Vice President Mike Pence and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) will meet next week in the one and only vice-presidential debate, which is scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 7, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
Though the VP debate is not usually important, it is significant in 2020 because Joe Biden will be 78 years old in January, making Harris the dominant figure in a potential Biden administration.
And news overnight of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis means that Pence is slightly closer to the presidency than usual.
Pence is a solid debater. He doesn’t make too many drastic moves, and he doesn’t make many mistakes. With a talk radio background, and four years in the spotlight with Trump, he will not be easily shaken — nor will he land too many zingers.
All eyes will be on Harris. She has kept a low profile since being nominated to the ticket in August. And with polls showing Biden ahead, there is a real prospect she could be leading the country very soon.
Harris’s past debate performances give some indication as to what she will do, and how she will do.
She excels at set pieces — rehearsed attacks that take advantage of an opponent’s weaknesses.
Last June, at the first primary debate, she attacked Biden for his associations with segregationists and his opposition to busing. “There was a little girl in California who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools, and she was bused to school every day. And that little girl was me.”
On defense, though, Harris is very weak. Her campaign essentially collapsed after the second primary debate, when Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) went after Harris’s record as a prosecutor in San Francisco and California.
Gabbard came loaded for bear with facts about Harris’s opposition to new DNA evidence for a death row inmate, and about the thousands of people she sent to jail for marijuana possession — even though she herself admitted later to have smoked marijuana in college.
Pressed to defend her record, Harris tried attacking Gabbard’s inexperience: “I am proud of that work. And I am proud of making a decision to not just give fancy speeches or be in a legislative body and give speeches on the floor, but actually doing the work of being in the position to use the power that I had to reform a system that is badly in need of reform.”
Democratic voters were not impressed with that response, which was too defensive. Harris went downhill from there.
In the Atlanta debate last November, Kamala launched a blistering personal attack on Gabbard: “I think that it’s unfortunate that we have someone on the stage who is attempting to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, who during the Obama administration spent four years, full-time on Fox News criticizing President Obama.”
The Hawaiian parried her easily: “What Senator Harris is doing is unfortunately continuing to traffic in lies and smears and innuendos.”
Harris will be stronger at the VP debate. She has learned, and her career as a prosecutor, a liability in a left-wing Democratic Primary, is an asset before a national electorate.
She can be expected to focus on the coronavirus issue, given Trump’s diagnosis and Pence’s role in leading the COVID-19 task force. Pence can counter that with stories about the bigger picture: ventilators, vaccines, and a rapid economic recovery.
Her most significant weakness is her left-wing record. Not only is she the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, but she has supported every radical policy in recent years.
She joined a Black Lives Matter protest in front of the White House just hours after rioters there had attacked police and journalists — an experience she recalled with pride as she praised the founders of the movement, who are proud revolutionary Marxists.
Both Harris and Pence will try to keep the tone civil, after Tuesday’s presidential brawl. But it will be a tough fight — and one to watch.

SHE’S CORRUPT, AMORAL, BRIBES SUCKING BUT
ISN’T THAT WHY BIDEN WANTED HER TO BE V.P?
SHE’S A SOCIOPATH LAWYER!
https://kamala-harris-sociopath.blogspot.com/2020/09/kamala-harris-amoral-corrupt-bribes.html
Tucker Carlson of Fox News calls Harris a corrupt and dangerous
fraud who sees laws and powers only as means to punish her enemies,
pursue her agenda, and get elected.
KAMALA HARRIS - I
CAN CON THEM! I'M A LAWYER, IT'S WHAT I HAVE DONE MY ENTIRE BRIBES SUCKING
LEGAL CAREER!
All of this is, if we can be permitted to use
Biden’s catchphrase, “malarkey.” Harris has already proven herself as a trusted
servant of the interests of the rich and powerful at the expense of the working
class. The Wall Street
Journal wrote last week that Wall Street financers had
breathed a “sigh of relief” at Biden’s pick of Harris. Industry
publication American Banker noted
that her steadiest stream of campaign funding has come from financial industry
professionals and their most trusted law firms.
*
There is something fitting in the selection of
Harris to co-lead the Democrats’ ticket. The response of the Democrats to the
mass multi-racial and multi-ethnic protests against police violence that
erupted earlier this year was to divert them into the politics of racial
division, using the reactionary and false claim that what was involved was a
conflict between “white America” and “black America,” rather than a conflict
between the working class and capitalism.

