The vice presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Vice President Mike Pence was more traditional and less raucous than last week’s debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. That debate was a three-way interruption fest marked by Biden losing track of his thoughts and Trump clumsily returning to slights that had occurred 25 minutes earlier. [Snip] Here are a few quick takeaways on how it went down.

Sorry Molly, but you give Harris too much credit. She was obnoxious..

I have read this and I have watched FOX NEWS and their “expert” panel of debate analysts. I say what most thinking Americans say. Vice-President politely and masterfully wiped the floor with the leftist Kamala Harris. Let me tell you how effective Pence was, Miss Hemingway. Your media friends immediately declared the insignificance of the entire event. Most importantly, Biden’s people immediately and desperately arranged with the Debate Commission to switch next week’s Presidential debate to a virtual format. Biden cannot function without his handlers letting him read off a script and feed him lines. Mollie, that is my non-expert takeaway.

I disagree. Mollie did a good job of describing Harris. Mollie doesn’t ever get down and dirty, but her subtlety does the job. Her description of Harris as being “smug” tells the tale. That is Harris’s trademark. She also mentioned Harris’s odd facial expressions. Harris’s surgeon did her no favors. Her longish, hatchety real face looked like a version of Munch’s “The Scream”. Now her rounded cheeks and chin - which do not flow smoothly to the jowly area below - give her the look of an aged kewpie doll. Her mean eyes are still there. A massive disconnect.

"Harris could improve her performance by lowering the temperature on her condescension and developing more substance behind her brashness."
In other words, as a debater, there is no hope for Harris.

PS. I am far more interested in the legitimately good things Mollie has to say about Vice President Pence’s debate performance.
I do hope LDotters are reading the whole thing before posting replies.

The term that came to my mind watching Harris - SMARMY

I noticed that when Harris got a question that she had obviously been coached on she grinned like a Cheshire cat. She felt comfortable spouting what her coaches had told her to say.
Her denials of Biden doing away with the Trump tax cuts, and her refusal to answer the question of loading the SCOTUS only confirmed the fact that this is the plan.

I think that Mrs. Hemingway did a good job, as usual. Very even handed and fair.
Pence did a great job, by all accounts. Harris was obnoxious, as usual, by all accounts.

So very much of what is wrong with our country was on display last night.

Didn't watch, will not watch these phony "debates", which are nothing but media ambushes on the GOP. Why the GOP participates is a mystery.
Nevertheless, the consensus seems to be that Kamala Harris is incapable of masking her contemptuous, sneering attitude. Nor is she capable of admitting her radical ideology when she is confronted with it face-to-face. She is as false, phony, two-faced, and un-genuine as they come. If that's what you like in a Democrat, she delivers.

Kamala came across as that girl in HS you would love to see other girls slap around.

I am still wondering what the Biden/Harris platform is because it's all attack of the President.
