Never seen Kaine in a debate styled setting. I'm hoping he delivers because Pence is a piece of shit.

edit: please don't start speaking Spanish. I love that he can, but please don't.

 

[Veelk]

I keep thinking that Pence could probably make a good bond villain. He has that deathly look for it atleast.

 

[Dany]

Cool dad Tim gonna win this hands down

 

[Good Job Bob]

This will be the first time anyone has seen Kaine in public since the DNC.

 

[Slayven]

LOL great

 

[Spoiled Milk]

Who wants to pass the salt?

 

[Brazil]

Great OP.

 

[echoshifting]

Marvelous OP, I'm cracking up in Walgreens and people are looking at me funny.

 

[PhoncipleBone]

I keep thinking that Pence could probably make a good bond villain. He has that deathly look for it atleast.

He looks like he would be the guy they hire for sleazy 80s action villains when they can't get Henry Silva

 

[Reverend Funk]

This is a good theme

 

[bggrthnjsus]

amazing thread theme

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

Best OP I've seen in a while

 

[User 463088]

This will be the first time anyone has seen Kaine in public since the DNC.

Huh? He's done a bunch of rallies.

 

[WedgeX]

This is perfect.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Yes! Farmville, VA represent! It's so cool to have this kind of thing happen only 20 minutes from where I live.

 

[SlimySnake]

I wont be watching this. Iron banner week.

I dont think anyone is going to be watching this tbh.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Hopefully Kaine gets all his giggles out before the debate.

 

[Xe4]

Based OP. Looking forward to it, and I'm not sure how it will go. Hopefully Kaine whips Pence around a bunch, but honestly, good or bad, the VP debate has barely any effect on the race.

 

[The Lamonster]

VP debates are fun because we haven't yet seen these candidates debate in this election cycle as they weren't candidates in the primaries.

I hope Kaine brings up how Pence won't pardon the (black) guy who was proven innocent.

I wont be watching this. Iron banner week.

Fuck yes, I am so hyped for new gear. It can wait until after the debate, though.

 

[RustyNails]

Pigeon you outdone yourself. Great thread!

 

[gutter_trash]

Tim Kaine pros: was Governor during Virginia Tech massacre and can go to town about his stance on gun control and echoed them again after Newton, CT when he was Senator. The way Tim Kaine addresses gun control is really poignant and heartfelt

Tim Kaine cons: TPP comments LOL

 

[theWB27]

Pence is just as scary as trump. Thanks for running though so you could leave my Indy.

 

[Dany]

He's got this.

 

[Zach]

Heh. Good work.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

OP you did good. Real good. Doubt this'll be as much of a domination as last week was, but you can't have it all.

 

[The Lamonster]

Pence looks pre-Sith. Just wait until Trump wins, he will be full-on DARTH status.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Pence is just as scary as trump. Thanks for running though so you could leave my Indy.

I do wonder how many people they had to ask before they got to fucking Pence.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

The world will be watching! Not really, but I'm in. Might be the most substantive policy discussion we've had since the Dem debates.

 

[metalslimer]

No one will even remember this. Kaine isn't going to get tripped up and Pence will bs his way through this. I want Kaine to clobber Pence on his homophobia though. Since Trump is the nominee it kind of came off the table but he needs to remind voters that the Republican party is still horrific when it comes to lgbt issues

 

[FelixOrion]

Daddude: Your Stuff Is Looking Kinda Messed Up So I'd Like to Help/Guide You II: It's Straight Up Dad Time

 

[User1608]

Hah hah, awesome op Pigeon! Can't wait for Kaine to deal a knockout blow to Pence. The scary thing about Pence is he is nowhere near as well known as the others but unlike Trump he knows how to govern while being as bigoted as he is.

 

[Nafai1123]

Kaine is going to rip into Pence like a rabid Terrier.

 

[jack_package_200]

He's got this.

I said goddamn

 

[Fragamemnon]

I can't fault Pence for his approach to that style of chili.

 

[BitStyle]

Loving the OP

Let's hope Kaine does well

 

[Bonen no Max'd]

I do wonder how many people they had to ask before they got to fucking Pence.

I wouldn't be surprised if they picked Pence largely because they didn't want to end an A lister's on Trump.

 

[Reversed]

The OP for the Nth GOP debate thread (the YGO one) had me in crackles.

This is also a good one.

Let the games begin.

 

[FelixOrion]

He's got this.

I've seen this before

still though

unf

 

[studyguy]

This debate is basically gonna be Trump cleanup duty all night for Pence.
That said all we usually get from these are zingers and not much actual movement.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Gary has an old roach in his car, asks if you have tweezers and if you want to sneak out with him before dinner.

 

[HylianTom]

NO I WANT TO USE A NORMAL TELEVISION BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE 1990S

Okay, this got me.

Spoiler

yaaaaaay 90s!

 

[AstroNut325]

DAT OP! I'm going to miss the debate! I'm in class until 10pm PST.

 

[djkimothy]

Bring it on! i'll get the coffee brewing!

 

[AlexBasch]

Joe Biden reminds me of my exgf uncle.

The only reason I remember her is because he was indeed, the cool uncle, was damn hilarious and always brought crafted/indie beer that was so good. I miss him a lot.

Amazing OP.

 

[The Lamonster]

Kaine is going to rip into Pence like a rabid Terrier.

I'm not expecting this at all. Kaine is going to make the conversation about Donald Trump.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So pumped for this debate. I hope Kaine destroys him.

 

[RustyNails]

One thing I would change is Trump from cousin to uncle.

 

[SwiftDeath]

I'll be watching most likely.

Part of me wonders if the real terror of a Trump presidency isn't Pence actually being the one in charge from those quotes made by one of Trump's kids to Kaisch asking if he wanted to be VP, excuse me the most powerful VP with full control of domestic and foreign policy.

Trump has by far said the worse things and likely suggested a lot of the worse policies but Pence has routinely enacted terrible policies in IN. I see no reason he won't try to do the same as VP if he can get control.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

So all the peope in the OP are taking part of the debate?