During her
decade-and-a-half tenure as a chief prosecutor, Harris would fail to prosecute
a single case of priest abuse and her office would strangely hide vital records
on abuses that had occurred despite the protests of victims groups. PETER
SCHWEIZER
She somehow served as
San Francisco district attorney from 2004 to 2011, and then as California
attorney general from 2011 to 2017, and never brought a single documented case
forward against an abusive priest. PETER SCHWEIZER
According to San
Francisco election financial disclosures, high-dollar donations to Harris’s
campaign began to roll in from those connected to the Catholic Church
institutional hierarchy.” PETER SCHEIZER
“However, I would like to encourage my fellow Democrats to
approach Senator Harris with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a prosecutor and
California State Attorney General, Harris has engaged in blatantly unethical
behavior for her profession and embraced positions that actively hurt her
constituents.” JESSER HOROWITZ
Harris has
often been described as a "politician on the make," someone who will
do whatever is expedient. Writing for RealClearPolitics, Debra
Saunders calls Harris a "progressive
opportunist." Yves Smith, looking through her less than
progressive record as California prosecutor, would alter that to "opportunist to the
core." JEFFREY FOLKS
The
best-case scenario is that she’s a progressive who repeatedly violated her own
principles so that she could promote her career. In the worst-case scenario,
she’s just another corrupt, rotten, regressive prosecutor. JESSER HOROWITZ
How
come you wouldn’t prosecute Catholic priests for sexual and child abuse? Where
was your empathy? JACK HELLNER

“It’s almost

who works in the Police Department’s narcotics division. “The message
needs to be sent that it’s not OK to be selling drugs. It’s not allowed
anywhere else. Where else can you walk up to someone you don’t know and
purchase crack and heroin? Is there such a place?”…
Police say drug
dealers from the East Bay ride BART into San Francisco every day to prey
on the addicts slumped on our sidewalks, and yet the city that claims to
so desperately want to help those addicts often looks the other way.

According
to the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s
2017 report, illegal
immigrants, and their children, cost American taxpayers a net $116 billion
annually -- roughly $7,000 per alien annually. While high, this number is not
an outlier: a recent study by the Heritage Foundation found that low-skilled immigrants
(including those here illegally) cost Americans trillions over the course of
their lifetimes, and a study from the National Economics Editorial found that illegal immigration
costs America over $140 billion annually. As it stands, illegal immigrants are
a massive burden on American taxpayers.
LEGALS FLEE THE LA RAZA WELFARE STATE!
MEXIFORNIA: The Globalist Democrat
Party’s Vision of America
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskillhas identified California Senator
Kamala Harris as the party leader on issues of immigration and race. Harris
wants a moratorium on construction of
new immigration-detention facilities in favor of the old “catch and release” policy for illegal aliens, and has
urged a shutdown of the government rather than compromise on mass amnesty.
Migrant enclaves already are at the

California—not Mississippi, New
Mexico, or West Virginia—has the highest poverty rate in the United States.
According to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty Measure—which accounts
for the cost of housing, food, utilities, and clothing, and which includes
noncash government assistance as a form of income—nearly one out of four
Californians is poor. Kerry Jackson
California’s de facto status as a
one-party state lies at the heart of its poverty problem. With a permanent
majority in the state senate and the assembly, a prolonged dominance in the
executive branch, and a weak opposition, California Democrats have long been
free to indulge blue-state ideology while paying little or no political price.
The state’s poverty problem is unlikely to improve while policymakers remain
unwilling to unleash the engines of economic prosperity that drove California
to its golden years. Kerry Jackson
As Breitbart News reported, if chain migration is not ended — as President Donald Trump
has demanded — the U.S. electorate will forever be changed, with between seven
to eight million new foreign-born individuals being eligible to vote because of
chain migration, and overall, an additional 15 million new foreign-born voters.
No Justice for Taxpaying
Americans
By Howie
Carr
But the real double
standard kicks in when the undocumented Democrat gets to the courtroom. A
taxpaying American can only dream of the kid-gloves treatment these Third World
fiends get.
Illegal
aliens continue overwhelming the state, draining California’s already depleted
public services while endangering our lives, the rule of law, and public safety
for all citizens. Arthur Schaper
The costs of illegal immigration are
being carefully hidden by Democrats. MONICA SHOWALTER
The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates that California
spends $22 billion on government services for illegal aliens, including
welfare, education, Medicaid, and criminal justice system costs. STEVEN BALDWIN
Heather Mac Donald of the Manhattan Institute has testified before a
Congressional committee that in 2004, 95% of all outstanding warrants for
murder in Los Angeles were for illegal aliens; in 2000, 23% of all Los Angeles
County jail inmates were illegal aliens and that in 1995, 60% of Los Angeles’s
largest street gang, the 18th Street gang, were illegal aliens.
