Awful Kamala Harris Debate Performance Boosts Trump Reelection Chances
Summit.news ^ | Published 2 mins ago on 8 October, 2020 | Steve Watson

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:

just like that #VPDebate pic.twitter.com/YFs092Ypnx

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.”

President Trump took to Twitter to note the inconsistency:

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:

— Mike Pence (@Mike_Pence) October 8, 2020

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.”

Mike Pence is doing GREAT! She is a gaffe machine.

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

— Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) October 8, 2020

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.

Trump needs to hit the TV airwaves. Hard.
With this message:

Joe and/or his brain are not long for this world.
Elect Joe and she will be your POTUS within a year’s time.

Bludgeon them with that and the election is in the bag.

Even the very liberal Boston Globe, while grading both at C-, states, "Who performed better at the debate? No question: it was Pence. He was given a much weaker hand by his running mate and during the vice presidential debate presented a better defense of Trump’s tenure than any other Republican in America, especially Trump. He controlled time and topics and seemed to raise more questions about Biden’s record than Harris did about Trump’s record." - https://www.bostonglobe.com/2020/10/07/nation/scorecard-grading-debate-performances-mike-pence-kamala-harris/?s_campaign=breakingnews:newsletter

Thoughts:
Typical press; “Harris Boosts Trump’s Odds”
Like he couldn’t do it without her poor performance.

Next...
How many of Americans are still getting a paycheck and working from home?
Of those, how many will vote for Trump?
I’m pretty sure it WON’T be a 46%-46% split.

Of course, the MSM is harping on the CNN poll, which on the surface looks like an outlier. But I’ve pretty much given up on Americans in general being sensible or even smart. Biden should be nowhere in the neighborhood against Trump, yet the DEMs will easily fraud the system and pander to enough to steal the election.

As much as I agree with the premise that Pence won, the debate last night is already old news.

It will not have an iota’s worth of impact on the election. It is just the “event” of the day. We will have 20 more “events of the day” between now and election day.

Today, this is already over shadowed by the Commissions decision to change the format.

The news cycle is no longer measured in days or hours. Its minutes.

My wife had never heard Kamelhoe speak before. She had to turn off the debate. She could not believe what a nasty ho she is.

I told her she was nicer last night than I have ever seen her.

......sadly, I could not agree with you more...!! I am reminded of an old expression, may not have all the words right, but never underestimate the stupidity of the American people...this election should be a walk in the park for Mr. Trump, but there is every indication that through ballot fraud,, etc., it will be Biden’s victory in the end...
and contrary to what a lot of folks are saying, despite the eye rolls, smirks, shaking of her head, sighing, outright lying, etc, Harris did a good job last night... close your eyes and puke, but you can almost see her as “President Harris” at some point down the road....

“”Smug condescension apparently doesn’t sell.””

That fits very well - I haven’t been able to come up with anything that really is descriptive of how repugnant that woman is.

This will end speculation about her replacing Biden on the ticket.

....agree.... last night’s debate is indeed old news and to use a catchy expression of the day, it has not and will not “move the needle” one way or the other regarding the upcoming election....I doubt there are many people at this point who are truly in that nebulous “undecided” category...and if I read today’s news correctly that Mr. Trump will NOT participate in any virtual debate next week...said it would be a waste of time....I would agree with that ...!!

...close your eyes and puke, but you can almost see her as “President Harris” at some point down the road.

That just means we would be returning to the system used during the previous 28 years when the President wasn't really the President.

Trump has made a few moves toward becoming a real President and the Deep State is in a blind panic. They wan't a replacement - any replacement - who they can control again.

Harris did a good job last night.

No she did not. All she has was rehearsed lines. She proved at the very end that she could not think on her feet or even hold a coherent thought. The question was asked by a girl who wanted to know how to get beyond the arguments. Pence gave a great answer, vigorous debate and the unify is one of the strengths of America. All Harris had to do was agree and give her own summary.

Instead she did a mashup of Charlotesville and we need to "fight" and other pablum. She didn't answer the question or close her case. She flopped.
