Thoughts on VP debate...

Pence chose to answer the question of his choice.

Do you think this will irk voters or is it savvy debate strategy or both?

slightly better chance   ya    ok     i could see that maybe   still not an actual good chance  but better than now ya

Even the fly got bored on top of Pence's noggin.

In formal debates  Pence would have lost HUGE points!      HUGE!!

But here, where there is no panel of impartial judges with scorecards, assessing merits and comportment,

it was actually a WISE strategy by Pence -- especially given that Harris repeatedly failed with any strong counter-attack.   In effect, it's almost like "well if your opponent isn't going to call you out for cheating then why not cheat and see what you can get away with?!"

 I have HARRIS slightly ahead, but truly I was disappointed with her because she had such phenominal field position handed to her time after time yet failed to advance the ball.... She could have easily CRUSHED Pence....

I think she didn't want to look like the angry, nasty black woman.

However, my wife said women all across the country will love that she told Pence to basically shut up when she said "Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking."  

Neither addressed the "transfer of power" question & that's a big question for us all.

No mask on Karen Pence was a bad message to send the country.

Pence mopped the floor with her 

I like presidents who kill flies with their bare hands!

clearly harris outpointed pence in a close battle . any fool can see that .

this will be confirmed in coming commentary and post debate polls of americans watching    just like happened in bidens favor following last week

ABC's George Stephanopoulos (former press sec for Clinton):

"A lot of people were noticing some mansplaining going on tonight."

How beta of a male do you have to be to push talking points like this — my lord 

Neither Harris or moderator Susan Page uttered the words “impeach” or “impeachment” during the vice debate.

Looks like their focus groups didn’t look on the impeachment debacle favorably

CNN instant poll of debate watchers.

Audience *did* skew to Democrats, 38% to 29%

Harris won - 58%

Pence won - only 38%

*The winning margin is much larger than the skewed audience participation.

Plan for Preexisting conditions? "NEXT"

Why is America’s death toll and rate so high? "NEXT"

Peaceful transfer of power when we lose? "NEXT"

About 6 in 10 (59%) said Harris won,
while 38% said Vice President Mike Pence.

Those results roughly matched voters' expectations heading into the debate.
In interviews conducted before the debate, 61% of those same voters said
they expected Harris to win, 36% thought Pence would.

The CNN post-debate poll was conducted by SSRS by telephone and includes
interviews with 609 registered voters who watched the October 7 vice presidential
debate.

OK. That is currently on the CNN website.
This is what upsets me about *ALL* similar polls: when they choose not to
point out the inequities in the public sample by party affiliation!
David Chalian of CNN *did* point this out immediately when he reported the
results on air, that 38% of respondents indicated they were Democrat but only
29% identified as Republican. So he noted the results were slightly skewed.
BUT THE CNN WRITTEN ARTICLE DOESN'T POINT TO THIS AT ALL!!!
Obviously if you have twice as many Democrats in a sample or even 10% more,
it's no surprise which way the total score will lean.
It's UNFAIR and IMPROPER to report skewed stats without noting it!

But I repeat, ON AIR, CNN *did* make note of it...

He looked like he was going to pass out at any minute.  Had conjunctivitis (pink eye) one of the symptoms of the novel coronavirus! 

Lifetime REPUBLICAN, S.E. Cupp said of Pence's performance:

Who will play the kamikaze fly on SNL?

CNN instant poll results: (way ahead of FOX, of course)

*Repeating, 38% of sample size was Democrats and only 29% identified as Republican.

WHO WON among men who watched?

The fly was more honest than Pence.
