99. When the moderator has lost control

which she has, Senator Harris is absolutely entitled to go nuclear on responding to Pence's continual disrespect for the rules. The audience sees it, but if Harris (who is doing very well) can interject, at the right moment, with a statement calling Pence on the carpet for ignoring the rules and disrespecting the audience and the debate, I think it would be a seminal moment, because it recalls the "shitshow" that Trump put on in the first presidential debate and reflects the disrespect this administration has for the rules of governing--in short, the rules don't apply to us, they just apply to everyone else. Call him out, Senator Harris!

For the record, I think she's performing really well, and the TV audience can see it.
