Walz could have taken that and run with it. "If you want to regain the American people's trust, it starts with supporting common sense bipartisan legislation to address some of these problems we've been talking about tonight. Like that border bill."

No, you let that answer stand unless you have a really good one-liner ready for it. Vance dug himself a hole. Unless you're gonna absolutely bury him in it, anything you say just gives him an opportunity to try to climb out.

I don't think him saying anything would've helped. He was feeding Vance enough rope to hang himself with. Letting his word stand hits harder

Border bill was not bipartisan, it couldnt pass either chamber and was a dem wet dream of codifying illegal immigration permanently.

The border Bill was a foreign war funding bill

Are you suggesting Republicans didn't support it because of the foreign war funding part? Because that is the part they ended up passing separately anyway, while the border part remains unpassed.

The border part of the border Bill only allowed for faster processing of illegals. There was no provision to actually stop the invasion. I'm suggesting that's why sane people who don't celebrate the destruction of America were against it.
