“Did you work on that a long time?” That Reaganesque rejoinder from Mike Pence — one of many — effectively put Tim Kaine in his place during a debate that exposed the depths of the Hillary campaign’s demagogic cheapness.
Pence looked like a statesman; Kaine, rudely interrupting him for much of the debate, looked like a clumsy hatchet man and shameless party hack.
Kaine’s labored lines and sweaty lunges contrasted embarrassingly with Pence’s smooth and substantive debate performance. Pence deftly ignored much of Kaine’s immature invective and directed the audience’s attention to Hillary’s failed record and the clear themes of the Trump campaign.
Kaine devoted most of his energy to rattling off his opposition research, much of it too insiderish and transparently canned to impress anyone. Pence, speaking much more slowly and authoritatively, looked directly at the camera (something Kaine never did) and reiterated basic points about Hillary’s tax-and-spend policies and feckless foreign policy. That proved more effective than any point-by-point rebuttal could have. Pence deftly answered the litany of accusations against Trump by noting that Kaine was indulging in the very “insult-driven campaign” he pretended to find so shocking in Trump.
Of course, insufferable pundits, who last week were whining about Trump “taking the bait,” criticized Pence for “not defending Trump” by refusing to take Kaine’s bait. It was a wise choice by Pence, who commanded the debate through his calm re-directing of it back to serious issues. Even the moderator, who never asked Kaine any pointed questions, found his off-topic trivialities and obsession with Trump’s tax returns tiresome enough to correct him at one point and say: “The question was about Aleppo, Senator.”

In 1945 after world war 2 the world lay in ruins. The USA stood alone untouched by war (except for Pearl Harbor) exhibiting the most advanced technoligical society ever created by man the result of free market capitalism.
Asia and Europe were a pile of rubble bombed back to the stone age and the other backward countries as in Africa were still in the Stone Age . The U.S. had all manufacturing
. None of our factories were bombed as they were to the ground in Asia in all of Europe.
Japan and China have now far surpassed the U.S. as is evidence by the 500 billion yearly trade deficit with China.
What happened to America ? shouldn't we have built on top of what we had with even more technology spurring on even greater production so that now we wouldn't even be talking about needing jobs or economic solutions? Politicians including Hillary Clinton and epitomized by Hillary Clinton sold out America.
Hillary's Husband especially sold out America signing a very bad trade deal called NAFTA which sent most of our companies overseas. But even today the media and Hillary herself perpetuate the lie that it was Clinton who has the great economy when it was Clinton that created the decline and our 3r world country status we are now in. Trump pointed this out in the debate and shut the wicked communist witch up with this reply. But the media lies and says that it was Hillary that won the debate with nonsense like “he called me miss piggy” another lie.
Now if you compare Detroit with Hiroshima you would think It was Japan that won the war.
Hiroshima and 200 cities in China like Beijing are now the shining city on a hill and we have decaying cities in America no longer Reagan's shinning city on a hill.
We need a Freeper registration and ID program here during these debate threads. I think the troll army invades in full force.
“Sent 3 pages to the MSM which admits he lost a billion and, by obvious consequence, legally hasn’t had to pay income tax since.”
No one knows how far forward the carried losses went. Trump wrote a book in 1997 titled: “The Art of the Comeback”. That means he was out of the woods in 1997. Personally I doubt his 1995 losses carried forward to now.
As the master of the shallow, I also noticed that Pence has a fantastic haircut - very controlled and martial. Kaine’s hair was messy and sweaty - like a small-town accountant whose hand is caught in the till. Uncle Billy in It’s A Wonderful Life.
Hillary’s health is a big issue now.
One heartbeat away.
Timmy’s performance swayed 2 voters to finally switch to Trump in my family. Thank you Timmy.
I saw enough of the “debate” to know that kaine is a vicious attack dog. Is he supposed to make hillary look like a sweet kind old grandmother?
Tim Kaine is the Creepy Clown
Kaine did score big on abortion and “trusting women” near the very end, but I don’t think even 30% of the audience was still watching by then. HE did outrageously quote scripture to support abortion, but many women are too stupid to get it.
Eric actually says “yes” about his father paying income tax in this interview;

“What’s taters, Precious?”
wow. I know I was talking to my mother on the phone and she was watching the debate. She said it was rough and I took it that Pence wasn’t doing well at all.
“What happened to America ?”
The Great Society and the New World Order.
If Hellary’s decision of Tim CoKaine as a VP pick was not due to concussion-induced dementia, then it was simply a case of impeachment insurance (the typical consideration for Demonicrat kakistocrats).
Last night’s debate eliminated any notion that CoKaine had even an iota of qualification to be VPOTUS, much less POTUS.
