Official Vice- Presidential Thread Here

The moderator should jump in and press them if they are answering completely off topic or avoiding the question. They both did so, but Pence did that throughout.

What is the issue about packing the courts? Seems unlikely to me even if Biden Harris want to.

Also here is everyone’s reminder that the winner-take-all state electoral votes system is broken and can be changed. The talking points and lines candidates cannot cross are completely skewed to the swing states. Thanks.

Who’s voting Trump that voted Hillary 4 years ago? Nobody.

I would have agreed with that until the BLM issues arose in May. Now I think there are some who see BLM as more dangerous than Trump. They have a point too. I think the election will be really close.

LMAO. All that has happened is that MORE people support BLM, not less. The only people who don't support BLM, the cause, are uninformed racists and racists that watch Fox News and believe the bullshyte that they broadcast.

Failing to even try to deny intent to stack the Supreme Court dwarfs the importance of anything else, to those who understand government.

It's equivalent to the Russiagate/Ukrainegate coup attempt, but would fundamentally and radically alter the government for decades, so an order of magnitude worse. Whether or not you like the current and soon-to-be court makeup, don't corrupt the system any more than it already is.

The number of justices needs to be written into the constitution to insulate it from political wrangling.

You're voting for Biden????

Okay that settles it. I'm voting for Trump.

I'm not an American. But for months the polls have been showing more Americans support Biden than Trump. The gap has widened in the last week to 16 points. But, go ahead - waste your vote, if it makes you feel better.

Political wrangling? The Republicans would never do that. I'm looking forward to the sequel to "The Handmaiden's Tale".

There's 9 justices, the president appoints them when one dies, if confirmed by the senate. That's how it is, and is supposed to be. That's the most politics should be involved.

Start adding judges to tip the scales, and before too long, maybe after an old man like you is dead but soon enough to create havoc for the rest of us, there will be 15, 20, maybe 50 justices as the two heads of the snake ramp up their arms race for supreme court supremacy.

And NOTICE how even you have no comment whatsoever on whether it's right to stack the court, or any denial of the intent. It's obvious - and it's incredibly sleazy. All that supposed moral superiority of the Democrats just falls through the floor.

The number of supreme court justices is set by Congress not the executive branch. Control of the Senate is probably even more important than whether Biden or Trump wins.

And supreme court packing won't happen anyway. FDR attempted it at the height of his popularity and failed badly. It's just a scare tactic by Repubs.

You have a problem with stacking the court but you don’t have a problem with the despicable hypocritical bull crap the Repubs pulled regarding RBGs seat?

Reps had that right 100%.

Or how about gerrymandering? Rules for thee not for me.

One of the biggest problems with Trumps presidency is all of the norms he broke. Apparently conservatives are totally fine with those flood gates being opened, oh wait no they arent, its only okay for Trump. LOL.

Kamala failed to address if their administration would pack the court.

That question came from Pence, not the moderator.

Pence was asked by the moderator what they would do about preexisting conditions and he ducked that question and asked Harris the courts question.

Harris said she was going to answer the question then did not. Pence definitely won but that was the defining moment. The Democrats packing the court would be a terrible thing for our country and would send the existing political division spiraling way down.

The COVID fear-mongering was strong in Kamala.

Diversion. The court has already been stacked - with conservatives. Barrett would make it 6-3 (and 7-9 Catholic). But you are perfectly ok with the country's highest court becoming an instrument of an impeached and criminally incompetent minority party President.

Lincoln refused to appoint a judge in an election year, even though his party also controlled the Senate, and those hypocrites called today's Republican Party also said in 2016 that there shouldn't be an appointment in an election year.

What a Democrat administration will do after November will depend on what options there are for restoring some balance to the court - which will have completely been lost if Barrett is appointed.

But personally, I would support anything that flushed the corruption that is today's Republican Party down the constitutional toilet.

Not as much as you are. 16 points.

There seem to be a lot of them, because surveys of public opinion have shown a majority support for BLM this year.
