edit: and Pence had the comeback. This question in particular is just yikes. They simply won't say yes or no. it's revealing. | ||

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. It would really help if we cut out debates and just had solo one on one interviews with them instead. | ||

"Thank you for that question, Susan, but actually I'm not going to answer your question." ~Pence, every question, in this debate | ||

They've certainly found the best possible dodge, but I think Pence's "they are voting and they want to know if you are going to pack the court" is right to the point. | ||

The Townhalls all of the candidates do are very informative and answer way more policy questions than these debates ever will yet we don't focus on them. | ||

It rings hollow when he hasn't answered a single question. He ran like a child from the abortion question. | ||

I'd say Pence looks better overall, but that most people will probably say that whoever they like the most won this one. I don't see anything groundbreaking today. | ||

I would prefer two town halls and one 1v1 debate rather than the reverse. I'd rather listen to presidents answer directly to their constituents rather than confront each other in a made for TV spectacle. | ||

Well that's why last week's debate became such a meme. People don't recognize their civic duty. | ||

Can't say I'm impressed with what I saw so far, but at least it's not the circus from last time.

Neither VP candidate is so stellar to persuade anyone, although to be fair, that's nearly impossible right now anyway... pretty much everyone has picked a side. | ||
