[Mr. Blue Sky]

Tell him Kamala!!!

****ing love her

 

[MT15]

He’s not answered a single question yet, he is going well over his time limits and he is interrupting, just not in as obnoxious a way as Trump

 

[Ayo]

Agree. Harris sounds like she might cry or yell any moment. Harris blew the first response by not calling out Pence for answering the 2.5x more than Canada question.

Yea, she is really trying to hit one note too often without adding much. Pence is holding serve pretty well, but I have no idea how people generally will see his dispassionate demeanour.

 

[superchuck500]

Pence: Yeah, 35 people got Covid there but 65 didn’t, so, what’s the big deal?

I get the whole attack on Covid approach but she needs to talk more about the current state of the outbreak and where we’re going. Talking over and over about stuff that happened in January and February isn’t effective after a point.

Biden is a plagiarist? What was Pence referring to?

Don't quite remember specifics but happened during his '88 Presidential run.

 

[B4YOU]

Pence going back to Covid and not respecting the moderator is just dumb.

 

[First Time Poster]

Missed opportunity by Kamala. She should have beat him over the head with that super spreader event.

"How can we trust this Administration to protect the country when they can't even protect themselves?"

 

[Ayo]

He’s not answered a single question yet, he is going well over his time limits and he is interrupting, just not in as obnoxious a way as Trump

No, he hasn't. But in debates, I never really expect that to happen. It's more about optics than content and I think Trump helped him.

By making such an arse out of himself, Trump lowered the bar for Pence so that he doesn't actually have to do much.

Pence going back to Covid and not respecting the moderator is just dumb.

He got a few quality jabs in.

 

[GrandAdmiral]

Has Pence answered an asked question yet?

 

[B4YOU]

He got a few quality jabs in.

Kamala should have insisted on a follow up. She is missing layups.

 

[bdb13]

She's doing fine but Pence is good at this.. views of this one likely will just split on party lines.

 

[LA - L.A.]

The strongest debate strategy is not to try to persuade people in 2 minute intervals over 90 minutes. People have short attention spans and memories, the debates aren't as important as the advertising blitzes running right up to the day of the election.

Which is why the key to the debate is getting stronger material for future ads. Pence may be winning the battle of the debate, but what he's saying is going to cost them more of a loss on the advertising front.

The debates are the set up for the more influential advertising blitzes.

All of these moments that Harris missed tonight will be hammered with advertising. So the question after this is over is who will get hammered the hardest over the next few weeks?

 

[First Time Poster]

Has Pence answered an asked question yet?

No, but Kamala is letting him slide at doing it.

 

[gummbo]

paint dances around these questions like he’s a ballet dancer

 

[Saint by the Bay]

Much like Joe, Kamala seems unprepared for the things they knew full well he’d say. Both of them are doing a poor job actually answering questions.

 

[superchuck500]

Strong pivot to taxes right here

 

[Neworleansfan]

Nice one senator Harris about Trump’s tax.
