The VEEP debate

[Mik]

I am not wild about Pence, who is a better governor than VP. But Harris just offends me in so many ways.

(I'm finding Harris's smirks annoying)

And Pence won't shut up.

Interesting for me listening to it from the internet radio. Not seeing them is a good thing.

So far: I agree - VP Pence is talking over his time quite a bit.

Both: typical politician speak of avoiding the question directly to get their "talking point" in.

[Loki]

Pence is crushing expectations and more on point.

[Mik]

Harris is babbling.

[Loki]

She is a little rattled. I’m surprised.

[jon-nyc]

I wonder if Pence realizes that the trade deficit with China is at a 14 year high.

[George K]

Harris is, politely, telling Pence to shut up.

Good for her - following the rules.

The facts of whether she's right or wrong, however....

[jon-nyc]

That’s a reach, babe.

[Loki]

Obamacare is not a disaster Mr Pence according to the public. Maybe constitutional?

@George-K said in The VEEP debate:

Harris is complaining about the $2T deficit because of tax cuts?

Has she spoken to Pelosi?

Harris' complain is that $2T deficit from the tax cut is a wealth transfer to the rich and to the large corporations. This is not a problem with Pelosi/House Democrats' pandemic stimulus plan.

Questioner: Do you believe in climate change?

VP Pence: Umm, we will continue to listen to science (When did that start?????)

PS: They do need a microphone muting function for the questioner (to mute the two candidates).

[jon-nyc]

Somehow Pence comes off more dickish talking over Susan Page than Trump did talking over Wallace.

And Biden won’t stop fracking. Not a great retort. And we are reducing co2 more than countries following the accord and no retort to that.

Not my take and I am not a fan of Pence.

[jon-nyc]

Partly because she’s a woman (Page) and partly because people don’t have such low expectations of Pence.

[taiwan_girl]

I dont think I will be able to listen to the whole thing as a meeting to attend.

First half impression: This will not change anybody mind. Neither are doing terrible, but neither are doing great.

[Loki]

Harris is now worried about the economy. And blames on Trump. Gee does anyone not see the elephant in the room. Who demanded we shut down the economy?

[jon-nyc]

Anyone know who helped them prepare? Who played Kamala for Pence and vice versa?

[Loki]

Betrayed our friends and embraced despots. Good call out Kamala

[Loki]

Kamala is relying on canned talking points and it shows.
