"It's really rich for democratic leaders to say..." <- this is a setup to support the lie that follows. It's like the "everyone knows" and "lots of people are saying". It's passive aggressive and indicates an unwillingness to actually discuss a topic.
vance isn't witless, he's complicit. republican leaders have all knowingly opted in to lying about the 2020 election in order to STEAL power by convincing their voters that the election was stolen. republicans have lied to their constituents for decades - this is not new.
I think Vance didn’t have a good option here. Trump has been known to send a mob to hang VPs who respect democracy by the neck until dead; the fact that his mob failed spectacularly one time is no guarantee.
What does it profit a man to win the debate, but lose his own life?
Just thinking here ... Nice that Trump has given us a quick, easy litmus test for determining if someone is susceptible to cult leadership even if it means betrayal of their family, neighbors, and country.
I hope they are working on one in which he says over and over that he agrees with much of what Walz is saying interspersed with his hard right campaign rhetoric that asks how we can trust him ever.

Anything he says will become campaign fodder.
You can bet the Trump campaign is not happy about the VP debate.
The trap is obvious, and Vance is witless, but it's nicely executed.
