Pence on debating Harris: 'I can't wait'
By Rebecca Klar - 08/13/20 10:25 AM EDT



Vice President Pence said Wednesday he “can’t wait” to debate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), named this week as former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate.

“I think she is a skilled debater, but I can't wait to get to Salt Lake City and be on the stage with her,” Pence said in a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity.

Pence said he wants to compare Biden’s record and the “radical left agenda,” which he argued Harris has embraced, with the “results of this president and this administration.”

Harris accused the president of stocking racial division and slammed his handling of the coronavirus pandemic that has infected more than 5 million people in the U.S., claiming more than 160,000 lives.

“The president’s mismanagement of the pandemic has plunged us into the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, and we’re experiencing a moral reckoning with racism and systemic injustice that has brought a new coalition of conscience to the streets of our country,” Harris said. “America is crying out for leadership.”

He might have a Law Degree, but he will be up against a very skilled Prosecutor who will go full Barr and Kavanaugh on him. Mike Pence will not know what hit him because she stated her case before the American people(the jury in this case), that the Trump Administration is a CRIMINAL one. She will counter his LIES with the FACTS.

setting the bar too low for Biden.

Pence will be competent in the debate - he's one of the smoothest liars I've ever seen and has years of honing that craft as a right-wing talker.

Harris is very good, and she'll do fine. She also has a huge advantage this time in his record.

But I'm with you that former RW radio smearmaster Pence is "one of the smoothest liars I've ever seen and has years of honing that craft." He smoothly polished the floor with Tim Kaine, his intellectual and educational superior by far, and will perform well.

Pence will strut about the stage, crapping all over everything, and claim he won.

Trump's idiot followers will believe him and the right wing media will say it's so.

There's no use debating these evil and ignorant clowns. The only way to deal with them is to crush them.
