During the vice-presidential debate on Wednesday, Vice President Mike Pence wiped the floor with Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate, Kamala Harris, on the coronavirus pandemic.
Pence began by noting that Trump did “what no other American president had ever done, he suspended all travel from China.”
“Joe Biden opposed that decision, he said it was xenophobic and hysterical,” the vice president continued. Indeed, Biden did oppose the ban. Yet the China travel ban “saved hundreds of thousands of American lives.”
Next, Pence hit Biden on plagiarizing Trump’s policy response to the pandemic.
“When I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about,” the vice president quipped, noting that Biden suspended his 1988 presidential campaign after confessing to plagiarism.

Indeed, Biden’s plans continued to echo Trump’s actions, even while the Democrat accused the president of failing to respond to the pandemic.
As the debate continued, Harris said she would not take a vaccine that President Donald Trump recommended, as if the president would encourage a vaccine that Dr. Anthony Fauci did not approve. Pence called her out on this.

Pence slammed the Obama-Biden administration’s failures during the H1N1 pandemic.
“We actually do know what failure looks like in a pandemic,” Pence said. He mentioned the 2009 swine flu pandemic. “Before the end of the year, when Joe Biden was vice president of the United States, not 7.5 million people contracted the swine flu, 60 million Americans contracted the swine flu.”
“If the swine flu had been as lethal as the coronavirus in 2009 when Joe Biden was vice president, we would have lost 2 million American lives,” the vice president argued. Indeed, as PJ Media’s Matt Margolis reported, COVID-19 is nearly four times more infectious and 13-20 times more deadly than H1N1.
Pence concluded by quoting Biden’s former chief of staff, Ron Klain, who admitted it was the result of “luck” that more people didn’t die because they did “every possible thing wrong.”

How many people saw the debate?
I am watching it on YouTube. But Trump made the right choice for VP.
RE: How many people saw the debate?
No figures yet that I know as of this writing. The Trump-Biden debate drew about 74 million viewers, significantly down from the Trump-Clinton debate 4 years ago.
People such as myself who worked the night of and watch it on YouTube the next day likely aren’t counted in the views.
I actually saw it. I didn’t plan to, but I was watching OAN shortly before it started and left it on. It was nearly unbearable to watch with the nasal chameleon throwing out one snarky lie after another, and a “moderator” with ridiculous Democrat-talking-point questions. Pence did a great job for what he had to deal with.
Pence is a star and a real ticking time-bomb that Liberals are foolish to ignore
Approaching Liberals with facts and logic is like trying to kill an ant with a bowling ball.
He is calm and self possessed.
You only resort to ‘attitude’, discourtesy, arrogance and BS behavior when you are hiding your inadequacy and incompetence, like Kamala
“”” It was nearly unbearable to watch with the nasal chameleon throwing out one snarky lie after another,””””””
My wife had never heard Kamelho speak before. She had to turn it off. She was absolutely disgusted with her.
Kamala Harris has as her only qualification her experience as a “super spreader.”
“When I look at their plan that talks about advancing testing, creating new PPE, developing a vaccine, it looks a little bit like plagiarism, which is something Joe Biden knows a little bit about,”
I loved when Pence said that!
I didn’t watch the debate much, I mostly listened to it while doing other things. Harris’ voice grates on me. Her voice reminds me of a family member’s nasty, snide, lecturing tone when she was agitated. My wife felt her tone was nervous and scared, like she knew she was out of her league. What I did see of Harris was either nasty, angry expressions or very put on, fake smiles, contrasted with Pence’s very placid demeaner.
Pence is not the most exciting candidate, he is the anti-Trump in his behavior and mannerisms, but he has a very reassuring demeanor fitting for a chief executive.
