Vice President Pence clearly outdebated the former prosecutor from San Fransisco in Wednesday’s forum, energizing Republicans on issues of the economy, dealing with COVID-19, making health care affordable, and his defense of fracking.
Meanwhile, the perpetually pre-adolescents of the Democratic Party are still giggling and declaring a fly as their MVP.
That’s right, a fly was more popular with Democrats than anything said by their own vice presidential nominee, Kamala Harris.
But who can blame them?
Harris was light on policy, got instant fact checked by Pence, and generally came across as annoying.
Her childish glares and snotty smirks reminds us of the popular high school girls who know they are pretty but still inflict a cynical kind of cuteness to lord over all the other cliques of nerds, jocks, and stoners.
No wonder Democrats cheered for the fly.
On the issues, Pence cited legislation authored by Colorado’s U.S. Sen. Cory Gardner as an example of the Trump administration’s record on western land use and the environment.
Some Sen. Cory Gardner legislation gets a shoutout at the VP debate.
Pence, defending his environmental record, touts Trump signing the “Outdoors Act,” apparently shorthand for Gardner’s Great American Outdoors Act. #cosen #copolitics

The smackdown on Harris’s blatant lie that she and Joe Biden support fracking was our favorite home run by Pence.

Fact Check: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and John Hickenlooper all want to end fracking and destroy over 230,000 Colorado energy jobs. #copolitics https://t.co/bWUR21QYpy

Then there’s that one attack on Trump Harris failed to launch that will sound vaguely familiar to Coloradans.
Kamala Harris talking about President Trump’s low federal tax bill…
Anyone checked in with Jared Polis on that lately? #copolitics #cogov #coleg https://t.co/3pfcqFvVyq
