I'm happy that Harris is now actually somewhat answering questions. She goes astray a bit but she brings it back by the end. Pence literally immediately goes away from the question and forgets what it even was in the first place.

I wonder how many Americans think daily, ' well this sucks but at least we moved that embassy in Israel'

It's the dumbest republican talking point

Harris had a nice, relevant response to the question about American leadership, when she discussed foreign relationships and building trust.

Especially because Trump's conduct with Israel has really pissed off a lot of people and isn't something you want to bring up.

This moderator is so pathetic.

"THANK YOU VICE PRESIDENT PENCE" x50

Jesus Christ. Pence just doesn't stop. Just keeps steamrolling the moderator. And it's way more than the standard politician.

Not that VP debates ever make any real difference, but this debate has pretty much just turned into Pence lying constantly to try to Warp the narrative while Harris just brings up just some of the countless horrible things Trump has done.

don't understand why they are forming this Russia v China line as if both aren't problematic

Looks like the moderator was finally able to reel in Pence for one second. I was just about to post about how little control she had over the debate, but I'm happy she didn't back down this time around. I just wish Pence would answer ANY question.

Harris has answered almost every question in the time allotted. Pence constantly interrupting and going over time makes him look even worse in light of last week.

The moderator is shit if she doesn't dog him on abortion. He just talked about something completely different.

Pence slid away on answering the abortion part of the question. At least he answered it later.

I feel like Harris has to call that out. It's gotten a bit silly an hour into the debate now.

Not sure why not a single person can have a reasonable view on abortion

It's really hard to walk a line of any nuance in a TV debate. Especially because one misstep will be quoted on TV for days and weeks. It's one of the major things that has led to the decline of American democracy.

In Canada we hardly even care about our TV debate. Maybe it's because there tends to be 5-6 parties competing in the debate, maybe partly because we tend to read up on platforms a lot.
