VP Debate Recap: Mike Pence Eviscerates the Biden-Harris Campaign
[PJ] Vice President Mike Pence dissected each of the arguments for Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, during the vice-presidential debate. Pence schooled Harris on issues ranging from the coronavirus pandemic to packing the Supreme Court to the Green New Deal and from China to the riots to the false "white supremacy" attacks on Trump.

Pence treated both Harris and USA Today’s Susan Page (the moderator) with grace, although he did speak beyond the time he was allotted. Harris also did so, and it appeared that Page cut Pence off more frequently than she cut off Harris. Harris, frequently a prickly debater, came off as very condescending.

Some legacy media outlets may claim that Pence hogged the stage, but according to CNN, the two vice-presidential candidates spoke for almost exactly the same amount of time, 36 minutes.

#1 To Democrats, a Republican getting to speak the same amount of time as the Democrat is the very definition of his hogging the stage.

#2 She was clueless, rattled, and smirking. She was outgunned and knew it very soon into the debate. On the other hand, Pence looked poised, gentlemanly, and presidential.

#3 Look for several other articles (all opinions) and you'll find Pence won only because he's so boring compared to Trump, Kamala won because she had to conform to male rules (or something), cororavirus won because OrangeManBad, Pence did OK because he didn't lie as much as Trump, Pence won on issues, Kamala won on issues, and so on and on and on.

#4 This was a no-brainer (if not "no line at Vegas"). Pence is one, cool cookie and knows his egesta about many things, in particular, China.

#5 Watched about 10 mins. and in my opinion.

Harris was smug, condescending, snarky and displayed a lack leadership skills or talent for the position she hopes to obtain.

As we all know Leadership skills and not Take a Knee Skills must be a focus. Because IF the LSD's win, we know Harris and Nancy will be the actual President Admin in less than a year into any Biden Admin.

BTW:
Her demeanor, false/fake facts and comments came off as if she were auditioning for a seat on The View for after the election.

#6 /\ Smug, condescending California VP 2020 candidate quite similar to the smug, condescending Illinois presidential candidate of 2008 and 2012.

#7 from what i can see, the takeaway for the leftists is that a fly landed on Pence's head

#8 And don't forget all the coordinated comments about the mansplaining!

#9 She was clueless, rattled, and smirking.

I accidentally watched a couple minutes of the debate. Ms Harris appeared to be high on something.

#10 I watched a few minutes of it and I'll charitably describe Harris as an ugly, vile coont.

Really. My first take-away is the girls were on a first name basis. Then I noticed Harris' pearl necklace.

#13 Dang, you're right about the fly.

Apparently it outperformed Harris, and Pence still didn't flinch at it.

#15 Did they wait until the debate was over?

Because it looked like she went all 49rs in the 4th quarter.

#16 Pence delivered some great lines last night. It's hard for me to decide which I liked the best.

There was the part where he said Biden's covid-19 plan to has all the same things that Trump has already done..."It's like plagiarism which Biden should know something about."

ZING!!!

Then there was, "You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts."

Now the liberal media accuse Pence of "mansplaining". So from now on, any time a man says anything to a woman he is mansplaining which is probably stopping just short of misogyny. Riiiggghhht.

Pence was cool, calm, armed with facts and a very quick wit. Harris was smug and deceitful. She behaved like a naughty junior high school girl repeating lies that she heard from her naughty little friends. It's easy to see why Democrat primary voters never gave her more than single digit percentages. It's easy to imagine this woman getting her start in politics by allowing Willie Brown to have his way with her because it's so hard to see her getting anywhere any other way.

#17 Channeling Mel Brooks' Robin Hood:

Did you say Abe Lincoln?


The summoning of John McCain's ghost was cringey; the worst was the whole because your web site doesn't say science! you must be anti-science skit which came out like someone pushing noodles through a garden hose.
