    Attacking the moderator would have been worse.
    Plus, it would also have went against the message of the biden ticket. They aren't trying to take cheap shots.

    It’s not cheap shot it’s the facts. The guy just killed the stimulus, for folks that have been struggling, out of nowhere after millions of people had been holding out hope for months.

    This isn’t funny. There’s a decent chance that fly has Covid now.

    I think Pence held court with his base since he delivered in that slow paternalistic and smug waspy Christian routine while getting in those last unsanctioned digs. No one is going to give an extra crap about packing the court when RBG's death is already THE ISSUE when it comes to that, but Harris did not qualify an answer...*

    None of it is going to tilt anything short of both candidates suffering some health issue that could kill them between now and election day.

    *Read some pundit remarking that it's because Joe won't intend to pack the court whereas his base is more willing to. I'm holding onto hope that it's a viable option for him though...

    I don't think Pence did bad, probably even won back some moderates (That Trump will lose the next time he's put in front of a camera) but all anyone will talk about is the fly lol.

    So it actually did ruin the debate for him.

    I'm sure they have the best artists and tremendous tracing paper. Problem will be can they get the fly to hold that still again?

    Pence did fine, Harris did fine. A few people might have decided based on tonight. But three weeks from now people will have forgotten all about it and other events will have way more sway. In the end the only thing anyone will remember will be the fly.

    Kamala didnt grill him hard enough. Seems like she was told to hold back. Pence needed to win this debate by alot to have any chance of getting back in this election. This debate didnt help any party which hurts trump more.

    actually many are talking about how Pence had just turned away more women from voting for team dotard.

    he was caught mansplaining, and Harris called him out on it.

    the topic was on racial justice. Pence was up first.
    he put his spin on the protests thru out the US, w emphasis on the need "law and order"
    when it was Harris' turn, she looked at Pence and said "I will not be lectured"
    " i am the one on this stage that actually has experience upholding law of the land and prosecuting criminals"
    i think this exchange / interaction resonated w woman voters.​

    Lots of people saying that Pence had pink eye. I didn't notice that.


    Isn't that a lesser known symptom of covid though?

    'Pink Eye' Often a Symptom of COVID-19, and Infection Via Tears Possible

    https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200401/pink-eye-often-a-symptom-of-covid-19

    WEDNESDAY, April 1, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Besides causing COVID-19, the new coronavirus can also lead to "pink eye," and Chinese researchers say the virus may be spread by tears.



    Of 38 patients with COVID-19, a dozen also had pink eye (conjunctivitis), a new study found. In two patients, the coronavirus was present in both nasal and eye fluids.

    Isn't Pence also a lawyer, though? According to wiki, he entered private practice in 1986.

    Kamala may have been asked to not be aggressive. That way the idiot Fox News watcher is not getting an radical sound bites.
