I agree with that. It didn’t feel like a win, it felt like a draw. It felt like Vance wriggled and wormed his way out of answering anything, and Walz was overly charitable.

I get that’s how Walz is—he’s the nice dad—but nobody will remember that he was nice (except neurodivergent people like me). People want clear winners, and they’ll remember that neither of them won, and that’s a problem if you’re trying to energize your base to turn out to vote.
