“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.”

And they'll look us in the eye like the schoolyard bully, and say: "Whaddaya gonna do about it? Hunh? HUNH?".
Just like the corruptocrat Jimmy "sCummey" Comey did with Hillary's felonious emails...
Don’t horse around now and let the UN-Chosen take your goofy picture!
“At LEAST the horse’s HEAD is reflected in the window; and NOT the other end!”, said little Timmy.
Of course, there WAS the other Democrat debater - the moderator...
“A heartbeat away”

Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
How can he tell?
The aircraft carrier Her Heinous Hillary and her screening destroyers, the Media, won't have time to avoid the strike...
This is all classic Trump. Why can't they figure it out?
They're like blind rabid dogs.
I'll say something very un-PC. I don't trust women on life and death issues, period. They act out of emotion and not logic. Our trajectory to where we are now is directly correlated to women's suffrage. Women's brains are different than men's, if a woman can be convinced on an emotional level to kill their own kids, they will and do many times more than men do. Women to decide on whether a human lives or dies in the womb, hell no would I trust them. Besides its a specious argument, you want to get fake boobs, that's your body, you want to get a mole removed, that's your body, you want to get your appendix out, that's your body. You want to snuff out a human life connected to you via an umbilical cord..not your body, got it? This is not that hard.
How did you like his staring down at Elaine to get her to cut off Pence?
The best was when Pence outright laughed at Kaine and the lies he was spouting.
The only thing that could be said in Kaine's favor is that the other names on Hillary's short list for VP were even worse.

I was hoping Pence would say to Kaine, “You’re an a**hole, aren’t you?”
That would have been awesome! (-:
I’m Megan (26 and mom of six) and I endorse your post.
I agree, women should not be allowed to vote. Most of the women I know and grew up with are ridiculously uninformed and they make decisions in the voting booth based on emotional claptrap they see on TV. It’s no way to run a country.
And I just don’t get abortion in a day and age when preventing pregnancy is so abundantly easy to do.
Is that a real picture?
He’s crazy.
