Meyers, Kimmel, Colbert, and Kosta take more closer looks at the vice presidential debate

I finished Kosta, Colbert, and Hayes react to the VP Debate by telling my readers I might have more reactions to the debate. I do, beginning with Seth Meyers: Vance Lies About Obamacare, Jan. 6, Abortion; Trump Backs Out of 60 Minutes Interview: A Closer Look.

Seth takes a closer look at Trump backing out of a 60 Minutes interview while JD Vance brazenly lied about everything from health care to abortion to January 6.

As I wrote yesterday, "Vance saying Trump saved Obamacare didn't pass the smell test. Really? Even if it were true, most people wouldn't believe it." Seth certainly didn't.

Next, a monologue I should have embedded last night, Jimmy Kimmel Breaks Down the Vice Presidential Debate Between JD Vance & Tim Walz.

Tonight was the Vice Presidential debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz, Fox News is desperate to exploit any kind of oddness that they can conjure up about Tim Walz, the two candidates were pretty polite to each other, CBS opted to not fact check live but to have a QR code on the screen instead so we created our own – just go to MattDamonSucks.com, Trump did a play by play of the debate on Truth Social, he was in Wisconsin today where we was in full babble mode, and JD Vance (Haley Joel Osment) has released a new ad making his donut shopping a top priority.

Jimmy remarked about how polite the debaters were, but I'm reminding my readers that "the civility of the debate, the 'Midwestern nice,' masked two political movements at total odds with each other." Still are, as evidenced by convicted criminal Donald Trump's (un)truths. Histrionic him couldn't help but make it all about himself.

I wasn't planning on embedding Colbert's monologue from last night, but I forgot to turn off autoplay, so I watched Vance-Walz Debate Was “Normal” | Worn Out Trump Says “There’s No Hope” | It’s Fat Bear Week! Behold the power of the YouTube algorithm!

The Vance-Walz debate was universally hailed as “normal,” the former president looked tired and confused at recent speeches, and Stephen’s favorite Alaskan forest animal has returned in time to defend his Fat Bear Week title.

Stephen didn't buy Vance saying Trump saved Obamacare, either.

I also wasn't planning to share last night's opening segment of The Daily Show, but I saw Pundits Spin the Walz-Vance Debate While Trump Talks Baseball and couldn't resist.

Michael Kosta tackles last night's VP debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz and the cable news pundits who have been hard at work spinning who won. Plus, Troy Iwata is in the post-debate spin room with a definitive, scientific debate-scoring system.

I agree that Vance was slick. If he won, and the polling was a statistical dead heat, it was on style, not substance. He lied more smoothly than Walz told the truth. That's not a good thing.

I close with Governor Gretchen Whitmer on JD Vance vs Tim Walz Debate, Donald Trump & Americans Finding Unity from Jimmy Kimmel.

Governor Whitmer talks about all the artists on the “True Gretch” playlist from her book, her friendship with Tim Walz, her response to tonight’s VP debate between Walz and JD Vance, being 30 minutes late to her first debate, being described as a “Happy Warrior,” her grandmother teaching her to look for the best in everyone, something nice she could say about Donald Trump, her parents being in a mixed marriage politically, and whether or not Americans will ever be able to find unity.

That was an insightful take on both Walz and debating. I'm glad I included it in today's post.

That's a wrap for today. Stay tuned to see what I blog about tomorrow.
