Kamala Wins 59-38 CNN

[Rule of Claw]

Told ya it was a wipeout.

1. Thank you Future Vice President

[Cha]

2. Excellent!!!

[brewens]

3. I'm glad to see that. I thought she did better given Pence lying and refusing to

answer the questions, but I expected polls to have it closer.

[Best_man23]

4. Had to add this

[BootinUp]

5. It was. she was much more effective, Pence was clearly lieing his ass off

[Hugin]

9. He would not answer a question.

Content less replies.

Sen Harris at least tried to answer the questions with substance until he'd driven everything so far off the rails it was difficult.

[BigmanPigman]

6. He succeeded in reaffirming women's hatred for him.

[Rule of Claw]

7. She won the debate

by asking how much your families were panicking while they withheld the truth.

It was all icing after that one.

8. Yeah, but how about Telemundo? Huh?

I did just see Mike Madrid of The Lincoln Project say he thought it was pretty mixed, Kamala "winning by just not losing".

I guess it depends on what you look for in these things.

13. The Broader Lincoln Project Group (Wilson, Schmitt et al) Thought Kamala Did Great

I don't know who this Mike Madrid is but I'll go with Rick Wilson and Steve Schmitt's take. Steve said Kamala kicked Pence's ass.

[Midnight Writer]

14. They introduced him as the co-founder of The Lincoln Project.

I am not familiar with him. I don't think I've ever seen him before.

10. CNN said the poll has more democrats than normal though

I think it was 38% democrats, 20ish republicans and 20ish indy. So the result is a bit tilted to democrats.

[Marius25]

11. I'm guessing that Pence's lies weren't

believable for most people. He claimed him and Trump did a great job handling Covid.

210,000 Americans are dead and the entire White House and Trump are sick with Covid. They literally have plexiglass shields at the debate because of Trump/Pence's failures.

Pretty hard to lie your way out of that question.

[Claustrum]

12. I think both has strong and weak moments. It's a wash like most people said.

But Kamala's job is "to do no harm" so she did her job just fine.

I personally think Biden and Kamala need to prepare better for the "pack the court" question. Dodging it isn't good enough. Attack the republicans with what they did in 2016.

[Rule of Claw]

15. Accounting for a turnout in between '08 and '16

she won by 17.

That is mighty fine.

[mnhtnbb]

22. Both Biden and Harris sidestepped

the opportunity to raise the issue of McConnell refusing to hold hearings for judges nominated by Obama. In fact, Barrett holds her current position as a judge because McConnell refused to hold hearings for the black woman Obama had nominated for the job.

I don't understand why they won't talk about the Republican hypocrisy in holding up Merrick Garland and pushing through Barrett.

19. That and that his sentences stopped making sense.

He rambled, put chunks of words together in nonsense phrases, repeated stock phrases in inappropriate and meaningless combinations. He was like a rambling, senile, patronizing, old, uncle, irrelevant and annoying. The only thing missing was having him tell a lame joke and then inappropriately
laugh a himself. Thank Gawd the fly showed up.

20. All Pence did was repeat lies &distortions the Con has said, just in a smarmier, soft voice tone

Which to me makes him even more dangerous. Reminds me of Ted Bundy.

[BGBD]

16. I expected that

Harris would win, but we'd see a 46-40 poll, or something along those lines.

These polls seem to have a larger D sample, but that's based on more D's watching the debate. That probably tells you a lot about who is really most enthusiastic about this election.

With that said, 6 in 10 watcher through she won and her favorability rating went up sharply. That's a huge win by itself.

People hate Trump and if they like Biden and Harris as much as polling is suggesting, they're going to win.

17. We have a dream team!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

18. the lies. the lies. the lies.

That game is up T&P.

21. Kamala did what she needed to.

She introduced herself and proved she could step into the role of president if need be. She prosecuted the case against Trump and his handling of covid. She avoided 'gotcha questions' about hot-button topics and stayed on message about kitchen table issues like healthcare and jobs.

She couldn't go in to harder on Pence (who is a slick liar) due to the danger of being seen by white moderates as the 'angry black radical' that the GOP has long tried to portray her as.
