Last night’s debate was an hour and a half of my life I’ll never get back. Pence is nothing more than a more polished, low key bully and bullshitter than Trump. That said, he had Harris on her heels most of the night trying to defend herself and calling him out on his lies and fairy tales, rather than sticking to the questions asked. I wish (especially when Pence dodged the question about preexisting conditions and Trump’s health care plan) Harris would have immediately called Pence out for not answering that question, rather than bob, weave and dodge the question on Supreme Court packing that had absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. I think Harris would have been far more effective wrestling the conversation back to the moderator’s questions rather than getting into a pissing match (on stupid shit we have heard ad nauseum) that deflects from the literal purpose of a “debate”. We (both sides) learned absolutely nothing last night but what we didn’t already know. My two takeaways from the night were that; 1. Mike Pence in particular and the Republican Party in general have no use for strong, assertive women (or the truth for that matter). And 2. If reelected, Trump really and truly has no other plan than to stumble through “business as usual”, expecting the Republican Party to clean up his messes behind him using the Supreme Court (Along with Bill Barr) as his own personal concierge service. Sorta like the pooper scoopers who clean up behind the horses after a parade.........I’d have gotten more depth out of a Hallmark Channel Christmas movie........
