The amount to which Pence is calmly, effortlessly, flat out LYING is somewhere between impressive and chilling.

Also this moderator is so loving worthless.

The actually scary part of this debate is that this is what Democratic presidential candidates have to look forward to for the rest of time. Next election in 2020 there won't be any easy Trump style crazy people to poke with a stick until they self-destruct in a ball of fiery rage. You'll just get smug white jackasses calmly and directly lying for 90 minutes and rejecting any and all attempts to connect with reality.

He was crafted to win the Primaries, a place where you can say "gently caress off" and get 30% the vote.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Turned on the debate a bit ago and Kaine is not very good at this, at all.

Though his Foundation reply isn't bad.

I kind of love that they both cracked up when reminded that the question was about North Korea. They both know the absurdity of the way they're forced to "debate".

I think Nate Silver's live blog stuff is right

Nate Silver posted:

Another thought: I think Pence is doing a better job of executing his strategy, which is basically just to pirouette around any time he’d have to defend Trump. Whereas Kaine is swinging at a lot of pitches but not really following through. So judged on the basis, I’d give it to Pence, so far.

But I’m not sure that it’s a great strategy, because I think Pence’s nonresponsiveness could make for some good commercials for Clinton’s team in Brooklyn after the debate. So Pence could be setting himself up to win the actual debate but lose the post-debate debate.

So these comments calling Pence some kinda debate warlock is dumb but I just want Kaine to be hitting him better. Why no religious freedom stuff?

She would have done a lot better than this, that's for sure, but I don't think it would've been the complete pasting that we got. The problem with this kind of bullshit is that the absolute best you can do is hold your own.

This is what frustrates me. Fortunately that smug douchebag will be dealing with a demographic mix that's 4 years less white and more Latino.

He absolutely is, I think the reason he decided to jump onto Trump's ticket is for even more national exposure. I'm not sure he cares that the exposure is bad, especially seeing has how Donald "Bad Exposure" Trump succeeded in the primaries.
