Instead \u2063of directly addressing the issue, he skillfully diverted the conversation towards the southern border and other immigration-related topics.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pence proudly declared, &#8220;I negotiated the \u200d&#8217;Remain in \u200bMexico&#8217; policy with the Mexican government. We used economic power\u2064 to bring them to the table. We even built \u200bhundreds of miles of border wall.&#8221; Notably, he avoided \u200dany mention of the DACA program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Expediting the Death Penalty and Skirting\u2064 Healthcare<\/h3>\n<p>When questioned about the future of the Affordable Care Act, Pence took a detour and\u2062 spoke at length about expediting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawyers-for-woman-on-death-row-request-president-trump-grant-clemency-a-week-before-execution\/\" title=\"Lawyers for woman on death row request President Trump grant clemency a week before execution\">death penalty<\/a> \u200bfor\u2064 mass \u2064shooters.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Expressing his belief in swift justice, Pence stated, &#8220;Justice\u2064 delayed is \u2064justice denied. If I become president, I will push for a federal \u200bexpedited death penalty for anyone\u2063 involved in a mass shooting.&#8221; However, he failed to directly address the future of the healthcare program.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Furthermore, Pence criticized his former running mate, Donald Trump, for \u2064considering proposals that would expand the government&#8217;s power.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pence responded, &#8220;Trump&#8217;s plan aims to consolidate more\u200b power in Washington, D.C. and the executive branch.\u200c As president, I \u2063intend to make the federal government smaller\u200b by returning resources and programs to the states, as outlined in \u200dthe 10th Amendment\u2062 of the Constitution.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Avoiding LGBTQ \u200dIssues and Taking Jabs at Opponents<\/h3>\n<p>Pence skillfully evaded a question \u2062about addressing violence against LGBTQ individuals, instead emphasizing his commitment \u2064to the safety and civil liberties\u200d of all Americans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>He confidently stated, &#8220;I&#8217;ll stand up for the safety\u2062 and \u2063civil liberties of every American, regardless of\u2064 their background.&#8221; He then swiftly\u200b shifted the conversation towards the topic of \u200bschool choice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Throughout the debate, Pence took\u2062 opportunities\u200c to attack his fellow Republican opponents. He criticized biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy for his ties\u200b to business in China.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pence remarked, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad Vivek pulled out of \u200chis business\u2063 deal in China. It seems that was around the same time\u200c he decided to start \u2063voting in presidential elections.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He also targeted Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida, accusing him of \u2063increasing spending in the state.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pence boldly stated, &#8220;Ron, you talk a good game about cutting spending, but you&#8217;ve actually increased spending in Florida by 30%.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Struggling for Airtime and Highlighting Faith<\/h3>\n<p>Pence,\u200b known for his strong connection to evangelical voters, often used his Christian faith to strengthen his stance. However, he was not given many opportunities to showcase this during the debate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Interestingly,\u200d a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/devin-nunes-to-newsmax-trump-wants-to-win-back-the-house-senate-before-wh\/\" title=\"Devin Nunes to Newsmax: Trump Wants to Win Back the House, Senate, Before WH\">recent poll revealed<\/a> that\u200b more Republican voters consider the former president to be a person of faith compared to Pence.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, Governor Doug Burgum, the candidate with the lowest polling numbers, fought tirelessly for more screen time. He attempted to redirect the conversation towards foreign affairs and criticized Biden \u2063for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/joe-biden-to-visit-general-motors-as-ceo-ships-electric-vehicle-jobs-to-mexico\/\" title=\"Joe Biden to Visit General Motors as CEO Ships Electric Vehicle Jobs to Mexico\">subsidizing electric vehicles<\/a> with batteries from China.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Burgum passionately interjected, &#8220;We are\u2063 missing the point! \u200dThe reason for\u200d the Detroit strike is Joe Biden&#8217;s interference with capital and free markets.&#8221; Unfortunately, his \u2063efforts to contribute were often denied, with a \u2062moderator even \u200bthreatening to\u2062 cut his microphone.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the challenges, Pence\u2063 and Burgum made their voices heard on the debate stage, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What\u2063 actions can be taken to \u200cstrengthen the ties between \u2063all Americans, including the \u2063LGBTQ community, and promote inclusivity and \u2062acceptance?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ties of all Americans, \u2064regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. We must ensure that every\u200c American, including the LGBTQ community, feels safe and protected.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Throughout the debate, Pence took\u2063 several opportunities to criticize his opponents&#8217; policies and proposals. He repeatedly\u2064 emphasized his conservative values and commitment to limited government.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Pence concluded the debate by stating, \u2062&#8221;We need a leader who \u2062will uphold \u200ctraditional values and \u2063protect the American dream. I have the experience, the principles, and the determination to do just that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall, \u2064Mike Pence\u2064 made a bold statement at the Republican debate by showcasing his experience and \u200dpresenting himself as\u2063 a\u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pompeo-endorses-kan-ag-schmidt-for-gov\/\" title=\"Pompeo endorses Kan. AG Schmidt for Gov.\">strong conservative leader<\/a>. While his remarks may not have \u200cresonated \u2063with the entire audience, he made it clear\u200c that he is committed to his conservative values \u2063and principles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former VP Mike Pence highlighted his White House experience during the Republican debate, disregarding the moderators&#8217; questions.
