Vice president ial candidates mike pence and couple of hours have now battled it out in a debate that restored some dignity to the u. S. Election process its a contrast to last weeks a bruising affair between donald trump and joe biden but did they shift the needle of Public Opinion in their guys favor im phil gale in berlin and this is the day. And i believe. That. Russian backed government of. My big. City because it is so densely. President ial. Debate and both seem. As both president ial candidates are in their seventys the idea that the Vice President. From the presidency has increased. Test abortion ministrations response of course but issues on which they clashed. After the recent chaotic president ial debate this seemed civil and much more. The 2 candidates seated at a safe distance divided by plexiglass barriers in the 1st and only Vice President ial debate. We need to. Interrupt. Just one of many issues of good. Tension between mike pence and Camila Harris the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in history of our country undermining the pens who hits President Trumps corona pandemic taskforce on excel went on the defensive from the very 1st day President Donald Trump has put the health of america 1st before there were more than 5 cases in the United States all people who had returned from china President Donald Trump do what no other american president had ever done whatever the Vice President would depend demick still affecting millions of americans leaving many worried about keeping their Health Care Coverage harris went straight on the attack if you have a preexisting condition Heart Disease diabetes Breast Cancer their common feel if you love someone who has a preexisting condition and you they dont say how many are you if the vaccine ends his response avoided specifics obamacare was a disaster for the American People remember well President Trump and i have a plan to improve health care and for present protect preexisting conditions for every american and heres the abortion also came up as always an important factor in american elections were informed. Im prolife i dont apologize for. And this is another one of those cases where theres such a dramatic contrast Joe Biden Kamel Harris support taxpayer funding of abortion all the way up to the moment of birth late term abortion they want to increase funding to planned parenthood of america issues before us can be more serious theres the issue of choice and i will always fight for a womans right to make a decision about her own body it should be her decision and not that of donald trump and and the Vice President michael pence though most viewings of the debate to place bertie at home some locations hosted small viewing parties like this one in cincinnati. Well i think it was a lot more like a debate than the previous recent president ial that be a lot more with what normally happens. I was pleasantly surprised to see more civility in this debate than the previous president ial debate. Piece on how much this Vice President ial debate will change the dynamics of the president ial race. Well lets get more on this from conservative political commentator david frew hes a Senior Editor at the atlantic was a speechwriter for republican president george w. Bush welcome to w. What do you think it did either candidate managed to shift the needle of Public Opinion that needle of Public Opinion has been slowly moving through the month of october as the Economic News gets worse as the disease news gets worse President Trump is sinking and sinking sinking below his 440 percent threshold i think we are on the way to a white epic result in the election of 120. Ok thats thats quite clear im coming harris is coming here is his condemnation of the trump administrations Coronavirus Response has got a lot of people talking so lets take a little listen. Well the American People have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any president ial administration in history of our country and here are the facts 210000 dead people in our country and its the last several months over 7000000 people who have contracted this disease one in 5 businesses closed on january 28th and Vice President and the president more informed about the nature of this pandemic they were informed that its lethal in consequence that it is airborne that it will affect young people and that it would be contracted because it is airborne and they knew what was happening and they didnt tell you. That it froome there was nothing new in that but it is interesting to have it all sort of put in one place to have damage and you think that accusation from not come last was. Sometimes there is a tent city to exaggerate the importance of campaigns and messaging people watch this debate watch this debate from home they watched it with their children at home they watched it out of work they watched it with businesses that are close they watched it knowing that their loved ones are sick made or have been sick in fear of sickness themselves they watch it knowing that the president is 6 they saw a Vice President who did not look well they know the chairman of the joint chiefs are all quarantining its not a matter of what you say its sort of what is true and what is true is the country is in desperate trouble and that is not just our country but all around the world and that is i think the reason why you see this this collapse in the president s support so what does he need to do then what needs to happen for the president to close that gap. By. I