    Honestly, that was kind of boring. And I'm glad.

    It was an actual debate

    Harris could have attacked back harder. She missed some opportunities, but she did well.

    She could have attacked Pence more on being the head of the coronavirus task force, she should have attacked on the whitehouse outbreak/rose garden virus party, and attacked Pence when he said he knew what it was like to be the first black woman nominee for VP to name a few.

    Pence is a snake. He is a better liar than Trump, but not a great one. He didnt answer questions and diverted to obviously practiced talking points. That said he didn't do to terrible.

    Harris did better

    Either way, it doesn't matter. Its not going to change things one way or another in this election. It is already decided.

    The way Pence dodged having to answer questions was Matrix like.

    We are going to get nothing from this next debate on the 15th, except for maybe more spreading of Covid.

    Kamala is a woman so she is emotional and will launch all the nukes

    Kamala also went over her time multiple times, and the moderator didn't interrupt her as much. She let both of them go over time repeatedly.

    I don't understand why the Democrats on CNN choose to ignore this to paint Kamala as a victim of something tonight. Pence was respectful and wasn't "mainsplaining" as Van Jones said.

    I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes because I don't agree with anything Pence said, but I also don't agree with the reactions liberals had to the things he said. Ah well, perhaps I should listen to @EL PRESIDENTE and stop caring.

    Ah, nothing like being sexists while they're at it.

    I missed the fly, whenever the camera panned to Pence I was distracted by his pink eye in one eye and the cold sore they had bad makeup covering up in the corner of his lip....

    Pence went over everytime and wouldn't stop when asked. Kamala went over a few times because Pence interrupted her.

    Kamala actually requested equal time before going over a few times...Pence ignored requests to stop everytime and pretty much gave the same MAGA cheer everytime he did

    I don't think that's true. He certainly went over more, but it wasn't every time. And Harris absolutely went over a few times when Pence hadn't interrupted her. He barely interrupted her. Also Harris didn't stop when asked, but of course she wasn't asked to stop as many times as Pence was.

    It's exactly things like this that I'm talking about. One of us isn't seeing things as they are, and I don't think it's me.

    Confirmation bias is a helluva drug.

    Pence was way more patient than Trump but he didn't follow the time rules and took whatever time he thought he needed.
