McCaskill: ‘We Need to Lower Expectations a Little Bit’ for the VP Debate; Vance ‘Will Be Articulate’ and Prepared

Wallace: “OK, dive in. The debate, what’s your advice?”

McCaskill: “Yeah, I’m just a little worried about the expectations game at this point. I think people — yes, J.D. Vance has said some really, I think, disqualifying things about women and how he views people and their role in life. But he will be articulate and he will be prepared and he will be better than Trump was. And I think it’s — it’s really going to be a challenge for Tim Walz to be able to counter what he is going to bring, and at the same time stay really likable and relatable, and then also instill confidence in the American people that he’s the better one to be in the wings in case something were to happen to the president. So, I just think we need to lower expectations a little bit, because then we can all be pleasantly surprised if I’m wrong and that Tim Walz just mops the floor with him the same way Kamala Harris mopped the floor with Donald Trump. I do think it would be funny if he had — could figure out a way to do it. You know, J.D. Vance has been lecturing women about what they should and shouldn’t do to be happy in their lives in ways that are disgusting. And one of the ways he said is you need to stay in your marriage. Well, I wonder if he’s had that discussion with Donald Trump. Because Donald Trump has switched out for a younger, prettier woman with adultery not once, but twice in his life and then committed all kinds of adultery on top of that. So, when J.D. Vance is lecturing people, I hope Tim figures out a way to say have you tried lecturing your boss on this thing that you’re trying to do the women of America that maybe he ought to figure out how to quit switching out wives like other men change shirts?”
