    Did like: The radiant smile when the moderator told the two that their microphones had been cut.

    Did not like: “During the last four years, Kamala did this”, “She had enough time, why didn’t she do that”, and so forth. Dude, she was not the President, and the President is not the King. I was waiting in vain for someone to point that out. Also, what’s with using the first name all the time? Would he have done that if the VP was a man?

      I figure it doesn’t look good for prospective vice presidents to point out it’s an almost completely ceremonial role, but I totally agree with you.

      Depends on how ethnic the man’s first name is compared to his last name.

        Only if we’re strictly talking about the Republicans. I know if the Democrats ever started playing that stupid game, we would call them out on it in a heartbeat.
