Mike Pence wins vice-presidential debate!

[saxitoxin]

Everyone is raving about what a great job Mike Pence did destroying Kamala Harris, who looked totally unprepared tonight behind her plexiglass fortress. Great job, Mike Pence!

It looks bad to announce a "decision" before the contest ("debate") even begins. Period.

He looks to be more rational than Trump was. I don't think I've heard him speak much before. She seems very coherent too, but when he tells her that "she's entitled to her own opinion, but not her own facts", I need her to say something about where the phrase "alternative facts" came from.

very refreshing to see somewhat of an actual "debate", as opposed to insults being hurled & two old farts constantly trying to talk over one another...there is still hope.

Kamala Harris failed to respond to the Vice-President's point that under Biden's watch, 60 million Americans got swine flu ... imagine if swine flu was as deadly as COVID, we would have 2 million dead. All she could do was make faces from the side. It turns out she's a total lightweight, not qualified to hold Rat governor Gavin Newsom's jockstrap (who is, incidentally, President Trump's step-son-in-law).

I knew Pence would get an A+ in this debate, but I didn't think he'd possibly get an A++ and he managed to deliver!

Here's a good short documentary about Kamala Harris that was just released ---

Just before the debate, the Commander-in-Chief released an important statement about COVID.

OMG, how come nobody told me there was a brand new season of Archer happening? llama = out.

If we needed any PROOF that saxi is unwilling to wait for facts and events to occur before he makes and posts an opinion (on this, and maybe other, political matter), saxi showed us his true colors.

Pence defeated the China-backed candidate!

I have to agree with most of what Llama says here. The debate was relatively civil, we heard a good discussion of major points, ideas, and issues; also, interruptions were at a minimum.

Both Harris and Pence made good points and both ignored key questions directed at them. It was good to hear a civil and respectful discussion by two candidates who have opposing points of view on many and most issues.

Will there be a second presidential debate? That seems uncertain to me, at this time.

There are a lot of reports coming in from people in the audience that Kamala had serious body odor.

There are a lot of reports coming in from people in the audience that Kamala had serious body odor.

There are a lot of reports from flies in the audience that Pence smelled like shit.

Maybe that was from all the shit coming out of his mouth.

Reports indicate the fly escaped the cobwebs of her old lady vagina.

Weird to think she and Melania are the same age but only Kamala has five turkey necks.

Do you have any sense of humor at all?

kamela wiped the floor with pence

There was no real contest in the vice-presidential debate between Kamala Harris and Mike Pence. Harris wiped the floor with him. Pence ignored, patronized and talked over the two women in the room. Her strategy was cool competence. His was sexist entitlement.

This debate was less high-pitch without Donald Trump ranting and raving on stage. But it was frustrating in its own way – especially for any woman who has ever been in a room with an interjecting, condescending man. Pence repeatedly interrupted Harris, something she rarely did to him; he repeatedly talked over moderator Susan Page of USA Today when she told him his time was up; he repeatedly flouted the rules he had previously agreed to. The disrespect of women was tangible, and it happened over and over.

Harris had no such leeway to bulldoze either her opponent or the moderator. As a black woman on the national stage, she knew she had to walk a thread-thin line: Be likable, but authoritative; strong, but not “aggressive”. Interrupting Pence or even Page posed serious – and sexist – consequences with an electorate that has never seen a woman in the White House. But for better or worse, Harris is used to the Trump circus, and so she walked that tightrope deftly. She was tough, assertive, funny and charming, while Pence was patronizing and stiff.
