Kamala Harris isn’t the best when it comes to debates, but fortunately she has something that Mike Pence doesn’t have: the media in her corner.
She hasn’t lost tonight’s debate yet, but Politico is doing their best to help cushion the blow:

Hey, being prepared for Kamala Harris performing poorly means having to make excuses for her performing poorly before the performance even begins.
Omg. Really?? If Harris is critiqued it’s because of her policy positions not her race or gender

Nope. It’s gotta be sexism. And maybe some racism sprinkled in. There is literally no other explanation for Kamala Harris sucking at debates.
Battlespace preparation for labeling anything Pence says that might hurt the Democrat ticket as ‘sexist.’ https://t.co/z5kRFW3INz

The media has already decided the winner. If Pence is tough, she wins because sexism. If Pence bends over ala Romney, she wins on points. https://t.co/CzYYRIYkev

Maybe Politico and their fellow Kamala Harris supporters should take a look at themselves instead.
It won’t change as long as ya’ll pretend any criticism is sexist. https://t.co/7F4wpo0kqz
