At the end of the Vance–Walz debate I thought, I wish those two were the ones running for president.

Their debate was like a flashback to an earlier time – both men threw punches, got punched, but did it in a courteous way. Without meanness.

An old niceness we haven’t seen for a while in a presidential election reappeared.

Will niceness last? Let’s keep our fingers crossed. Meantime we owe both Vance and Walz a word of thanks.
