Vance or Walz: who won the VP debate? Our panel responds | Panelists

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

78% : While Trump was being his usual unhinged and sexist self, Vance was being surprisingly normal.
44% : We've come a long way from the libertarian 1990s, when both Bill Clinton's new Democrats and Bob Dole's Republican party were firm believers in free trade, couldn't care less about manufacturing jobs, and found bipartisan agreement on shrinking the welfare state.
27% : Trump wrote on his social network two minutes into the debate.
20% : When Trump first ran for office, Vance hyperbolically called him "America's Hitler".
13% : Walz got better later into the night - particularly when he pushed Vance on whether Trump lost the 2020 election, a question that Vance dodged - but he was largely robotic and charmless, a man out of his depth.
