This is false. Trump is FILLING the vacancies on the lower courts with conservative judges. That is NOT the same as packing the Supreme Court by ADDING judges.

Figster Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 I thought the fly was stuck in hair spray for a minute. I kept waiting for Harris to end one of her answers with " and you have a bug in your hair Mike" It was a big sucker and she was staring right at it. 4 minutes ago, Bray Wyatt said: Harris did not show up well, I didn’t see any leadership qualities in her.

US Egg Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 It wasn't as much as a debate as it was a chance to gain insight as to who, should the Presidential winner be unable to fulfill their obligation, would be the replacement President.

Buffarukus Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) i think a easy win for pence is to simply bring up the fact she called joe a racist/rapist and blew it off later as it was just a debate tactic...easily could have shown how she picks and chooses horrible insinuations as nothing more then smear tactic and uses them just for political gain. didnt watch it all but it was a easy win on her obvious card she would play. as for trump, making any insinuations about changing anyones healthcare is suicide right now. being the one to take credit for calling off stimulus talks yesterday is also nuts. no clue what he was/is thinking with these tactics.

Dub Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Pence did a pretty good job, maybe one of the upcoming debates can be a tag match. I like Trump not being a typical politician but he could tag Pence in from time to time to get the msg across a bit more gently. The Harris/Biden ticket is a woke joke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) If a moderator does not interrupt a Biden (or like Harris tonight) as they go off about how "bad the economy is" and that Obama handed him one in recovery and look at the unemployment now with one simple freaking follow up: "Vice President Biden, your partys governors are enacting the most restrictive lockdown measures/mitigation in the country....California wants you to wear masks in between bites of food at restaurants; DC's restaurants are going extinct; same in NYC...Sir, how can you complain the economy is trash yet at the same time maintain a situation where we cant possibly be as employed and earning money like we should?" You can't have this both ways. Social distance and half capacity AND "we're really going to get the economy rolling!" Um. No. If that question, in addition to "what is the long term plan for schools if there is no vaccine?" aren't asked, the American people should be furious. Those 2 questions should be 30 minutes minimum at the next debate. Without interruption. Biden will just want to keep finding ways to take shots at the President as if both situations are his fault. And when Biden says that, the moderator needs to press him on the dynamics of Distancing and capacity making that and basically living impossible. Nothing else matters. Not one other topic do I give a dam about. And Trump needs to press it if the moderator that interned for Biden won't.
