The last VP debate I watched had three people. Pence needs to win this and do it in a way Trump can't.

I'm already half drunk so it should be fun.

Hell, isn't that a prereq for political circus?

So far, way more polite and less interrupting.

They both suck

Forgot about it, put up a YT stream and took one look at the smug look on Harris's face and had to turn it off.

More polite, but they keep doing split screens showing Harris smirking and making faces through each of Pence's segments. I've only just started watching and am just fast forwarding through getting snippets.

The moderator is writing Nacy Pelosi's biography. I think Pence is doing pretty good considering her slanted questions which are basically "Why did Trump screw up?" to Pence and "How would Biden fix things? to Harris.

It is much better, hardly any cross-talk.
I still think they should cut one mic for those 2 uninterrupted minutes that start each segment at the very least.

They don't answer the question

Get the dang fly off your head Mike!

I thought Pence has done a much better job of being direct, but not every time. Harris keeps running away from every direct question like the one on if they will try to stack the SC. IMO, the main points which Harris makes that seem good are all long ago debunked "facts". It might work with some I guess.

I will be curious to see what the speaking time allowances are for each one, before and after the first time the moderator tried to stop them.

Overall I think Pence is doing a good job of being the complete opposite of Trump.

Crap can't take the lies

MillCreek · « **Reply #11 on:** October 07, 2020, 10:30:42 PM »

I am disappoint that neither of them directly answered on the peaceful transfer of power.

I managed about 5 minutes of watching Harris and couldnt stomach it. I'll get the analysis off youtube.

So I'm not the only one who can't tolerate Harris. I won't even try to watch her performances.

MillCreek · « **Reply #14 on:** October 08, 2020, 08:25:41 AM »

The Twitterverse this morning is all about the fly.

Ben · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2020, 08:31:23 AM »

From looking at the various online synopses this morning, I guess I wasn't the only one who quickly got sick of Harris's constant smirking and making faces like a teenage girl.

Also apparently AOC is very upset that Pence called her AOC during the debate.

Just saw a headline that CNN scored it 59% for Harris and 38% for Pence. I guess that means Pence scored a knockout, right?

Fly320s · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2020, 08:54:09 AM »

Coworker says Harris answered nearly all of the questions while Pence only answered one question.

I thought Pence answer the questions well and remained calm and reserved the whole time. I thought he did very well. Harris doesn't debate well IMO.

I keep trying to watch some of it but every time I see Harris's smirking smug face my blood pressure goes through the roof

Ron · « **Reply #22 on:** October 08, 2020, 09:50:48 AM »

I listened on the radio through the first 10 minutes then pulled the plug, unbearable.

The debates are useless for Republicans IMHO, other than to show how well (or not) they perform against the odds.

The moderators are always a disaster.

The consensus among sources I trust is Pence won if you are polling sane people.

Harris won if you are infantile and low IQ.

As far as voting goes the dem controlled public schools have largely taken care of the latter, the dems are actively working on giving the right to vote to the former

Wait, what?

Every woman knows that condescending sexist man who repeatedly calls you by your name as a way to be disdainful and patronizing when he's talking to you and I don't know what the term for that is but it is A Thing and Mike Pence is doing it to Susan Page.
