Ignorant, lying, coward. Also the way his body shape is leaning: cow-ward

trump stance, maybe he's wearing trump lifts?

It's because (like all authoritarian dildos) he has an ego larger than he deserves and can't look inward for anything.

I think the reports of Vance having "won" are greatly overstated:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2024/10/02/tim-walz-jd-vance-polls-both-candidates-favorability-increases-post-debate/

42% vs. 41%? That's well within the margin of error, LOL.

What are your numbers supposed to mean? From your article:

Prior to the debate, a New York Times/Siena College poll released Sept. 28 found Midwestern voters prefer Walz to Vance: Walz was viewed favorably by 44% of voters and unfavorably by 41%, while Vance was viewed favorably by 42% of voters and unfavorably by 48%.

So 44% like Walz, 42% like Vance. 41% dislike Walz, 48% dislike Vance. Comparing 42 and 41 is comparing two different things

42%. That’s how many debate viewers in the CBS poll thought Vance was the winner of the debate, compared to 41% who thought Walz won. Seventeen percent of viewers said the debate ended in a tie.

That’s some serious small dick energy
