Hint: VP Pence got the shortened times


Also, Mod used a softer voice when trying to interrupt harris than she die with Pence
While watching it live it seemed like Harris was going on for a long time. I thought it was just because she was boring and had nothing to say.

Since Hillary didn’t win, all we have to go on is what she had to say three years before the pandemic actually arrived. She would have been prepared and had a plan in place to meet it head on.

Makes you wonder a bit at what Trump was doing for the last three years. It obviously had nothing to do with planning ahead for predictable contingencies.

Meanwhile in reality....after Trumps disaster of a debate performance he needed Pence to knock it out of the park. And he didn't. Theres nothing in this debate that will change votes-and Trump desperately needed it too. People are voting. And right now Trumps losing by most measures.
Poll above says otherwise.

Unfortunately Kamala hates blacks unless she’s locking them up, so she doesn’t know anything about what black people would like.

I will say this though. Kamala could have done a total KO regarding Covid-19 if she would have asked why Taiwan and South Korea, couunyries that are more densely populated than the US and closer to the origin of the outbreak, were able to get a handle of Covid-19 and had a much lower mortality rate than the US.
Yes. Islands and peninsulas with compliant, homogenous cultures and a massive infrastructure spying on their population. That's a stupid comparison.

Pence should have said we are pretty similar to all of western Europe. We would be better if not for New York and New Jersey sending patients back to nursing homes.

I take it you haven’t looked at the poll in this thread.

Hint: Pence won.

You're own fellow Democrats can't say much other than a fly landed on Pence!

That's all they can say on social media. Do you really feel the need to lie? Harris got smoked. Pence got a fly.

It amounted to a one-hour infomercial. Too bad Donnie wasn’t feeling well enough to hold one himself.

It was a bloodbath. Trump is the only one who can get away with the continual distractions and changing the subject...anyone else trying it get quickly exposed and looks absolutely foolish, like Pence tonight.

Climate Change

His failure to address these will not resonate well with a majority of Americans.
He doesn't support domestic terrorism, the Democrats do.