think he needs to build a time machine and go back in time and completely alter not only his response to this disease but i mean its her im being silly but look you cant you cant its done the consequences of this catastrophe are upon us and i think one of the things that the president s been struggling with and the reason is his is twitter behavior and other behaviors so radek is because he realizes that theres nothing to do at this point the record is the record the suffering is the suffering the economic the disease results are what they are there isnt some formula magic words i used to write speeches for president george w. Bush and one of the politicians sometimes believe not george w. Bush many of them is theres some theres a magic formula theres something you can say they can change peoples experience but actually people vote on is the base of what is happening to them every human being is the worlds leading expert on the life of that human being and they know where they are they know their children are not in school they know they are out of work they know theyre sick or fraid of becoming sick. Quite an Interesting Exchange that they had on rice last week the president of the United States took a debate stage in front of 70000000 americans and refused to condemn White Supremacists and. It wasnt like he didnt have a chance he didnt do it and then he doubled down and then he said when pressed stand. Stand by at center harris conveniently omitted the epa the president made comments about people on either side of the debate over monuments he condemned the k. K. K. Neo nazis and White Supremacists and has done so repeatedly youre concerned that he doesnt condemn neo nazis present trump has jewish grandchildren his daughter and son in law are jewish. This is a president who who respects and cherishes all of the American People and for what why do you think donald trump cant seem to shake this perception that his arrest. Well there are some subjective reality is also very personal reality which is dont trump cannot accept any kind of criticism so he makes an initial misstep even if its innocent and it usually isnt but even if it is he cant fix because fixing a misstep would be would be too it would require him to acknowledge a misstep but its also true that the president he draws strength from some dark places in American Life and hes not willing to stand up against them because he views the world only through one prism are you for me or against me he is not he is indifferent any other moral standard is only for you for him or against him so if you or anyone nazi whos against donald trump then hes against you but if youre a neo nazi who is for donald trump and he finds it hard to be against you its interesting that listening to your talk a man who has written for who has written speeches for a republican president. When you when you were talking about the current republican president here in your same aghast ive spent 4 years writing about this look we my party the Republican Party is a shattered party and it is important to understand how many republicans are opposed to President Trump the democrats one. More than 60 seats in the election of of of 2020 or 2800 and they won them in the areas where republicans have historically been strongest the seat that was held by george h. W. Bush back in the 1960 s. And stayed republican from 1966 until 2018 thats now democratic seat Newt Gingrichs former seat in the suburbs of atlanta thats now a democratic seat the seat of eric cantor whos the number 2 republican in the house of representatives under president obama thats now a democratic seat what we have seen is a rebellion of many of the traditional republican heartlands against the presence of donald trump ok back to they been hit by the pens versus harris was a much more dignified a fad than trump biden last week but there was still the interrupting issue will take a listen he will not raise taxes on anybody who make less than 400000. 00 here peel the trump tax cut mr Vice President speaking well im speaking be important if this is the truth the only going to repeal part of the trump talks if you dont mind letting me finish we can have a conversation ok please ok in 861 id like to dance. According to c. B. S. News mike pence interrupted the hottest 10 times the 5 interruptions and b c has it 16 times to her and i was mike pence being sexist or just rude. Might counts compared to dont trump is a psychologically normal human being is a can very conventional american conservative politician and and his career is on the line so hes hes under some pressure i think it was also evident and this is not something we the norms of our contrition journalism allows to come and it was also evident that there was something i mean and well about him he was not english it was very pale his eyes were pink he had a canker in the corners mouth and so he may not have been in top form he was trying to bring some level of assertion because after all he is side is his is side of the debate is losing the trump and pence ticket is anywhere from depending on whos counting 6. 00 to 8. 00 to 10. 00 or more points behind so there is a certain amount of psychological pressure under under him so he tried to do what he could do and he is is aware that theres an audience President Trump me has to keep happy who insists on the most aggressive possible response to any challenge especially want from a woman good talking to its very interesting that david frum from the atlantic thank you thank you.
