Pence faces tall task in VP debate

Vice President Pence faces a challenging environment in the first vice presidential debate on Wednesday, which will take place against an unprecedented backdrop of events.

Pence will take the stage as President Trump, his running mate, battles the coronavirus. Trump left the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Monday evening amid continued questions about his health.

The White House is also dealing with a growing outbreak within its walls. On Monday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany and two of her deputies came down with COVID-19.

A Biden aide said Harris will continue the Biden campaign’s strategy of homing in on Trump’s failed leadership “which of course includes the handling of COVID-19.”

“Harris has every advantage coming into this debate,” one GOP strategist conceded. “Pence is going to have to try and turn this around all on his own and that’s a pretty daunting situation to be in.”

NANCY IS QUEEN of the marxist swamp snakes!!!Your EXACTLY what we NEED removed from government....

Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.

Pretty much sums up the democrat party ideals!!!

God is for Pence! And if God is for you no one is against you. Democrats are baby murderers and criminals. Republicans are law and order and for babies rights

Can Pence bring the market back up? Trump just tanked it by saying he won't have stimulus negotiations until after the election. Losing people's money is a bad strategy Donny. Wouldn't he want to get stimulus checks sent out before the election to gain some favor?

What does Pence's voice even sound like? It seems like I've barely heard him speak since the 2016 campaign.

Harris can be the sitting duck if the team preps him well.

Pence should ask harris how she can run along a man who is on record saying he didn't want his children going to a school that is a racial jungle. In other words biden thinks blacks are n****** and no way in hell were his kids going to school with any n******. Any you can bet his grandchildren didn't attend grade school with n*****. But blacks will overwhelmingly vote for him What a bunch of liars they are. What a bunch of immoral wastes of space they are. they aren't equals and they better not ever think they will They are immoral and immoral people are not equals. For years now they destroyed over their made up racial issues and now they are going to vote for one They can all go to hell and they are. Even God can't stand them and is why he has they killing each other all over the place

The VP is no slouch. Congressman and then Governor of Indiana. Had a successful talk show. As others have noted he has principles and morals. Son is USMC officer and wife is a teacher.

Harris is a phony and her 'accomplishments' are primarily negative. There's a good reason she dropped out before Iowa; even the Dems didn't like her. Is SlowJoe saddled with her, or is she saddled with him?

Advantage Harris, LOL!

Every singe day for 4 months gave statements with the SCIENTIST from the White House. He also gave statements with all governors and scientists live stream almost every day. But seeing how you only watch scripted reality tv shows like CNN, ABC msdnc you would not have watched it. The fact of the matter is he did more in 5 months the Joe Biden did in 47 years.

Pence is going to destroy her so badly SNL won't do a sketch.

Can we talk about how all the descriptions of the anti-christ returning to Earth in the Bible are spot on about Trump? No? Stick to the parts of the Bible that are convenient for conservatives? Got it.

Pence was a radio personality prior to politics...hence his ability to talk in a standard monotone voice. Ugh. Never any personality when he speaks - maybe a lil PEP in his STEP to crush his opponent.

Or just allow her to look crazy is the plan. She does crazy very well!

Pence will be fine. Nothing rattles him. Run on their record over the last 3.5yrs which is incredible and only interrupted by a virus that isn’t nearly as deadly/contagious as it was originally made out to be and only continues to be pushed as a threat by the left. Schools and colleges across the country have been opened in some capacity for over a month now. Where are the mass hospitalizations and deaths we were promised would follow, both among students and faculty? They aren’t there. Yes people can catch it...people get sick all the time. That’s nothing new. The survival rate for ALL age groups is over 99%. There’s no science or statistics that back up our continued lockdowns and restrictions.
He needs to get Harris off script and on the defensive because she will fold easily. She’s not qualified for VP, let alone President. That’s what you need to consider tonight. Both trump and Biden are in their late 70s. Who on the stage tonight do you feel makes the better president in case they have to take over. Pretty easy answer.

The descriptions were spot on about Obama and will be for Biden AND Harris too.

Yes I am a ray of sunshine and don't you dare ever ever forget it I know you think you are insulting me but guess what The opinions of wastes of space on the earth peons like you makes no difference to me. Never did and I can assure you it's not going to start with a nothing like you and you would do best to not ever forget it.
What I speak is the truth and just because you people are immoral because you have not ever had a human being in your life much less a decent civilized one doesn't change the truth. biden hates blacks There are no if's and's or but's about it. He is so used to talking down about them that he thinks nothing of talking down on them in public. Not my problem though It's just shows more of the black race's many difficulties in life lack of morals being tops They teach their children it is good to go and kill other blacks. They teach their kids it's okay to be hoes and make babies with any thug that gives them a second look. and now they are teaching their children it's okay to vote for someone who thinks they are not worthy enough to go to school with his sons. That is how stupid blacks are My dog is smarter

Pence will do well. Not because of God but because Trump did so poorly that even you could debate Harris and seem sensible.

The Veep was his normal on-point, factual, unflappable self. He made and reinforced his points and used portions of his time to refute her lies, exaggerations, and flailing. Her body language was very bad with flailing hands. I think he missed some points where he could absolutely skewered her: Frisco as a place they poop in the streets, Newsom's electric edict coupled with blackouts, and some others. But he nailed her and Joe repeatedly.

She was a primed puppet, lied about fracking and Green New Deal, and Joe's record an hers.

Veep carried the debate handily.
