1rst Pres debate vs the VP debate and mods.

[Drich]

I am reading a lot of opinions about how Susan Page did last night. I am surprised at how many are calling her weak. 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.

I am a democrat, Wallace DID NOT softball Trump. I don't know what fucking debate you were watching.

There was a point where the orange turd cried about fairness, and Wallace told Trump he was interrupting at a far higher rate.

Was either candidate presented with a miniature commemorative clam manor after the debate?

I get that many didn't watch, and think "what is the point?" I get that. I didn't watch because I thought it would be earth shattering. I watched because I knew Harris would kick Pence's ass. 

But I can tell you regardless. If we were not talking about a politics, and  instead a sporting event, or boxing match, Harris knocked him out. 

Problem is, we are dealing with the absurdity of the Monty Python knight, who had both his arms and legs cut off.

If you knew the outcome, why watch? Was it because you wanted to see a clam manor? If so, I can empathize with that.

Pence could've been more forceful in making his case, I believe.
Harris struck me as an underprepared, fear-mongering, Democratic shill who lies with disturbing ease.

Chick's an absolute fraud.

So horrible.


What the hell--might as well stick this here too, I suppose.

I get that there is always a "Point of view".

But I don't see anything close to Harris being "underprepared".

She shot out of the gates like gangbusters and put him in his place from the start.

The response times of 30 seconds or sometimes 15 seconds are ridiculous. You can't really say much of anything in 15 or 30 seconds. Like Bernie said, this is no way to have a debate/discussion. The moderator was annoying, but I guess that's more on the debate format.

I don't get the focus on the moderator.

Think about it. Even in a family board game, like monopoly, or twister, or Simon, there are rules, and when you spend time with family playing those games, rules get contested. I get that, but this isn't a board game, or pick up game on a field. 

I don't know what everyone expected Page to do. I think Page handled Pence like the bratty child he was acting like. I think she was very effective in letting him drone on and wearing himself out, like the fucking brat at the checkout isle when you wont buy them candy.
