    I thought Vance won the debate (mostly through Gish galloping), but I’m not sure it’s going to matter. The big moment of the evening was him being muted for aggressively talking over two women, and it wasn’t a great look. I’m sure it played well to Trump’s base of incels who hate journalists, but I doubt anyone else found it very appealing.

      I loved that they repeatedly tried to get him to stop talking so they could talk but he kept going, got muted, and you could still hear him continuing to talk in the background, and when he realized he was muted he got louder in the background to try to be heard by more microphones anyway

        Yeah, considering how bad their campaign did with abortion, cat ladies, and misogynistic bullshit, my gut says this moment did some damage.
