Obama having a record high approval record contrasts with this narrative, so this isn't an effective argument.

 

[Owzers]

Pence has nothing.

But he super serious, I am into his seriousness.

 

[Kusagari]

Who the fuck helped Pence prepare that didn't expect him to have to defend the outlandish shit that Trump has said?

I mean there literally is no way to defend it. Pence's strategy is honestly probably the best thing to do.

 

[KO Traveling Hobo]

"Why don't you trust women"
Good god almighty. Someone put Pence out of his misery.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

"I think the best way to bring people together, is to kick out some fucking Mexicans"

 

[BBboy20]

VP can't really do much in "rebuilding".

Spoiler

Or that you're Dick Cheney.

 

[bndadm]

Do we need a stronger military to win this war on coal?

 

[sprsk]

*rolls eyes* Because he keeps cutting him off before he can offer that defense.

Pence talks for 10 minutes at a time.

 

[Manmademan]

Wait why is it a sixty-four thousand dollar question? Why that number?

found the millennial!

 

[wumster3000]

Pence is done. Tim started off awful but man he is his own facts checker. He's very smart. Smarter than I thought.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

He looked terrible at the beginning, but he looks like he's dominating right now. It's like the caffeine buzz wore off.

Both Trump and Pence came down off the coke after the first half hour.

 

[BradC00]

has he talked about pence wanted to zap LGBT people?

 

[VistraNorrez]

Saying that Kaine is absolutely killing it and winning this debate is nothing more than confirmation bias. Are you serious? I loathe the thought of a Trump/Pence presidency but interrupting and screaming about taxes all night is winning a debate now?

They both were trash tonight.

In the beginning Kaine was too excitable but this is an open debate, they are allowed to discuss with one another.

 

[rekameohs]

"Obamacare" is like Family Guy's "9/11"

One of them couldn't even defend his own running mate for the entire debate. Not once.

That's the loser of the debate.

 

[Oriel]

War on coal?! Oh for fucks sake.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

Who the fuck helped Pence prepare that didn't expect him to have to defend the outlandish shit that Trump has said?

He can't.

It's indefensible. His team likely told him to try to deflect and spin, and he couldn't even do that.

Agreed. Kaine seemed to repeat talking points too much and pence devoted too much time to trying to defend a horrible human.

 

[mreddie]

Pence:

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

On perception/temperament, I think Pence wins. On actual substance of argument, Kaine destroyed him. I wonder which will win out.

I like that Kaine went for the jugular right at the getgo.
It's man against man, shouldn't look bad.

 

[Reverend Funk]

Are taco trucks the mexican thing?

 

[SlimySnake]

I want to have Kaine's babies.

 

[Gutek]

What the fuck are you talking about, Pence?

 

[Speevy]

War on coal.

 

[Leona Lewis]

Did Kaine speak in Spanish tonight? I missed the first half.

 

[User1608]

Pence did a bit better debating but he lost overall. You can't really defend shit, especially Trump's. Kaine wins. I wonder what the media and people will say though, because the first 25 minutes were certainly messy.

 

[Androidsleeps]

I'll be on my knees, waiting for some Mexican things.

 

[perfectchaos007]

How bad of shape is america in when we have a higher GDP than the European Union? Can't be that bad, is my point

Listen to the words, not the tone.

 

[ShinRPGamer]

Kaine missed a perfect opportunity to lambast Pence on his LGBT policies.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

"he's not a polished politician"

and

"why don't you trust women to make that choice for themselves"

just sunk pence so hard

damn

I'm glad someone finally said that to an important Republican politician on live television with millions watching.

 

[MIMIC]

Shit was tied

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Who the fuck helped Pence prepare that didn't expect him to have to defend the outlandish shit that Trump has said?

How the fuck do you prepare to defend that train wreck? What you should be asking is who came up with the idea for that "insult driven" nonsense.

Wrong, this keeps the tax questions until 2nd debate and hammers the point home to undecided voters who already question Trumps temperament.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Pence never answers the question or if he does not in any detail. Pence lost because he didnt even try.

I thought they were fine given how unpopular the candidates they're backing are. The VP's job is to be an attack dog on the campaign trail, go back into the box for 4 years, and do it again.

 

[yukianderson]

Watch the Trump campaign on the defensive 3...2...1....

"Why don't you trust women"
Good god almighty. Someone put Pence out of his misery.

That exchange was great.

 

[Tragicomedy]

He looked terrible at the beginning, but he looks like he's dominating right now. It's like the caffeine buzz wore off.

Sure. 15 rough minutes followed by him demolishing Pence for the next 75. Pence had nothing other than platitudes and a complete inability to defend Trump's own words.

"He's not a polished politician" doesn't explain racist, misogynistic language.

 

[UraMallas]

From the fullness of the heart, the mouth speaks.

Matthew 12:34

Probably the best moment of the debate for Kaine.

 

[Wag]

Oh thank god.

 

[Resident_UA]

I'm so impressed by Kaine after terrible first 20 minutes or so. Even more so than I was impressed by Hillary. He really put Trump on the defensive and it's all that matters.

 

[AlexBasch]

I'm kinda worried Kaine is going to blurt out "Hillary Clinton" any time he gets asked for anything after this.

"So is it gonna be a McBreakfast, sir?"
"Hillary Cl-yes.".

 

[WedgeX]

Do we need a stronger military to win this war on coal?

If we go back to using steam engine battleships?

 

[Brandon F]

Can someone summarize the Bible quote exchange?

Kaine utilized metaphoric intelligence which landed a punishing Ultra-Combo against the hyprocritical babbling goomba. Paramedics and other emergency services are en route to hopefully resuscitate the survived.

 

[mackattk]

Didn't agree with kaine at the start about how he handled himself, but he really turned around as the debate went on. He absolutely destroyed pence, imo.

 

[fr0st]

war on coal again wtf

 

[GitarooMan]

Pence got owned where everyone knew he would: race, social, immigration, foreign policy.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Lance Holt was better than this moderator and he was awful!

 

[rec0ded1]

We did it!
