JD Vance won the debate! He was genuine, supportive and spoke very clearly! He spoke truth! The moderators tried tripping him up, he did not allow any frustration to deter him from answering, hie integrity stood firm!

JD VANCE won-was knowledge, professional, knew the truth and spoke it. You could feel the love for this country in His voice (America). He also had all of the knowledge to shut out the lies – even the two women. I felt He was operating under Gods wisdom, he made you feel excited about all of the changes in his voice to build America back again. He loves to be a family man just like Trump. He cares about the school children, family time, church time, and prayer. I pray that He will walk along side of Jesus. He is not ashamed where he came from, or the life he led. I am proud of his humbled nature and truth-it showed he will not be tainted by the leftist administration or their threats. He definitely is not a Socialist, communist young person. Proud of what he represents. God pour blessings upon him and his family. I lift Him up to God in the Heavens to get a closer walk with Jesus.

JD Vance is not pro-life. JD Vance is being hailed as a hero after just recently clearly lying about Springfield, Ohio and then people were making credible bomb threats putting people’s lives in danger. He refused to admit that Trump lost the 2020 election where we had violence at the capitol because of the lies spread about election fraud. As Christians, I think it would be difficult for any of us to not want abortion to disappear. But if anyone disagrees that the best way to lower abortions is through laws, they are vilified on here, called demonic. Abortions have not decreased since the change in Roe v Wade. Laws are not the only way or the best way to reduce abortions so Christians who disagree with legal means against abortion are not demonic. The hatred spewed against Walz in many of the comments on here are not Christian. What kind of churches encourage this type of hateful rhetoric against others?

    In British law, at least, unlawful abortion became a crime only recently, early 1800s. Before that it was an ecclesiastical matter to be considered case by case by the church with penalties, if any, to probably be repentance and penance. I had always been assumed that there were ‘lawful’ abortions, and there was legal precedent, and it has only been the recent ‘right wing’ lobby, such as this site, that promotes unchristian rhetoric. John above is right what sort of people ‘ encourage this type of hateful rhetoric against others. Move abortion out of the legal system.

Although I can not vote for any party that violently attacks “the least of these”, I think governor Vals statements were less “canned” than were senator Vance’s. I also think senator Vance has a much more difficult task defending the Republican presidential candidate.

Vance hands down, He was articulate, interesting, truthful, intelligent. calm. He
talked to the American people about the most important issues facing our nation.
Because of his childhood upbringing he knows how it is to be a child with a drug addicted parent. He has wisdom, discernment, and understanding of life. Great pick for Trump and all of us. May God Richly Bless him and his family.

Senator JD Vance was being fact checked so he delivered only wise and truthful comments. He told the truth for every explanation he was giving. On the other hand even though he was articulate Mr. Waltz was not truthful, he was cinical and sarcastic in my opinion. He has more experience but he still does not have a heart for the Americans, he would only follow his ideology and liberalism mentality if he became the VP. In the end JD Vance won the debate. Senator Vance was more realistic and told the truth for every issue he was explaining. Vance chose to be wise and respecful.

J. D. Vance won the debate hands down. He did not go in for the kill, though he could have easily. Instead, he took the high road, and even had Tim Walz agreeing with him in several occasions. When Vance was incorrectly fact checked, while correctly answering the issue, the moderator cut Vance’s mic with a smirk. Typical for fake news.

The moderators refused to fact check Tim Walz, though he blatantly lied on at least two occasions. One had to do with the tax rates in Minnesota, among the highest in the nation. The other had to do with the fact that Tim Walz claimed to be in Hong Kong during Tianamin Square.

When it comes to abortion, Bance revealed the extreme left-wing position of abortion for any reason at any time right up to birth with taxpayers paying for it. At the same time nullifying all state laws regulating abortion. Less than 10 % of American people support this extreme position. Vance emphasized the need to let the states decide, while establishing a.national dialog on abortion. At the same time Vance emphasized the need to provide more help for women in crises pregnancies.

All in all, Vance crushed Vilz.

