Kamala Harris put in a terrible performance at last night’s Vice Presidential debate, often appearing robotic and repeating memorised “facts” that blatantly contradicted things Joe Biden had said in last week’s debate.
Harris also appeared lost and confounded whenever Mike Pence interrupted her to point out such inconsistencies, as if she had been thrown off course from reading a script.
A prime example off this occurred when Harris claimed that Biden is not going to raise taxes, to which Pence pointed out that last week Biden himself promised to repeal Trump’s tax cuts.

Pence then eloquently explained the Trump administration’s comprehensive tax plans:

On Coronavirus, Harris declared that “frankly this administration has forfeited their right to re-election because of this,” but then outlined the Biden-Harris plan, which Pence pointed out is pretty much exactly the same as the Trump administration’s, adding the zinger “It looks a little like plagiarism, which Joe Biden knows a little something about.”

Pence also noted that when Trump prevented flights from China in January, Biden labeled it “xenophobic.”
When Pence framed the debate by saying the American people have bravely fought against the virus, Harris got riled and snapped:

Pence tore Obamacare apart, leaving Harris defenseless:

On the climate, Pence declared that The Green New Deal, sponsored by Harris, “would crush” American energy, while noting that “The US has reduced CO2 more than the countries that are in The Paris Accord.”
When Harris noted that Biden will not ban fracking, Pence pointed out that “Both of you repeatedly committed to banning fossil fuel and banning fracking.”

When the debate turned to China, Harris accused Trump of losing the trade war with China, to which Pence shot back “You said Trump lost a trade war with China, Joe Biden never fought one.”
The Vice President also labelled Biden “a cheerleader for communist China.”

When the debate turned to the Supreme Court, Pence asked if Democrats would pack the court, a question which Harris first attempted to avoid, then eventually had to address:

Harris claimed that “Trump packed the district courts with white people!” prompting Pence to explain what the straight answer to his question is:

Donald Trump Jr chimed in on Twitter, explaining why Harris avoided the question:
Of course Kamala Harris will not answer the question about packing the court because that’s what they plan on doing. When the Democrats can’t get their way they will change the rules to push their leftist agenda. They’re not even pretending anymore.
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 8, 2020
The final zinger came when the debate turned to the topic of transfer of power, should Democrats win. Harris urged voters “Please vote. Vote early,” where as Pence noted that the Democrats have “spent the last three and a half years trying to overturn the results of the last election.”

Harris’ performance was so dire that the leftist media immediately played the ‘sexism’ card:

Pence's mansplaining, interrupting, condescending and general smarminess is at an 11 tonight.
No wonder suburban women have left the Republican Party in droves.#Debates2020

So how do y’all think this mansplaining, rule-breaking, interrupting, patronizing performance by Pence plays with women voters? #VPDebate

Men literally can't even debate women *in a formal debate* without it being labeled "mansplaining" https://t.co/6HiQzSWtG4

Some were not buying it though:

The same women who say they want equality are the first ones to complain about mansplaining or cry sexism. #Equality

I can’t wait for Amy Coney Barrett hearings when interrupting a female nominee will no longer be mansplaining and sexist.

All true, BUT assessing Harris was a key decision point for undecideds.
She lost, we gained. In house accurate polling will show it and campaigns will verify with their changes in campaign strategy. 2nd debate switcheroo may be the first of those changes in strategy.
MSM polling of course won’t reflect indies moving right. Growing Biden leads are intended to discredit actual vote tallies to add credence to cries of ‘Trump cheated’.
Who remembers Chuck Todd claiming that exit polling was more accurate ?
Seeing as Biden said he would choose a black female for his VP, they can't "Eagleton" her. She was already the lesser of about 5 evils.
In Democrat speak, going back to the higher tax rates is not a tax increase, it is just going back to the standard rates.
Biden needs to clarify his cut off for taxes at $400,000 level.
Is he talking about GROSS income or Net Taxable income???
I seriously doubt that he even knows the difference.
“Harris did a good job last night.”
Guess I was watching a different debate.
