Trying to say the media is distorting Trump’s racist dogwhistles when the biggest news story of last week was Trump telling his racist goons to stand by and everyone saw it. ---

She’d be better off not defending her record and going on to the election. ---

She has to walk a very fine line between “soft on crime” and overzealous as a prosecutor. ---

This is a bad tactic on her part right now. She’s holding up the debate and disobeying the moderator and it wasn’t to make a really good point, she was just sort of restating what she said before. ---

Wow, his answer here is incredibly pathetic. This only confirms that Trump 100% plans to steal the election and refuse to transfer power even if he loses, because Pence has clearly been briefed to be on board with him and justify it. ---

I think the debate is a drawn, probably a slight edge to Pence for exceeding expectations and reminding people that there’s actually someone with sanity inside the WH [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vp-debate-oct-7-is-there-a-watch-follow-along-thread/922459.md?page=9) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/vp-debate-oct-7-is-there-a-watch-follow-along-thread/922459.md?page=11)
