Being obnoxious to Harris and the moderator is unlikely to persuade women.

Just sayin'

And what would be wrong if either Pence or Harris cried during the debate, it would make them more human.

In Argentina, the voters are in awe of a political candidate that can cry in public.

I thought Kamala and Mike both made good points through-out the debate, but Mike lied several times. I understand he wants to be loyal to Trump, but so many lies concerning their administration. This administration does not put environmental regulations first, in fact Trump rolled back water regulations, removed accountability for carbon emissions and increased logging on blm land. Terrible on covid response, never came up with a solid healthcare plan and the tax cut put us further in debt.

Kamala did better than I was expecting. She had concrete points and emphasized important changes she and Joe would make, if elected. She did not do well though by not condemning the violence and riots (she referred to them as peaceful protests), she didn't answer about packing the courts and looked condescending when scolding Mike for not allowing her to finish making her points.

Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.

Markey’s former Senate primary opponent, Rep. Joe Kennedy III (D-Mass.), reiterated his argument, writing in a tweet Saturday, “If he [McConnell] holds a vote in 2020, we pack the court in 2021. It’s that simple.â€
Quote:
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) took to Twitter on Saturday to join the chorus of Democrats supporting the idea of an increase in Supreme Court justices.

“If Sen. McConnell and @SenateGOP were to force through a nominee during the lame-duck session — before a new Senate and President can take office — then the incoming Senate should immediately move to expand the Supreme Court,†the New York Democrat wrote on the social media platform.
I found those in under one minute.

Tax cuts don't cause debts. Overspending does.

Did you see that Republican drone fly land on white hair Pence. It was supposed to land behind his ear.

King Donald kept pinging me during the debate, for money .
Who is "King Donald?"

Must be someone from a different country because this country has Presidents, not Kings.
