It's pretty unlikely but I hope Kaine speaks some Spanish during the debate. It would make the right kind of people sooooo mad.

Kaine's been gaining ground since a weak start. Still wish he'd pull back on the interruptions.

dude what do you want? He literally called the entire concept of Pence's argument absurd and used facts to take it down. Do you seriously want him to just say 'yea well I hosed your mom, retard' and whip out an electric guitar?

So I'm confused, is Pence agreeing or disagreeing with the idea of preventing ALL Muslims from entering the country? Because he said he disagreed and then argued vehemently that it was something they should be able to do.

He's being deliberately vague because if he disagrees he isolates his base and if he agrees he isolates all non-deplorable people

So was there any kind of "winner" from this debate that most people would agree upon?

Pence looked better on-air, but only because Kaine didn't have an effective response to his steady stream of lies and flat denials that Trump said the well-publicized things he said. Pence dropped some easily disprovable and, in some cases, offensive sound bites that Hillary's campaign can use very effectively in ads, and there are some rumblings that Trump is pissed that people are saying Pence did better than him, so in the long run it's probably a net loss for the Trump campaign.

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

a. He's pretty popular in Virginia and since she picked him, VA's gone from leaning blue to safe blue (which it remained even during that month where Turmp's numbers surged)
b. He's a white man so he won't scare off whitey
c. He's Catholic and speaks fluent Spanish and lived in Honduras for a year, and the Hillary campaign was hoping this would help with their Hispanic outreach (obviously not as effectively as an actual Hispanic running mate but see b.)
d. He's devoutly religious and has some kinda-but-not-really-conservative opinions to appeal to conservatives who don't like Trump
e. Probably most important of all, Hillary actually has a good working relationship with him.

Not all of these things have worked out but they were all probably on Hillary's mind when she picked him.
