At a time like this, which is better to lead the nation, a sick Donald Trump or a healthy Mike Pence. The White House decided that a sick Trump is better than a healthy Pence.
Which would be better, a lame Pence or a healthy Harris? That is a question looming in a debate between Pence and Harris. Why do I call Pence lame? He is Donald Trump's puppy dog sidekick who failed to guide the President to make better decisions in the policy and process of managing the COVID 19 epidemic. Pence failed.

Occupation Politician Lawyer
Pence described himself as a "principled conservative" and supporter of the Tea Party movement,[4] stating that he was "a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.
During the race, Pence used "political donations to pay the mortgage on his house, his personal credit card bill, groceries, golf tournament fees and car payments for his wife."[29] While the spending was not illegal at the time, it reportedly undermined his campaign.
During Pence's twelve years in the House, he introduced 90 bills and resolutions; none became law.
His committee assignments in the House were the following:
107th Congress (2001–2003): Agriculture, Judiciary, Small Business
108th Congress (2003–2005): Agriculture, International Relations, Judiciary
109th Congress (2005–2007): Agriculture, International Relations, Judiciary

Felony conviction rate
Harris as San Francisco District Attorney
Just prior to Harris taking office, the felony conviction rate was 50 percent;[58] by 2009, it was 76 percent.[59] Convictions of drug dealers increased from 56 percent in 2003 to 74 percent in 2006.[60][59]
Violent crimes
In the early 2000s, the San Francisco murder rate per capita drastically outpaced the national average. Within the first six months of taking office, Harris cleared 27 of 74 backlogged homicide cases by settling 14 by plea bargain and taking 11 to trial; with nine convictions and two hung juries, she attained an 81 percent success rate. She took 49 violent crime cases to trial and secured 36 convictions, for an 84 percent success rate. From 2004 to 2006, Harris achieved an 87 percent conviction rate for homicides and a 90 percent conviction rate for all felony gun violations.
She was an effective prosecutor and manager.
