it is poverty.
Perfect.
And if you join PJ Media VIP, you can comment, too!
I also hope he has a productive poop soon.
I hope for Mrs. Walz's sake Tim stops crying before he gets in bed.
Walz looked awful tonight—that really matters in a TV debate—he fumbled, he deflected. He actually did worse than I thought he would.
Harold Ford, Jr on JD Vance: "He was a lot more likable than I thought he was going to be."
Likability is EVERYTHING.
I'm very curious to see the ratings for this. It certainly felt like it got a lot more attention than VP debates in years past. As it should have, by the way.
So, I’d say it’s pretty clear Vance won the debate. But who was the bigger loser—Margaret the Mad Moderator or Walz?
Stick around for a bit because you, gentle readers, are still having too much fun in the comments. As it should be.
For everybody else, let me hit you up a little something.
Tonight’s big tell was CBS cutting Vance’s mic when he got uncomfortably close to calling the whole debate a one-sided fraud.
I hope you’ve enjoyed tonight’s coverage. I also hope you’ll help keep PJ Media’s mic hot — I mean HOT, baby — by becoming one of our VIP supporters. There’s never been a better time than during our 60% off FIGHT promotion.
We’re on the final stretch to the election but, win or lose, the real FIGHT begins in January. We’ll be here for you and if you’ll be here for us.
If for whatever reason you can't become a supporter right now, let me give you my warmest thank you for being here with us tonight. And come back to the PJ home page in just a bit for the big wrap-up to be written by... somebody more sober than I am, I dearly hope.
I really, really hope the internet explodes tomorrow with memes of Walz as friend of school shooters.
