      Well - we're moving firmly into the era of "if you have the votes, do it".

        ACB makes it far more likely.

        Impossible without that appointment

            My summary:

            • a better debate than last week, for what little that’s worth

            • both sides managed to say what they needed to say to not upset or disappoint their people

            • this changes nothing, like every other VP debate.

                If Biden wasted his first year on packing the Supreme Court it would as bad as Obama with single payer. Obama proceeded to lose the house, the senate and governorships following.

                  As if the fucking debates weren't already like horror movies. Now, there's a fly crawling into his orifices like he's a freaking Nazgul.

                  I was only joking

                    [Satire.]

                    Daily Beast: Honest Headline Shut Us Down

                    "We had nothing to lose," said one editor, "so we decided to take a flyer and tell the truth." DB's website was down for 17 minutes as a shocked America tuned in to witness the phenomenon. "Knocked the crap out of our servers," he added.

                    The headline? VEEP DEBATE AS BORING AND POINTLESS AS POLLS PREDICTED IT WOULD BE. "Nothing to see here," the lede said.

                    "Well, except for the fly," said Ernest Schlachtman of Biloxi, Mississippi in a man-on-the-street interview.

                    Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace. – Mike Ditka

                      No idea if this is true or not.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                        This is fly-related but a serious comment so I’m posting here.

                        The Trump campaign hasn’t been able to come up with a single humorous spin on the fly yet. My guess is by the end of the day they’ll settle on Rand’s deep state joke.

                          Nah. When asked who won the debate, many wags are giving a list of placing:

                          1. Pence
                          2. the fly
                          3. Harris

                              Turley sums it up:

                              Overall I thought both Harris and Pence did well though I would have liked fewer smirks from one and fewer overruns from the other. The problem is that the lack of follow up questions resulted in little more than rote answers. This was a debate that was more about the delivery than scrutiny of the candidates. Both made comments that could have been seriously challenged but were brushed aside for the next topic. Moderators need to be able to cover less in order to uncover more with followup questions.

                              In the end, the most notable performance was the fly. It showed everything that was missing in the debate: spontaneity, clarity of position, and ability to adapt.

                                @George-K I agree. I think that they should allow the moderators to challenge the candidates.

                                My most response last night Would have been: “You didn’t answer the question I asked, so I will ask it again”

                                  The only question that mattered much last night was the last one from the eighth grader. Pence responded to the question with praise for the American system and the ability, indeed the right, to disagree. Harris used it to pitch for a vote.

                                          That's because it's by politico. A leftwing trash rag that knows Pence kicked her ass.
