Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : Pence is a model of decorum compared with Trump.
32% : But, in Tuesday's debate, the candidates' microphones will be muted whenever it's not their turn to speak, which may deliver a deceptively restrained, genteel facsimile of Trump to the television audience.
26% : For the purposes of the debate with Trump, it's difficult to imagine Harris botching the essential study in contrasts: prosecutor vs. criminal, yes, but also normie vs. weirdo, superego vs. id, adorable nieces vs. Large Adult Sons, homemade flapjacks vs. Trump Steaks.
15% : Still, Tuesday's debate matters more than most: because of its cataclysmic predecessor; because it might be the only one between Harris and Trump; and because Harris's campaign window has been so narrow.
13% : Hillary Clinton objectively trounced Trump in all three of their debates (and was physically menaced by him in one of them) and it didn't matter.
2% : The lack of hot mikes may also stymie some of the open verbal sparring between the candidates, giving Harris less of an opportunity to go on the offensive against Trump in the prosecutorial style that she wielded in Senate hearings with the likes of Bill Barr, Brett Kavanaugh, and Jeff Sessions.
