Pete Buttigieg stands in as Mike Pence for Kamala Harris's debate practice
The Hill ^ | 10/01/2020 | BY J. EDWARD MORENO

Posted on 10/01/2020 7:52:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Pete Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential hopeful, has played the role of Vice President Pence in mock debates with Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), according to Bloomberg.

The choice to cast Buttigieg reportedly came because of his familiarity with Pence, who was governor of Indiana when Buttigieg was mayor of South Bend.

After virtually tying with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in the Iowa caucuses, Buttigieg dropped out of the Democratic primary days before Super Tuesday, promptly throwing his support behind now-Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Harris and Pence will debate on Oct. 7 in Salt Lake City, which will be moderated by USA Today’s Susan Page. That debate comes a week after Biden and President Trump will debate in Cleveland, Ohio, on Sept. 29.

Harris, a former prosecutor, is known to perform well in debates, with conservatives often pointing to the time she accused Biden of siding with segregationist senators in the 1970s against federal requirements to bus Black children to predominantly white schools.

“He’s a good debater. So, I’m so concerned, like I can only disappoint,” Harris said of Pence at a fundraiser Monday, according to Bloomberg.

Harris’s debate prep is reportedly being led by Karen Dunn, an attorney at Paul Weiss, who was a campaign aide to Sen. Tim Kaine’s (D-Va.) team when he was the running mate of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Buttigieg eviscerates ‘professed Christian’ Pence as he stands in for Harris debate prep

To quote Buttigieg:

Pence is going to be in the position of defending the character of a president who got caught sending hush money to a porn star’

Buttigieg is hoping to be Harris’ VP when Biden succumbs.

So now we know what they intend to do. They want to make Pence look like a bad Christian for defending the President.

It won’t be about policy and anyone who thinks Kamala Harris will be civil is stupid.

The woman is a far left nut and a nasty ho who slept her way to the top with Willie Brown.

They also know Pence is too nice to tell her that.

Hey Mike, take me to the debate. I will say it for you!

“Pence is going to be in the position of defending the character of a president who got caught sending hush money to a porn star’”

When that happens, Pence wil go after Harris on Willie Brown.

Perhaps it will be a display of just how nasteeeee she really is. Then again, her handlers will put a buzzer in her shoe to hit if she gets in to far. Butt, yeah, she be nasteeee. She and moooochie should have a chip contest to see which one has the bigger chip on their shoulder. For NO reason. Seems like both of them have done okay.

Followed up with, “You may have slept your way into Sacramento, but the American people will not let you sleep your way into the White House.”

Game, Set, Match.

Biden/Harris do not want to attack the morals of candidates. Opening that Pandora’s Box will go badly for them

"I can only disappoint,” Harris said

Team Biden: "Yeah, we know."

Pence will destroy her with a smile. He’s the perfect counter-balance to Trump.

yep I get the impression that she is mean and nasty.

I can’t exactly put my finger on her, but, apart from politics, she seems like an unlikeable personality. And if she gets in there and spews forth liberal nastiness and lack of decorum, she could turn off some voters.

Couldn’t think of someone who is not 180 degrees different than Mike Pence?

YouTube has been loading up on ads for Democratic fundraising featuring the gap toothed Stacey Abrams and Pete B. Why they would bank their fundraising efforts on these losers I do not know.

Maybe Pete Buttplug should wear one of these:

So the debate is going to be about Trump? We already know Harris won’t talk about their platform.
