For a while I could not understand why Harris chose Walz as her VP, and while Trump chose Vance as his.
On Friday, 10/13, during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), the Democrat vice-presidential nominee, was asked about the squeeze being put on the middle class amid a time of high inflation. According to Walz, price gouging was a significant factor in higher prices. He also cited “false information” at the grocery store for the higher costs (Breitbart).
ABC: What do you say to voters who blame Kamala for the sky-high prices of the past four years?
WALZ: “Going to the grocery store, you see false information.”
I do not know what this Walz-jibberish means! When I go to the grocery store I see the prices that are posted for each item. This is not false! It is right there. I can see it with my own eyes!
Meanwhile on ABC’s This Week, on Sunday, 10/15 the Republican senator from Ohio fired back in response to a comment by Martha Raddatz that only a “handful” of Aurora apartment complexes had seen Venezuelan gang activity. Trump has been accused of overstating the dangers members of the gang Tren de Aragua posed to the city. At a rally in Aurora on Friday evening, Trump vowed to go after criminal migrants nationwide and to name the operation to send them to their native countries after the city in what he called “Operation Aurora” (Mediaite).
ABC’s Martha Raddatz: “The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes… A handful.”
Vance: “Do you hear yourself? Only a HANDFUL of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem”
Vance adeptly turned the tables on Raddatz. (This clip is well worth watching.)
Whomever is elected President in November, if something were to happen to that person, the VP would take over. Compare their individual responses to an ABC interviewer. Who is more qualified? Would you rather have Walz’s jibberish or Vance’s thoughtful response when the VP-> President is face to face with Putin, Kim Jong Un, or Xi Jinping?
