"At this risk of agreeing with you."

That's it. Run this fucker out of town, GOP.

 

[Steel]

Don't confuse Pence being a smooth talker for anything. He's lying and avoiding facts just as hard as Trump. He may look better doing it but he's still a lying scumlord.

Well, yeah. But debates are lost and won on appearances.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Pence agreed with Kain

Pence is weak

Just like Tiny Trump

 

[A Human Becoming]

Kaine has better substance, but Pence has a better composure, even when he interrupts.

 

[Einhander]

For people complaining about Kaine interrupting, how else is he supposed to get a word in with this format?

Wait for his damn turn. There's no need to interrupt someone. Period. It's a common tactic in a debate to try to capture back the mind share of the public watching. All politicians do it, but Kaine lacks the tact and timing to do it smoothly.

 

[Bill Squabber]

Do ya'll not remember the Biden debate? During the debates, the Pres is supposed to look calm and smart while the VP is the attack dog. Kaine just lacks the charisma. But he's definitely doing better than earlier.

 

[Fluffhead14]

all you bedwetters should relax. the vp debate ain't gonna move the needle at all unless either of these guys blew a gasket or said something terribly stupid.

 

[QuantumZebra]

I'm not even joking or exaggerating here: Pence literally looks like a TV villain. Like, I just look at him and he straight up exudes villainy.

Ive been saying that from the beginning

 

[Vilix]

Kaine makes Hillary look like the greatest debater ever(she's a decent debater but...).

Makes you wonder why these two aren't running for president.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

Pence is kind of scary to watch. He's able to very smoothly speak pure bullshit without breaking a beat. It's a bit unnerving. If you're listening he's saying nonsense and avoiding answering certain questions, but he says it so calmly someone who isn't listening might think it "sounds" reasonable

 

[ilikesanta]

I had to stop, this is awful. I'll keep watching the thread for highlights.

 

[GKSilKamina]

"At the risk of agreeing with you..."

Oof.

 

[Zackat]

Kaine can botch this debate, but I'm still voting for her. Trump/Pence is not an option. At all.

Man the fact that you think many in here are even considering changing their vote over this is crazy. Nobody gives a crap about the VP debates.

He is just getting beat. That's all there is to it.

 

[KarmaCow]

Good lord this answer is awful.

 

[kevin1025]

I can't stop watching Pence. It's hypnotizing.

It's the smug look. It's fascinating. Also his weird hairline.

 

[makingmusic476]

Kaine's answer to the policing question was great.

 

[Kthulhu]

"stop talking about facts"

-Mike Pence

 

[Monocle]

Pence should be a TV series narrator. Like, on some gritty FX show or something. Soothing voice.

He should narrate Lionel Mandrake's summary posts.

 

[Sianos]

"At this risk of agreeing with you."

That's it. Run this fucker out of town, GOP.

see, pence isn't winning this either because he's still MIKEPENCE

 

[balladofwindfishes]

This is a disaster for Pence

Denying institutionalized racism?

 

[kcp12304]

gross

 

[Regulus Tera]

Thats it? Charisma?

Hes bodying Pence on facts.

Debates are about optics more than anything else, and Kaine is failing miserably.

 

[WeAreStarStuff]

This is the first time I've seen Pence. His policies are insane, but goddamn he's so natural at this. I know the guy is selling me snake oil, but it's so smooth.

 

[exmachina64]

It is an open discussion format. If he doesn't speak up, he will get run over. I don't understand why people aren't getting this.

It's not coming across well over TV and streaming and we should probably get away from the open discussion format.

At least on my stream, Pence's volume level is either higher or his voice naturally carries over Kaine.

 

[Username1198]

...THAT'S HIS MUTANT POWER!

Make America blink again

 

[User1608]

Just say agree you dolt.

 

[sprsk]

Finally getting to the reprehensible shit.

 

[JHoNNy1OoO]

Pence with the filibuster... this is why you always need timers.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Just tuning in. Who's winning so far?

Kaine on facts, but facts don't exist anymore, so...

 

[Manmademan]

is anyone else having trouble actually following the content of Pence's answer here?

 

[rokkerkory]

have they talked about anything LGBT yet?

would love to see Pence dance on it

 

[Goodstyle]

Ah shit, Pence is killing him. Good thing no one cares about VP debates.

 

[broncobuster]

Gotta hand it to Pence, though. Guy looks like a President straight out of a prerendered cutscene from a PS2 game.

 

[Arkeband]

Uh oh, Pence getting all butthurt about implicit bias and institutional racism.

Nothing worse than being called a racist!

 

[Wag]

Someone wake me up when it's over.

 

[Shao Kahn on the Lawn]

Thats it? Charisma?

Hes bodying Pence on facts.

This is probably the most consistent mistake Democrats make. Facts alone aren't going to get you there.

 

[neurosisxeno]

Is Pence imploring people to literally ignore police shootings?

 

[Gobias]

Fuck off with this bullshit

 

[Tamanon]

Oh no, Hillary said we all had some bias....

 

[richiek]

Man, fuck this asshole Pence.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Gotta hand it to Pence, though. Guy looks like a President straight out of a prerendered cutscene from a PS2 game.

LOL

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

"At the risk of agreeing with you?" Not a good look. Just agree.

Except in reality it isn't a bad look. At least as far a huge chunk of the electorate goes. Agreeing with the opposition is weakness or something.

The MGS villain Kojima never got to use

 

[Ashodin]

IS THERE ANY SORT OF TIMER? HELLO?

 

[fr0st]

Implicit bias is present on everyone is true but this guy knows what he really is saying.

 

[shanafan]

Kaine, let Pence talk. Pence let you talk without interrupting, give the man some respect.

 

[Hours Left]

What a gross answer by Pence.

"How dare you address racism."

 

[Johndoey]

Kaine should take this easily.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Kaine has better substance, but Pence has a better composure, even when he interrupts.

Right. It sounds like he's being thoughtful about what he's saying. Kaine on the other hand, sounds scripted.

This is literally Kaines playbook:
"Statistic/Example of bad thing. 'Here's what we're going to do'. Give run down of what 'we're going to do' means. "

That's it. He keeps saying 'Here's what we're going to do' or a variant of it. Just naturally talk about what you're going to do without having a big Exclamation of 'Here's what we're going to do'.

I was thinking the same


He has a future in fx announcements. I wanna hear him do the promo for always sunny and the americans
