Toss in "we don't need another national embarrassment on how Mr. Trump childishly conducts himself in a debate".

I honestly don't think any undecideds will blame Biden for refusing additional debates just as long as Biden continues to reach out to them.

Let Trump dig between the sofa cushions to find enough money to run a "Biden is scared to debate" ad. Fine. Whatever.

Not worth risking it.

Zoom meeting or bust. Appeal to the American public about the benefits of having a mute button.

SI

Swaggs · 10-07-2020, 06:14 PM

I agree. I think if Harris looks good tonight and makes people feel comfortable that she can be president, Biden should straight up dictate the rules and make them agree or cancel the rest.

JediKooter · 10-07-2020, 06:26 PM

I hope she wears something sleeveless.

Seems to me there would be lots of logistical ways to virtually remove that risk. Have them come in separate entrances etc. and never be within 20 feet of each other or whatever.

Pence refuses to be in a room if a woman is wearing something that reveals her shoulders. At least that's what I read a while ago.

GrantDawg · 10-07-2020, 07:55 PM

What would be considered a big game changer that could come out of this debate? Anything? I can't think of how the debate is going to move the needle unless someone comes out drooling, or pulls a gun and shoots the other one.

JediKooter · 10-07-2020, 07:59 PM

Maybe some people that are on the fence regarding Harris? If she comes out and soothes any of their fears, some undecideds may finally go for Bidean/Harris. That's the only thing I can think of, short of Pence coming out gay or like you said, some decides to shoot up the place.

cuervo72 · 10-07-2020, 08:16 PM

Moderator is letting Pence run over her and any time restraints already.

Atocep · 10-07-2020, 08:18 PM

Has Pence actually answered a question yet?

Edward64 · 10-07-2020, 08:20 PM

Moderator is doing a pretty good job. Both have gone over but Pence had one that rambled on too long. Still a much better start the other one.

She keeps on repeating "without interruption" which is great.

NobodyHere · 10-07-2020, 08:21 PM

The moderator needs to tell Pence to shut up.

I've had enough.

Kamala, it's not all about you. Answer the question.

ISiddiqui · 10-07-2020, 08:24 PM

Seriously how long does Pence go over time?

Also "stop playing politics with people's lives" Lololol

Lathum · 10-07-2020, 08:24 PM

I can't believe Pence just told her to stop playing politics with peoples lives when his administration has literally made wearing a mask a political issue.

spleen1015 · 10-07-2020, 08:24 PM

I haven't watched many debates in the past.

Is it typical for them to not answer the questions?

I almost forgot that Pence 4 years ago said Trump was hard on Russia. This guy lies as smoothly as any politician I've ever seen.

pretty much. They basically come up with the talking points they want to get across and wedge them in where they can.

But still better than the other fiasco.

thesloppy · 10-07-2020, 08:27 PM

Pence is fucking repeatedly crashing into a cliff.

Atocep · 10-07-2020, 08:27 PM

Question about the lack of transparency about Trump's health.

Pence: doctors will continue to be transparent.

Touché

JPhillips · 10-07-2020, 08:27 PM

These are terrible questions that no politician would answer.

JPhillips · 10-07-2020, 08:28 PM

And they really don't have enough time for answers.

Lathum · 10-07-2020, 08:29 PM

yeah.

"hey, have you talked about it the president dies what would happen?"

It is a terrible question with no good answer.

I would have liked Harris to say " Biden rides his bike every day and is in great health so it isnt an issue or concern, unlike trump who we know has Covid"

Great answer but instead Kamala talked about her background.

And yes, agree moderator should do a hard stop for Pence at the second warning.

thesloppy · 10-07-2020, 08:33 PM

What's up with Pence's left eye? Is he popping covid live?

Galaril · 10-07-2020, 08:35 PM

So I am slightly surprised but do think Harris is coming slightly ahead after the first three rounds 10-9 o. My card. But Pence, has a cut on his right eye and guess he is a bleeder.

ISiddiqui · 10-07-2020, 08:35 PM

Wow, that exchange. Harris put Pence in his place like a school teacher dealing with an unruly child.

Butter · 10-07-2020, 08:37 PM

That Pence picture looks like the crying Jordan meme

JPhillips · 10-07-2020, 08:42 PM

I think Harris has missed a number of opportunities. This question on climate change has been one of her better answers, IMO.

Lathum · 10-07-2020, 08:43 PM

Pence is coming across to me like a man who doesn't like to be spoken to "like that" by a woman

Edward64 · 10-07-2020, 08:44 PM

I like her recapping key points on Joe won't stop fracking, no tax increase on < $400K etc. Continue to recap and summarize.

kingfc22 · 10-07-2020, 08:45 PM

Pretty sure nobody is voting for or against fracking in this election.

NobodyHere · 10-07-2020, 08:45 PM

Moderator: How bout that climate change?

Pence: Nah, we're talking about taxes

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

ISiddiqui · 10-07-2020, 08:45 PM

Moderator simply won't stop Pence from going over time.

kingfc22 · 10-07-2020, 08:49 PM

She was saving that line all night. Re: auto industry

cuervo72 · 10-07-2020, 08:49 PM

Hey you hear that, lungs? HUGE WIN FOR DAIRY!

NobodyHere · 10-07-2020, 08:50 PM

I can't stand this anymore

ISiddiqui · 10-07-2020, 08:50 PM

Is Pence trying to get progressives on board by talking about Harris' liberal voting record?

Edward64 · 10-07-2020, 08:50 PM

Kamala, you need to exceed your time and keep on exceeding your time. That's the only way the moderator will be forced to do something.

Edit: Kamala, get off the China thing. Joe doesn't have a lot to stand on there.

Atocep · 10-07-2020, 08:56 PM

It started off back and forth and fairly even but I think Harris has really pulled ahead over the past 20 minutes or so.

Jas_lov · 10-07-2020, 08:58 PM

Harris is doing a solid job. She just had to reassure people and she's done that. If they talk about health care that'll be a topic in her wheelhouse.

Oh, yeah. Shocked that Pence doesn't really respect women, what with his history and reputation.

I wish the moderator had an air horn.

This is less annoying than Trump's interrupting. But still annoying.

SI

It's a striking thing when your opponent lies so easily. Harris is getting more confident as she moves forward.
