'It was clear that Mike Pence was the winner of tonight's confrontation,' pollster says...

Voters found Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris to be "abrasive and condescending" at various points throughout Wednesday's debate with Vice President Mike Pence, pollster Frank Luntz told the Fox News reaction panel.

"The complaint about Kamala Harris was that she was abrasive and condescending," said Luntz, who monitored the reactions of 15 undecided voters from eight battleground states throughout the evening.

"The complaint about Mike Pence was that he was too tired, but [he was] vice presidential, or presidential," added Luntz, who went on to say that "if this is a battle over style and substance -- which is often the case with undecided voters because they simply do not choose on policy, they also choose on persona -- this was Mike Pence’s night."

Luntz clarified that "it’s not that Pence did so well, it’s that they [voters] felt both candidates were not answering the questions as well as they would have liked."

Go for the jugular, Mr. Trump.

Flood the airwaves with reminders that if you elect Joe she’ll become POTUS within a year.

If you vote for Biden then you’re really voting for Harris.

Oh please. Maybe if Pence was given more than 15 seconds to answer most of his questions from the communist moderator.

Didn’t Tulso Grabbard tear Harris apart in the debates? What a choice the DNC went with.

I was speaking to a Left-of-Left nephew of mine last night. I do not doubt he will vote for Biden. But in our conversation he asked if I was watching the VP debate. He was. I said I was not, but why did he ask? He said that he thought Pence “is a pretty impressive guy”.

I answered - “well of course he is”.

(But then again, look who Pence was debating with.)

Sounds like undecided voters have an accurate picture of Harris. The more people see her, the less they like her.

It's fine, but who in the hell is this mythical undecided voter. Show me two of them and let's go through their backgrounds to find out exactly how undecided they are. I think you are allowed 3 choices: Trump side; Biden side; the whole system sucks and throw all of them out - the genuine libertarian/anarchist side. Note, anarchist means against all systems of rule, not let's burn the system down to support a Marxist dictatorship. That's not anarchy. That is totalitarianism.

An anarchist wants to burn down Parliament and leave a smoking hole in the ground. A Marxist wants to fill it with the cadres.

Harris showed herself as the prototypical diversity hire: unqualified and full of unpleasant emotional expressions to compensate.

Luntz still selling his undecided schtick? Who is still undecided today or just afraid to say who they are for?

Pence won it but not because she was condescending, she tried to cliche and lie her way through and Pence caught her.

Last night I watched the debate for like 2,3 seconds and turned away. I just can’t stand Kamala’s voice.

Even if that woman NEVER opened her mouth, she’d be a pain. I guess the faces she makes have gotten her where she wanted to be in the past. I couldn’t take more than 15 minutes of it and had to go back to reading my book...I know what she’s like and I have no idea WHY I thought she would be any different last night. She is even more annoying than Hillary..

I have utter contempt for "Undecided Voters"

These people shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

Amazing. Luntz was able to find 15 undecided voters?
