Harris did exactly what the Dems were hoping for. She stay composed and allowed Pence to show he had no respect for a woman and would just talk right over her. Trump was a cast as a bully after the debate, and Pence will be cast as a chauvinistic piece of ####, flies and all, in the days to follow. Pence needed to be on issue, on message, and show a modicum of respect toward his female counterpart to make up for the disaster of the Trump performance, and show the whole ticket wasn't a pair of insane clowns. Pence failed miserably.

I was simplifying an appeal to pathos, but I agree with you.