Walz is a bag of wind; a fake face spewing unending lies while people are dying. I believe what I see them do, not what they say with their arrogance and misplaced pride of life. You can’t defend an undefendable record with truth. The opposite of what he says is truth. People don’t believe you any more unless they are drinking the kool aid of blind faith. Just look at the record. Vance provides a very sincere, educated, responsible world view with facts and truth. It is amazing that people cannot see, due to communist, globalist monies flowing into media, etc. Fascism, Nazi socialist workers party, occultism, pedophilia? It is sick. Truth has fallen in the street, but the thing about counterfeits is that they are exposed when the true item is shown beside them, even in rigged media coverage. Praying for truth to prevail, people to fall on their knees in repentance worldwide, and in US, so that God’s grace and mercy might grant us another space to send the light into the world, not the darkness of this NWO WEF plot they brag about.

I couldn’t watch but about 5 minutes of presidential debate because of the out right lies told by kamala and how the moderators were focused on protecting her. I watched most of vp debate and to me tim walz came across as unstable and unsure of what their position truly is or not sure of how to bend the truth to make it sound good. Also all claims against President Trump not fulfilling campaign promises in his first term are baloney tim seems to forget how democrats fought Trump every day with lies and lawsuits to derail his agenda. They didn’t care that what Trump was doing was helping the American people. The democrats have become a very hateful and angry group. I have been praying that the democrats would repent and return to God and if they refuse to, then may God help us remove them from office and replace them with someone who will follow God’s laws. Trust in God’s will to be done. If that be kamala and tim then the end of time is close. If Trump and Vance win the God is giving us a chance to repent of all our sins and remove all the evil happening the US. 🙏😇🙏

I was surprised at JD Vance’s responses with great maturity and calmness. Trump could learn some things from his VP pick if he would allow it. Trump is extremely intelligent. But he does come across very prideful and I understand he’s under more pressure than any of us know. Vance gave kudos when needed. But he was intently listening the whole time. I was impressed! I didn’t even want to watch the debate, but I’m glad that I did!

TAMPON TIM REVEALED HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE IS, INCOMPETENT, TRAITOROUS, PERVERSE. TYPICAL DEMOCRAT.A SELF ADMITTED KNUCKLEHEAD, THAT’S PUTTING IT KINDLY. HIS GOVERNORSHIP DEMANDS THAT BABIES THAT SURVIVE ABORTION ARE NOT TO RECIEVE MEDICAL HELP TO SURVIVE. HE IS A MURDERER AND A COWARD. BABIES CANNOT DEFEND THEMSELVES. SO THIS ERZATZ WARRIOR WHO CLAIMED HE CARRIED WEAPONS OF WARIN WAR ARE FALSE. STOLEN VALOR IS A LEGITIMATE CHARGE. LIKE HARRIS . WATER SEEKS IT’SOWN LEVEL. F THIS DEMONIC PAIR WINS IT’S BECAUSE AMERICA HAS A DEBT TO PAY.

In regard to my comment/prayer I meant to say I find Kamala Harris, Tim Walz as well as a number of others in Congress completely unfit to serve.

Also even as Christians we have both the privilege & RESPONSIBILITY to get out and vote. Please brothers & sister don’t neglect to vote in this coming election.

I do not think of these debates in the terms of winner-loser. I see it as a time for each candidate to present their stance on various issues. I try to watch how they respond to questions & present themselves. I do not rely upon debate alone but try to research the candidate to find out as much as possible about their true core values.
I find neither Kamala Harris, Tim Walz, along with a number of others already in Congress completely unfit to hold office.
President Trump isn’t perfect nor is Mr. Vance, none of us are. Never the less, President Trump has shown competence, unswerving care for America and the working, investing TAX PAYING citizens. Mr. Vance appears to share Trumps concerns.
As for the 2020 election I smelled skullduggery long before the election was held. Personally, I’m convinced that the 2020 Presidential election was stolen, not so much from President Trump but from WE THE PEOPLE! I didn’t need President Trump to tell me that the election was stolen, I figured that out on my own. That election shouldn’t have been certified. About all that I WILL NOT SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP.
All that said let us continue to pray for repentance, guidance, help, healing, and for the American people to wake to see both the truth of the gospel and the truth of prophecy being fulfilled before our very eyes. May God help us correct the course of both America and Canada, in Jesus name, amen.

