Did the VP debate change a single mind? A predictable clash between two solid professionals Charles Lipson

It was a predictable clash between two solid professionals, who said what they came to say, and not one jot more.
Both evaded the awkward questions. Pence never explained how a second Trump term would handle pre-existing medical conditions and Harris never renounced a potential court-packing scheme. Neither answered questions about abortion beyond repeating their parties’ positions.
We did learn Harris admires Abraham Lincoln. Pence admires police and first-responders. The controversy surrounding these bold positions should die down over the next week or two.
Moderator Susan Page jumped over the low bar set by Chris Wallace, but she made two predictable errors. She asked some biased questions and stuck to a formulaic format that produces two parallel interviews. When a real debate threatened to break out, she stepped in to quash it. Voters were left exactly where they were when the night began.
Oh, yes, and children are our future. The final Q&A made clear. We can all rest a little easier after that was settled.
