3) If CPD is going to throw out the rules at this late stage, let's throw out the moderated format too. Let the American people hear both candidates speak to them and to each other for 90 minutes, equal time, equal footing. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

2) That might prove one of the fairer and more illuminating debates in the history of the silly CPD. No moderator cutting people off or leading with loaded questions. No interruptions. And the format is one that works perfectly in a virtual setting. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

1) @realDonaldTrump should do a virtual debate, but only under this condition: No moderator. The only rule: Trump's camera will be on for two minutes, then Biden's camera will be on for two minutes. Back and forth. 90 minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

Blah. Blah. Blah. All candidates are judged on whether they are likeable (Trump included). Kamala gets no pass. And let us be honest: Smirking is hard to like. Man or woman. — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting, given how many times the moderator told Pence to shush, and lectured about time. Also interesting, given all the predictions that poor Kamala wouldn't get to speak. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Also watching @jaketapper explain that somehow Harris was at a disadvantage because she was up against a white man. How so? She was given equal time. Given equal respect. Her performance is her own. (Meanwhile, lots of chuckling about the fly.) — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

CNN is very upset that Pence did not talk about this very important thing that "Americans" should know (health of president). We only get a briefing every day. Not so worried that Harris wouldn't answer basic question of whether she will completely restructure the judiciary. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

I am watching alternative CNN world right now, @DanaBashCNN talking about how Harris was more "respectful" about answering questions posed. You know, like that one on the Supreme Court, or the one on foreign policy, or the one on California abortion policy. (?) — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Finally. Again, for first time somebody (Pence) brings up that the FBI misdeeds (called out by the IG) happened under Joe Biden's watch. Of course, Harris is not required to respond. But what about: Buck stops here? Where is accountability for that record? #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

It would have been better to ask both campaigns about what they would do if they lose. To assume only one side won't concede is feeding a false media narrative. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

First half of debate was muddy. Second half is Pence's. She had no answer on foreign policy; no answer on court-packing; and doesn't have much of an answer on law-and-order. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Pence absolutely dismantles Biden/Harris on non-answer on packing the court. Harris refuses to answer the question. Pence comes back on it. She giggles. Then diverts . . . again. Pence comes back on it again. Brutal. Just answer the question. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

And OMG, here we go too with the "20 million preexisting conditions" nonsense. Complete fiction: #VPDebate https://t.co/QP9EYkLUNE — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Of course, Roe v Wade won't be overturned. But sure, let's go there. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Pence just answered a serious substantive question on Middle East policy, terrorism. Harris goes on tangent. Americans may not put foreign policy first, but they want to feel as if a person has a grip on the issues. It's a shame this segment so quickly got moved on. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

The president isn't Pence, and has his own style. But he should be taking notes: The straightforward formula here is two things: a)point out the radical agenda of Biden/Harris ticket and b) point toward an optimistic future. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

And I would note one of the first times it has even been talked about on a national stage. Which is a stunning indictment of the media's embarrassing coverage of Biden/Harris campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

The only thing useful about predictable "existential threat" section: a chance to talk about Biden's energy policy, and how many jobs it would destroy. (Also, Joe Biden MUST ban fracking if he wants to get to zero emissions electricity. Where are the fact checkers?) #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Paging Susan Page: The Atlanta Fed GDP Now estimate is currently for third-quarter GDP growth of 35%--which would be the biggest in history. Recovery not happening? Whaaaaa? #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Harris seems not to understand that the health of the American worker and family is connected to the health of the businesses that employ them. The notion of swamping a struggling business class with $4 trillion in taxes at this moment is crazy. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

Joe Biden has been transparent on his health?? C'mon man. #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org

Kimberley Strassel @KimStrassel

It's good to see Page is keeping control of this debate, but at the cost that she is not requiring anyone to answer to questions she is actually asking. Follow up!! #VPDebate — PolitiTweet.org
