As noted prior to the presidential debate, this writer ignores them completely whereas their basic purpose has never been understood. A review of clips of last evenings vice presidential “debate,” along with perusal of commentary from an array of political writers and talking heads has provided no further insight regarding their purpose.

Common opinions among Democrat experts soundly conveys that candidate Harris clearly won the event while Republican counterparts concluded the absolute reverse. It’s a virtual certainty that viewers opinions came down on precisely the same partisan lines; their candidate won.

One critical point was made, however, regarding Mike Pence who left absolutely no doubt of his presidential capabilities. Displaying well-versed knowledge of issues presently most crucial to the nation, that acumen was aptly employed in two broad aspects. Used primarily to present the administration’s admirable performance record to date, Pence’s astuteness was conversely applied to refute numerous falsities, subterfuges and outright lies from his opponent. The display of the vice president’s talents should also serve well to confirm his qualifications for rising to the oval office when he replaces Trump four years from now.

Coming back to the debate itself and attempts to determine its purpose, several factors continue to apply. Regardless of the candidates utterings, prior to the contest, the Democrat objective included immediate plans for the raising of taxes, personal and corporate. National borders to be opened with a host of benefits granted to illegal aliens. Fracking is to be ceased. Environmental protections will return to prominence along with plans to “support voting rights and minority rights, including LGBT rights, multiculturalism, and religious secularism.”

For Republicans, continuation and enhancement of policy having already proven worth remains the objective, more than likely including further tax reduction, increased border security along with troop reduction across the globe.
