Pence Walks Away from the Debate a Clear Winner

It's not hard to see why Kamala Harris was polling at close to zero percent before she dropped out of the presidential race last December. She is deeply dishonest, lacks sincerity, and makes Hillary Clinton seem likeable. She refused to answer some of the most basic questions about her party's platform, including whether Biden would support more COVID shutdowns, or whether or not she favors the Green New Deal. She would not say if she would support restrictions on abortions or packing the court.

No amount of eye rolling, smirking, or duplicity from Harris could prevent Vice President Mike Pence from calmly swatting away all of her falsehoods and pointing to the president’s record of success on the virus, the economy, and on foreign affairs. Even the now infamous fly that found its way onto the vice president’s head was unable to faze him.

Harris began the Vice Presidential Debate by holding the Trump Administration personally responsible for all 210,000 deaths from COVID, as well as for the permanent closing of businesses and for the economic contraction that has led to a 7.9 percent unemployment rate. “The American people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country,” Harris said in her opening remarks.

After Pence strongly defended President Trump’s response to the virus, including his crucial decision to suspend travel from China in January, which bought the country time to develop vaccines and therapeutics, deliver billions of medical supplies, and ramp up testing (more than 115 million tests to date), the vice president landed one of his best lines of the night. “When you look at the Biden plan, it reads an awful lot like what President Trump and I,

Ok let's not go overboard.

Now that the dust has settled, and Chameleon Harris was revealed for the ideologue she has always been, the good solid virtues of Mike Pence shine even more brightly than before. The head of the Harris-Biden ticket managed to not answer any number of questions, by filibustering and turning the question aside, or ignoring it altogether.

Emotional appeals are not Harris’ strong suit.

Be honest, xp, you have to admit Harris’ voice is much more grating than Clinton’s. And that’s saying a lot

[Alas Babylon!]

What the article says is patently and objectively true.

Unfortunately, the DNCMedia is not saying this.

Go to MSN.com. Select News and then Elections 2020. 90% of the articles are opinion pieces by Leftwingers saying Kamalhoe actually won.

If The PIAPS had already gone to her infernal reward Harris could make me believe in reincarnation.

I'm not a connoisseur of grating voices but I'll take your word for it. I didn't watch any of the debates in 2016 and none this year either but however bad Harris is doesn't make H likeable.

The ratings have come in. It was the 2nd most watched vp debate in history. I think a lot of people got to see who won, and it wasn’t Harris.

I was surprised at the interest for the debate. Someone commented that watchers were checking out potential presidents. Biden is very old, and Potus was down with covid19. It seems in the end, VP Pence was judged far better presidential material than Harris.

I found it interesting that this was the 2nd most watched VP debate in history. I think a lot people think Biden would not make it through a full term.
Making this debate more important. We needed a win and Pence did it just by being himself. The rat MSM trying to claim Harris won this makes them look ridiculous

Like Scott Adams says, when all the Dems can talk about is the fly that landed on Pence’s head, that means they know they lost the debate. Not one word about what was debated.

Adams also said Pence will never get the credit for what an excellent debate that was, and it made Harris look less presidential, not more. I’m glad it was the 2nd most watched VP debate in history (after Palin’s).