Absolutely Trump’s Running Mate Vance! He stuck to the point Waltz failed each and every time by prevaricating! There were times when they agreed with each other and they were polite to one another but Vance was succinct in his answers and there is no question that the World was at peace under Trump because under Biden and Harris, the World is out of control. It was Biden who gave a huge sum of money back to Iran Trump with-held it! I rest my case!

I appreciated Mr. Vance’s emphasis on options other than abortion for pregnant women and working women with small children. But I pray that God’s priority for the protection of the life of the unborn from conception–which neither party acknowledges–will become a priority for whichever side wins the election. Even Roe v. Wade said if it could be proven when life begins we would have to value both mother’s and baby’s life. 1. We now know the exact moment when life begins. There is a visible spark of light when a new, unique life comes into existence and everything beyond that is a continuum of that same life. No woman, legislator, voter, politician or doctor has the right to take that life lightly. 2. When a woman becomes pregnant, it is not just “her body” but TWO precious bodies, TWO beating hearts, TWO precious lives with which she has been entrusted. Is it too much to ask that she at least postpone her own preferences 9 months to provide that life the God-given sanctuary of her body–what in Chinese is called the “child palace”?

I prayed that God would fill Senator Vance’s mouth and give him wisdom in response. I marveled in what he said and how he conducted himself. I prayed that God would let the truth be known. “Let God arise and let his enemies be scattered.” What was the scripture he quoted? I missed that.

The debate on Tuesday helped me to learn who JD Vance is and to appreciate his strength and ability to think on his feet. He was respectful, confident, and relaxed. He clearly understood the issues and explained himself and what he’d do if elected smoothly. God gave us a good potential VP in him. May our Lord’s will be done in Jesus.

Vance definitrly outperformed Walz. But it is not just about that. Our job is to continue lifting this country up in prayer. Many people are blinded by the lies that the enemy, thorugh the news media, keeps feeding them. Or they are so hardened against any truth, epsecially God’s truth, they are clining to the lies of the enemy. Let’s continue to put our trust in the One who is the only one who can bring healing to our broken nation.
Lord, Christ Jesus, please help us, those who put our complete trust in you, to not stop praying and imploring you for healing of our country, our friends and family. Break all the strongholds and chains of sin in our lives, and in this country. Let each of us come humbly before your throne in supplication for ourselves, our family, friends, neighbors and country.
In Jesus Name,

God told me that the debate was a miracle.
And I am claiming that he will seal the miracle.
I interceded during the whole debate.
I thank God for the honor Vance showed to Walz When he could agree on certain points with him. I also thank God that he stood up with a kind demeanor against things he could not agree with.
I had prayed I had of time for both candidates as well. I sensed during the debate where Satan was trying to create a smog of confusion.
The Devil did not win. Praise God.

Who “won” is immaterial. Not a sports competition. What is important is if people heard clearly what each candidate stands for Anything else is “prom queen” kind of campaigning. Not important who “won” the debate.

As far as I am concerned, J. D. Vance emerged as the winner. He was capable and didn’t even sweat to stay on top during that event. His opponent was not prepared and was no match for his competition. That was quite plain and painful for all.

David Homan
October 3, 2024

J D Vance won by showing that he isn’t “weird” or any of the slurs that have been hurled at him. (I’ve read several of the other comments and find myself in agreement.)

19
Debra Scott
October 3, 2024

I think Jd Vance clearly won the debate. He was knowledgeable, articulate, and calmly addressed all questions. He started by introducing himself to many who might not know of him or his background. He was civil and respectful. He made his case on border and economy issues. He defended misinformation about Trump.

36
BRENDA Joyce KIZER
October 3, 2024

I believe JD won . He was concise, calm stated policies and facts. If you will look at the state of Minnesota and talk to the residents, you will find out that a lot of what Waltz said is not true. He is for killing babies at birth and after, taking parental rights away from parents and letting the government decide how to raise your children. If they want sex change at age 3 -6 they will be allowed to have it. People need to be aware of the policies and what they are saying really means. Like OBAMA ran on change, well we got change but not the kind of change they were expecting. Harris is TURN THE PAGE, we better be informed by what that actually means to your family and your future. I pray against every hidden evil agenda AND that the glory of GOD will cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Let GOD arise and HIS enemies be scatter. Let light and truth shine into the darkness and the people’s eyes and ears be open before it is to late. In Jesus Name

October 3, 2024

Vice President Candidate J D Vance provided much more substantive answers to the questions during this debate. He interjected actual facts and impacts of the existing Biden / Harris administrations policies on the American people and the World. He also provided fact based perspectives on the few high level proposed policies of VP Harris on the American people now as well as in the future. This was much more relevant information than many of the questions posed by the moderators and many of the comments about what may or may not have been done in Minnesota under Waltz. Many friends and relatives we have in Minnesota paint a very different picture of what Waltz’s policies have done to them and the state overall.

