Vice presidential debates are rarely as thrilling as the showdowns between the two people running for commander-in-chief.

But Wednesday’s faceoff between Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris and Vice President Mike Pence in Salt Lake City, Utah, is taking on heightened importance.

With 74-year old President Trump and 77-year old Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden being the oldest standard bearers ever to lead the Democratic and Republican national party tickets, the vice presidential debate was already consequential – with both running mates seen as presidents in waiting.

But with Trump in isolation at the White House -- after spending three days hospitalized at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after being diagnosed with COVID-19 -- the debate has surged even further in importance.

I’m happy Pence got his dander up over this debunked slander of disrespecting the armed forces.

BE MEAN MIKE, BE MEEEEEEEEEEEANN!!!

Traditionally, the President is expected to act "presidential" and the VP is assigned "Attack Dog" duties.

Pence was chosen largely because he is the epitome of sobriety and measured response, with both executive and congressional experience, and considerably younger. The perfect complement to the president.

You don't ask your singles hitter to swing for the fences. You let him do what he is best at, making contact and getting on base.

[Pravious]

Are there actually Freepers who think she’s not being taken apart in this thing? Sure, the moderator is biased, but it’s not enough.

I agree. And the vile bitch looks like she’s about to cry any minute.

[prairiebreeze]

LOL yep

Harris says Pence insulted her that she isn’t a person a faith. not that he did, but he’s getting under her skin.

[eyedigress]

Yes he is.

[j.havenfarm]

I’m not even a Pence guy. I wanted Senator Cotton. However I admire his character and abilities and he’s doing just great, including refusing to be blind too tightly by the parameters of the debate

[Jane Long]

Eeeeewwww....did you see that Joker’s smile she did when Commie said that ‘If elected, Joe will only be the 2nd practicing Catholic, elected’.

SO creepy.
