VP Debate Post-Mortem: Pence Trounces “Gaffe Machine” Harris<\/h1>\n

ZeroHedge.com<\/p>\n

55-year-old Kamala Harris (22 years the junior of Joe Biden) faced off across a 12-foot void of ‘potentially-deadly-air’ and ‘plexiglass’ against 61-year-old Mike Pence (13 years younger than President Trump) with USA Today’s (and Nancy Pelosi biographer) Susan Page as the ‘moderator’ at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City… all without wearing masks!<\/p>\n

Ahead of the debate, despite media’s constant crowing about Biden’s double-digit lead in national polls,\u00a0Trump is slightly outperforming against Biden relative to Hillary in the battleground states<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Following a similar pattern – but with a notably higher probability of winning in November – relative to his performance against Hillary…<\/p>\n

Summary (of the nine discussion topics):<\/u><\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0COVID Response – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– a body-blow slamming Kamala on vaccines:\u00a0“stop playing politics with people’s lives.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

2.\u00a0Health Of Candidates – Tie<\/strong>\u00a0– neither candidate answered but if we had to pick, Pence shaded it as Kamala discussed herself.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0The Economy – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– the vice-president crushed Harris on Biden taxes (briefly silencing her over Trump tax cut repeal).<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0Climate Change – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– perhaps surprisingly but Harris was unable to recover from being cornered on her sponsorship of the Green New Deal<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0China – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– Harris facts all over the place and Pence closed with Biden’s “cheerleading” for China.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0Foreign Relations – Tie<\/strong>\u00a0– both candidates parried each other’s running mate’s performance<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0The Supreme Court – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– Harris refused to answer the question of packing the court and Pence was frank about being “pro-life.”<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0Racial Justice – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– again rather stunningly, Pence crushed Harris on misleading quotes and soundbites<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0Transfer Of Power – Pence won<\/strong>\u00a0– while Harris went “vote now”, Pence reminded the audience that Harris party spent the last four years trying to overturn the previous election<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pence dominated Harris as finally, questions were asked and answered and facts were checked!<\/strong><\/p>\n
