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.

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.

Why?
I think a lot of the others were good, but neither side was willing to answer

The policy content from the debate:

Not a lot, only a few points that can be read through in a few minutes.

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

That is precisely why.

Watching a live debate between my congressman Steve Chabot and his challenger Kate Schroeder. It's a good debate and they are actually answering the questions asked.

Also someone commented that it was "a fly of color."
