About the most obvious thing about the so-called debate last night is what Pete Buttigige said he'd learned from when Pence was governor of Indiana and he was Mayor of South Bend, "He's pretty comfortable telling a total lie." He's got the methodology of a talk-show host thing down pat, which for some reason some people seem to like, it's clear he's a practiced liar of the kind you regularly see on TV, no doubt where he got the look, too. He's a good example of the dangers inherent in the inability to tell the difference between content and packaging that I have to say TV hallelujah peddlers, especially those of the "prosperity gospel" typically have. He's crap with a package designed to sell.
That his brand of his much advertised "christianity" has so easily melded with the pathological mammonist-pagan-satan-spawn which Donald Trump is what should define not only him but the genera of white "evangelical" which has done the same thing. Everything about the Gospel of Jesus, the Law of Moses goes (except for a few of the things about sex, though that doesn't count if you're a Republican, oddly enough). No doubt Pence is as comfortable with Lindsay Graham's barely secret life as a frequenter of gay-prostitutes as he so clearly is with Donald Trump's flagrant adultery. "Lady G" as Graham is known to style himself in his sex life is as comfortable with Alito and Clarence Thomas's openly laying groundwork to overturn marriage equality and, no doubt other aspects of equality. But, then, Thomas is laying groundwork for the possibility of his own inter-racial marriage becoming what it would have been before, illegal in many states, no doubt that Thomas would use the same language as those who defended anti-miscegenation laws in his ruling, confident that it would never come back to bite him and his wife.
These are people of no integrity, of no morality, of no character. Mike Pence with his boring, white-bread white-face(bronzed), white-haired whited sepulcher is as good a symbol for it as anyone. The fly that landed on him and stayed there during the debate may have been as fit a symbol of the rot that lies within.
