I didn't see here doing anything differently than Chris Wallace did in the first Presidential debate. It can be said that Trump threw a gigantic tantrum vs Pence who was still rude, and interrupted but acted like a robot.
But I don't get the criticism of Susan Page last night as mod of the VP debate. I think she, like Wallace, were treating Trump/Pence, respectively, like that bratty kid in the checkout isle when you refuse to buy candy for them. Sometimes a parent gets to the point, "yea yea yea yea, ok ok ok, ignore them, let them throw their tantrum, and eventually they calm down."
Her repeated, "Thank you, thank you, thank you", to nudge Pence to move on, I didn't see as weak, I saw it, like I said, like a parent letting the kid throw the fit to wear himself out. And her repetition, I could see the frustration in Pence's face in that he lost the moment because of it.
wallace complete shill for the dims.. he soft balled biden each and every question and jumped on trump when biden lost control.
Page did something similar with harris when pence attacked her position. she interrupted pence and then looked to harris who gave her a nod to allow pance to continue. then when pence finish and it was clear harris had no response page jumped in again.
