“Poor kids are just as bright as white kids.” Joe Biden
Pence is a very adept politician though. He does not rile easily, or at all really. And he will lie with a stoic, straight face with the best of them. He also has 4 years of defending Trump under his belt. If I were to guess, the debate will be a wash overall, and neither candidate will be seen as truly outperforming the other.

This is a very good point. Never doing any adversarial interviews has definitely weakened them all.

This is the same Harris who had to quit the Democratic primaries because of the beat down by little known Hawaiian congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard?

Jaime Harrison isn’t exactly a charismatic dynamo himself and he had Graham physically reeling with “I’m going to use your own words against you.” It was baffling.

Debating the guy who’s only Vice President because he’s such a terrible politician that he knew four months in advance of the Indiana governor election in which he was the incumbent that he was going to lose. So I dunno, C minus as a burn.

Mike Pence is no Tulsi Gabbard.
My daughter did Debate Club in high school. It was good, helped her learn to research and formulate arguments.
Once she got admitted to University, the school Debate Coach recruited her and she continued on with it. College debate was nothing like HS debate and could be brutal.
Currently she’s a JAG doing Court Martial prosecutions.
Don’t try to cross tongues with my daughter. But now that I think about it I’m not sure if that comes from Debate Club or her mother.

I see zero reason that anyone should believe a single word that comes out of camela’s mouth.

Just a little. Just a tad left of what Biden has already said. It’s too early and they’re leading.
Kamala lies with a smile and giggle. Sometimes the crazy laugh.

Better than a D+ I still move pass. I don’t know what to expect I have never seen Pence debate, and only a little from Harris.

Actually Pence is being called on to do something very similar that he was called on to do in 2016…right the ship after a disastrous week for the ticket.
I have no doubt he will do his jujitsu thing again and simply change the subject whenever it gets too much to defend Trump.
Which is why Harris needs to let Trump be and go after PENCE on COVID.

I get it. I only learned about because a friend was a paralegal for the DA’s office here and her prosecutor buddies were all debate club alumni. I love people like that because despite my obvious love of debate and a reading addiction that costs me about as much as a decent coke habit, I rarely have a chance to go up against people in a knockdown drag-out IRL without hurting feelings unless they’re debate club vets.

That is the funniest thing I’ve seen seriously posted on this forum in 5 years.

This isn’t even the funniest thing I’ve posted in the last five months. Not even top ten.
This is the only path. The last sentence to debate question answer should be
“Do you really trust Pence to manage (insert policy) when they can’t manage a COVID outbreak at the WH?”
Or some variation.
