Debating Pence?

Many support Harris so she will shred Pence.

Honestly, debating Pence is like shooting a fish in a barrel.

I think that she should be Biden AG. I cannot see her just sitting waiting to be in charge of something. And, the V.P is expected to be the next head of the party? Not so fast.

Hurdles, getting a health bill and tackling the recession. Obama took the health issue and Biden ran the recession issue. Biden will give his vp a big hunk of the horrible facing us!

RW radio propagandist. He shredded truth for a living, he's continued to do that in elective office, and he's no fish in a barrel.

Tim Kaine was at least literally two or three times better educated, maybe four or five given Pence's intellectual limitations, and probably at least half again as intelligent, without Pence's very conservative chains on his thinking. But Kaine's earnest thoughtfulness did not come off well on the stage against Pence's calm, easy slickness. With the kind of intense practice and planning VP candidates get, and the need for both to "keep it simple stupid" for national audiences, Pence unfortunately did not come off as comparatively dumb and ignorant at all.
