Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLawrence O'Donnell is showing a Kamala Harris clip, and dear God, she's gonna flatten Pence.
It's a discussion about Trump's debt, and he played a clip of her saying "He owes debt, and let's be honest about that, he owes MONEY to SOMEBODY, so WHO do you owe money to," and I felt the Bill Barr hearings come rushing back to me.
Pence is completely out of his league. That debate is going to be terrifying. And I can hardly wait.

(12,022 posts)He claims to be a moral, religious man. She should emphasize that.
"I want to believe you are at heart a moral and decent man. You are a religious man. So how can you work for a man who violates everything you claim to believe?"
I want to see him forced to defend Trump.

(40,208 posts)she is going to laugh at him. Pence has this ridiculous fake piety voice that is comical. It makes everything he says come out sounding like he is standing in a church, no matter how mundane or ordinary. Add to that he is so uptight and so uncomfortable in his own skin he can barely come off as human.
I think he is going to bring his hifalutin preacher voice to the debate because that is how he covers up his idiocy.

(26,044 posts)Unlike Trump, Pence, as a former radio host, knows how to turn on the charm and appear calm and "moderate." Tim Kaine tried to go hard-edged on him in 2016, and it backfired badly; although people granted that Kaine had some important points to make, the general consensus was that Pence won because Kaine came across as "too mean."

(82,849 posts)But I think she should - from time to time* - lay out some odious position that Trump has taken, and challenge Pence as to whether he backs it or not. From sucking up to dictators to kicking the oppressed, it won't be difficult to force Pence into the conundrum of defending his faith or endorsing the horrible policies of his administration.
*By which I mean every last second of camera time.

(6,513 posts)what his priorities are if Trump crumbles and flees.
As acting pRes, would he 1) lysol out the WH; or 2) stop the war that Trump will start before he leaves. What does he think is most important of all the damage that tRump has done to our country?
I feel calm with Harris backing up Biden. It feels good.