VP Candidate Vance also questioned why VP Harris has changed her position on so many critical issues and has not done any of the things she is now proposing to address current issues during the past 4 years as Vice President. A fundamental question many people are asking.

JD Vance took the High Road, the Debate. He clearly demonstrated just who he is his clear thinking and ability to calmly answer or respond to questions even the so called difficult questions
He did not allow himself to be pushed around or intimidated by the CBS-debate hostesses. He was factual, honest and succinct
Now you tell me- who won the debate? I think we know it was JD Vance not the “Knucklehead”

I watched the debate and felt like Vance had the upper hand. The question I asked myself was: what if something happened to the presidential candidate while in office, who would be the better VP candidate to fulfill that office? There is no doubt in my mind that Vance would be the better person to take on that responsibility.

Douglas
October 3, 2024

I feel VP JDVance won in that he showed he was willing to work with left to solve problems yet pointed out their failed policies. I would have liked to see both parties admit that taking the life of another is wrong. There have been exceptions for rape and incest but to kill innocent babies 1,000 daily is not the way to go with tax payer dollars.

22

I felt that J.D. Vance won the debate, despite being patronized by the moderators. The moderators were also solicitous of Tim Walz. ‘Winning’ a debate doesn’t mean that everyone will agree with what he said, but he was true to his beliefs and conducted himself in an honorable and dignified manner.

As debates go I don’t normally watch them for obvious reasons. It took so much to watch the Trump-Harris debate. All that being said I chose to tune in to the Vance- Walz debate.

PLEASE Vote Early

I was disgusted by it and actually turned it off after about 45 minutes. Vance seemed to do a good job and was well-spoken, but the rhetoric, propaganda, and sound bites—the twisting and cherry-picking of scripture by Walz and his unanswered insistence that the abortion bill point was fact-checked at the last debate were infuriating. CBS should have acknowledged that their fact-checking was fact-checked and in fact, found to be INCORRECT. People have actually demanded apology and retraction. That is a perfect reflection of the lack of integrity that big tech, media, and recent administrations have come to accept as the status quo and it’s hugely disappointing.

The half-truths & twists of truth were everywhere. To say you aren’t pro-abortion when you fund abortion facilities, visit & promote them, and legislate abortion rights, yet call it a woman’s right to health to have the ability to kill your own child even after it can live outside your womb, is not TRUTH. You can be pro women’s health by providing abstinence education, condoms, or contraceptives. You can give women a choice by expanding adoption support and funding, expanding services and pathways to give up children to loving families without penalty, by providing under-supported, unprepared mothers with pregnancy care, employment training & education support, and by reforming the health care system and economy so it’s actually affordable to care for children and adults. You could opt to fund healthcare & college for unwed mothers who opt for birth control, instead of pushing to give those benefits to illegal immigrants. Amber Thurmond might still be alive today if she HADN’T taken abortion pills. What happened to her also happens to women who want their children and miscarry for other reasons. Her death was caused by her choice to get an abortion when her state tried to protect her from that harm. Her death wasn’t caused by her pregnancy. It was caused by her abortion. Her baby also died because of the abortion. Without it, they might BOTH be alive.

I pray for our nation. For God to change hearts. For us to look to Him and submit to His ways and forsake our selfishness, dishonesty, and pride. Let us be a nation of integrity and strong work ethic and let us be a nation that honors the Lord, grateful for what He’s done and reflective of His selflessness, forgiveness, mercy and grace.

I can’t say who won. I only watched part of it after it had aired. However, I felt like Vance came across as poised and genuine, whereas Walz seemed to be trying hard to project himself as Mr Nice Guy who had always been a champion of the little people. He seemed to present a facade. I know of some of his record, and he’s not a nice guy.

