Does this mean that Trump is broke??
If he was worth a lot, he would be one of those evil people who are "white and rich'.
Nah - don't think people are stupid...

Exasperated, not angry.
Exactly my thought half an hour earlier, glad I went to bed.
pence can’t have done the ticket much good by blatantly ignoring and insulting both women so consistently. The most interesting bit was the extent to which he repeatedly attacked the green new deal. Forcing Harris to repeatedly say they wouldn’t ban fracking probably lost them (b&h) a few left votes and shored up a few for T&P in the rust belt.
but he was still shit.

Perhaps she should have set fire to a few dumpsters?

Looks like Trump's recent actions are helping to increase Biden's lead.

Her father in law is a life peer, a former Treasurer of the Tory Party and has a fortune of around £140 million - so the hypocrisy is actually a lot closer to home than just her backing of Trump.

I think she did very well restraining her anger - if I'd had to debate Mike Pence, I would have been smashing his face against that partition within the first 5 minutes.
She was no doubt aware that if she did lose her patience with Pence, within the hour the Trump campaign would have tweeted out footage saying "Look at the scary angry Black woman who wants to turn America Communist!"

texas is neck-and-neck, Arizona Biden has a good-ish lead, buoyed no doubt by the fact that Arizonans don't take kindly to the things Trump said about the late Arizona Senator John McCain

Just watched a few clips - she seemed to do pretty well IMO, both in arguing calmly and clearly, and dealing with interruptions.

Sure, but plenty of Latinos are repelled by Trump's comments on mexicans and Puerto Rico, and the dems d have a fairly strong latino outreach movement going

Met up with Hannah Courtoy a week next Tuesday
The Trump’s bottled it off the next debate.

No surprise there. Of course it'll all be biden's fault for being scared of covid. Etc.

I thought she was OK. Crisp, clear, concise, and put Pence firmly in his box with "Mr vice President, I'm talking".
Pence was much better than trump, but boy is that bar low. he also came across as a bit patronising.

Well, yeah, it was actually like watching two normal-ish politicians from the clips I saw.

yep, confirmed.
Thing is, by all measures he's far enough behind to need a big game changer, and only a debate could possibly do that at this stage. And he can't now credibly say Biden's chickening out. Also, it's bleeding obvious that a virtual debate is right for these circumstances.
Unless he's now resigned to losing, and is putting all his chips on crying 'rigged election!', this makes no sense.

yup, a return to the world of the sane and rational (even if Pence is a creepy queerbashing bigot)

Tick tock.
There was one, it had a fly on it for a couple of minutes.

I think you mean there was a fly and it had a massive shit stuck to its arse for a couple of minutes.

that's a bit disappointing, as i was hoping biden would get shirty and demand that trump get another test beforehand or something like that.

e2a: this is what i should have posted, but my PC's playing up:
she also needs to project a bit more warmth and humour, nd to let her personality come through
all in all, a straight B for her, and a B- for Pence

The Biden campaign started selling fly swatters right after the debate. They're already sold out
The Biden campaign didn't miss a beat trying to capitalize on the, um, buzz of the vice presidential debate.
