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.


You STARTED this thread by focusing on the moderator.

No, I started the thread wondering why so many were focused on the moderator.

I thought Page did fine. I simply noticed over the evening and morning others were criticizing her. I simply cant understand why.

You wondered why people were focusing on the moderator, and your response to that was a thread focusing on the moderator.

My kids got a dime for each fly swatted.  I wanted to give them the same thing I got as a kid, a swat for each fly missed.  I was out voted.

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.

Have you been taking any experimental medications?