At first I thought it was a draw. Both men were civil and polite te each other. Both spoke about the issues. However, Vance kept pointing to the failure of the Biden-Harris regime and the success of President Trump during his time in office. Walz lied about Democrat successes and poor performance. He also did not clearly explain the time he was in China. He also looked nervous. Vance exuded confidence in himself and the Republican ticket. He won.

I thought Americans won the debate. To see two men debate each other in a civil, respectful manner was good for America. The debate showcased that we can see each other as co-contributors to this nation’s greatness, not as personal enemies.
On that note, both candidates acknowledged the good ideas of their opponent, without compromising their own.
This exchange of ideas displayed a spirit of bi-partisanship and stands in stark contrast to the dehumanization of our opponents through personal attacks, which many Americans despise.
Furthermore, JD Vance emphasized the importance of debating ideals in the public square. He called out his opponent’s running mate for the broad censorship of ideas in the public forum . Yet, he also took responsibility for the need to do a better job convincing Americans of different ideals. He was referring to abortion when making this statement. He .called out Tim Walz for not being honest about his party’s demoralizing radicalization of abortion rights including the recently passed abortion legislation in Tim’s own state. Yet, JD Vance’s rebuttal stopped short of a strong pro-life stance, displaying his own party’s movement away from an uncompromising pro-life position. The abortion argument was allowed to be framed as a woman’s right to her own body, completely denying the perspective of the American child who calls to that woman, albeit with a feeble voice, to their Mommy, please let me live! I know you will love me.
Lastly, It should be noted that JD Vance was debating three people Tuesday night, not one. He respectfully held his own position and displayed an openness to working with others to whom he disagrees with. This is not unlike Ronald Reagan. Tim Walz was also a respectful, thoughtful opponent. Therefore, the American people were the real winners Tuesday night, because although we see the future from very different viewpoints, we saw us as one nation.

If truth won, then so did JD Vance.. I appreciate his even handed approach and ability to articulate without getting heated.
God Bless JD Vance and his family with wisdom, insight and protection.

Lord, grant Your people to discern between righteousness and evil and vote in agreement with righteousness.
This kind of debate is not won or lost. Each Candidate gave us a glimpse of what they stand for. If you are a conservative, you would agree with what Vance said. If you are a liberal you would agree with what Walz said. Each presented themselves as what they were.

J.D. Vance clearly won in my opinion.
Walz was clearly nervous and often showed signs of either being false or unsure if his answers. He interrupted a few times but was, hiwever, very respectful in his tone for the most part.
Vance was very respectful and even sounded genuinely concerned for Walz and his family. He was also commanding and fearless while still being civil with the moderators even when they were clearly unfair with him.

    I thought this debate got a lot closer to what a true debate should actually be! I was glad to get to see Walz in action since I (as a Republican) don’t know that much about him. Regarding policies? I definitely prefer Vance. May God move in the lives of both men no matter who wins the VP position.

I thought that it was very clear why President Trump chose JD. Vance for his VP. He was very calm, professional and very well spoken. Praying that the truth would continue to come out and that God would help us to see the truth and act upon it when voting. I pray that our election will be protected against fraud and that people would realize they need to vote their faith, for the candidate that is running on the platform that lines up the closest to God’s word. God please help us to see the truth and vote accordingly. Thank you Lord for people that are willing to stand for truth!

I felt the debate further exposed the main stream media as biased and driven by a specific agenda. This agenda includes defeating Donald Trump by whatever means possible.

Even though it was clearly a three on one affair( the other candidate and the CBS moderators versus Vance), JD Vance won the night. I believe he came across as intelligent, kind and very capable. He may be President one day. I pray God’s very best for his future.

Our country is going through dark times but a brighter future is ahead for us. In my mind the debate was an example of the best man prevailing in unfair conditions . Even though the deck was stacked against him God’s man, JD Vance, still came out on top and was the clear winner.

JD Vance…he answered the questions asked with knowledge of each subject.
Mr Walz did not really answer the questions, but when on and on about his/Harris ideas.
Vance totally respected Walz and was firm but reasonable.

