would you like to be on the nuclear button it became clear you didn't want the sweaty guy from California in the vice presidential debate in 1988 Dan Quail characterized himself as a republican version of a young John Kennedy which teed up his opponent Lloyd Benson perfectly Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine Senator you're no Jack Kennedy there were the wordless missteps the body language gaaps at a debate in 2000 Al Gore audibly sigh there's differences and in another debate that year Gore gets a little too close to George W bush on stage any little tick or habit that a candidate may have is something something that voters could seize on and it could change the way they view the candidate analyst Hans Nichols believes if the September 10th event is the only debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris there will be more pressure on both of them to perform well at that debate and to not mess up of the two Nichols believes there's more overall pressure on vice president Harris
