For real, Kaine is trying to EMAILS this tax poo poo and it's working just as badly.

yeah I have to say I wish he'd let this drop, there's a lot more debate left and he can't keep re-treading this all night

Speaking of conflicted, check out Pence's face.

you can tell that there's an internal monologue that's just screaming IT'S OVER! IT'S ALL loving OVER! YOU'LL NEVER BE PRESIDENT NOW, YOU IDIOT! over and over and over again

my hot take: nobody won on first blush. pundits will go for kaine but an ambiguous mix from both sides' peanut galleries

I think this is exactly how it will play, but I also think that Kaine didn't go into this to win the debate, he went into it to attack Trump and create lines of attack to discredit Pence as Trump's counterweight. Pence was a loyal soldier and if people are afraid of Trump and on the fence this debate isn't going to be what convinces them to jump on board the Trump train

why exactly are people saying kaine looked bad? he looked like he was jovially hunting pence for sport

because he repeatedly talked over the first asian female debate moderator in debate history

it was definitely lovely and dumb but he spent the whole debate swinging and Americans love momentum. I think Kaine won, at least if you are looking at what Kaine was trying to do (attack Donald Trump, the man running for president)

Kaine let Pence off so easy after that "every penny of the Trump Foundation goes to charitable causes" horseshit.

Kaine also set up to attack him on blocking AIDS research and assistance at one point near the end but then completely failed to deliver, which really frustrated me. I get that Kaine's goal was to go after Trump but I would have really liked to see Pence try to defend his record on that.

Why did HRC think picking Kaine was a good idea, wasn't there at least one person who could better attack-dog than awkward step dad

Because Kaine bumps her up a couple of points in Virginia.

Kaine didn't need to be stronger than Pence because the top half of Pence's ticket is an orange clown who starts twitter wars and thinks it's appropriate to attack a woman for gaining a little weight.

We kind of all got used to Uncle Joe but the VP isn't generally somebody's rabid dog that they sic on people, usually the VP is somebody popular but non-threatening that won't distract from the top of your ticket. Cheney and Biden were both unusual picks. Gore and Quayle were much more status quo. Kaine is a Gore.

edit: ^^ started my reply before your post came in, lol


yeah you see this is why Kaine won last night's debate

This was all he had to do. Needle Pence about Trump's record and show that not even Trump's VP can defend Trump's record. It doesn't matter what viewers or pundits think - ads like that commercial are going to have a lot more impact on this race than the VP debate ever would.