At the time he made it, I wasn’t clear about President Trumps pick of J.D. Vance. I just didn’t know enough about J.D. I now understand why President Trump made this pick. If we as a Nation are blessed enough to have President Trump again become our President, We the People will have a second in command that has the ability to LISTEN and effectively communicate, yet I believe will respectfully let the President know privately if he differs on a position. He will have a YOUNG person that is being groomed to take over in the future. A person who has respect for others, but yet holds firm to the ideals and values of this Republic. Who won the debate you ask, in my humble opinion after viewing what I listened to the other night, it was won the day President Trump picked J.D. Vance. Thank you President Trump for this pick, and your wisdom with this one, and may the wind of the LORD be behind you and J.D. to win this Nation back for “We the People”.

I’m not sure that I can say either candidate “won” the debate.
I was thankful that it was civil, but once again it appeared that the moderators were biased against the Republican candidate.
Overall, I was disappointed, believing that J. D. Vance missed a lot of opportunities to set the Republicans apart in big ways from the Democrats.

As to who “won” the debate on Tuesday night, I do believe that J.D. Vance had an overall better performance than Tim Walz. I was totally unimpressed with Walz ,especially when he was questioned about his Tianneman Square issue. He sure wasn’t able or willing to be honest about it. For that very reason, I feel that he lost the debate.

It appears JD Vance won – he stayed on topic, addressed moderators by name, acknowledged points of agreement with Tim Walz, emphasized the value of marriage and family, and remained calm throughout the debate. Walz, on the other hand, brought Trump into the debate on every topic, continuing the practice of blaming Trump for the sad state of affairs of America. In the end, Vance proved his allegiance to America while Walz failed on four points: his position on abortion (especially legislation in the state of MN), his presence in China and his connection to the CCP, his having declared MN a refuge state for abortion up to birth and the mutilation of children through sex altering treatments, and taxation. MN had a $17 Billion tax surplus – of that eligible single residents received a $250 rebate and married couples a $500 rebate. He committed a significant amount to education what he committed and what was actually allocated are very different. Last but certainly not least was Walz’s inaction when Minneapolis burned on 2020.

We need to get over this two party paradigm and its illusion of choice. We are being played by a radical, intelligent evil, the spirit of Antichrist, as the Global elite march the ball down the field. Yes vote, but put your trust in Jesus Christ alone. He has to go first, or no nation can last.

J D Vance blew him out of the park. He was so professional while Walz was shaking in his pants. Walz appeared confused a lot during the debate where Vance was a true professional and was outstanding in his individual presentations. The two ladies again were so ridiculous and J D put them in their place. Walz appeared confused at times and Vance was extremely prepared and knew what he was talking about. Walz and Kamala are two of the worst speakers that we ever had in government. Trump and Vance can lead us to a point when we need to be. The democrats are in no position to lead our country.

J.D. Vance proved why D. J.Trump considered him, although young, to be a wise choice for a running mate and possible future president! Well versed on each subject presented, forceful when needed and dignified. The following day many on the left had kind words to say about him. Reminds me of the scripture “When a man’s ways are right with the Lord even his enemies are at peace with him.”

    October 3, 2024

    I do not agree that “both sides made up stuff.” I heard several lies from Walz., but did not hear anything “made up” by Vance. Vance did a great job overall, but failed to refute the lies. 2 examples: 1) The border bill won’t solve the border problem because it requires at least 5000 immigrants to come in daily before closing the border and that can be overrided to allow for more, so it would force the next president to continue the open borders policy. 2) Trump neither created, read, or supports Project 25. He is unable to support something he has not evaluated.
    Vance came off as presidential, competent, intelligent, and compassionate, so won the debate. Walz came off as more moderate than he really is, and sincere about serving the people, (though the ideas of Harris/Walz are likely to worsen the current problems with an unstable world, open borders, crime and inflation ) so scored a few points, while looking like a deer in the headlights.

      I believe Jesus already made His move by Trump selecting JD Vance. He certainly practices good Christian policies already. Yes I do think the Lord guided Trump in the right position. I think JD and his presentation will put Trump in and together they can bring America back. They will live people in the USA but they will use the proper ways to do it, unlike the idiot in charge now or should I say two idiots.

      Trump is starting to give God all the glory. I’ve seen a change in him since he was shot at. But when if he didn’t, God will still use him. He is a modern Cyrus and Cyrus of old was a proud man and idolator. Many prophets have prophecied about him.
