A CNN poll comprised of 472 registered voters believes Gov. Mike Pence won last night’s vice presidential debate.
A no-brainer, really.
Sen. Tim Kaine was disrespectful, erratic and rehearsed compared to the calm, eloquent and poised Pence.
What’s crazy though, is that the poll consisted of more Democrats than Republicans.
41% of people identified as Democrats, to 30% Republican.
Think about that.
From CNN:
Interviews with 472 registered voters who watched the vice presidential debate conducted by telephone (landline and cell) by ORC International on October 4, 2016. The margin of sampling error for results based on the total sample is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.Survey respondents were first interviewed as part of a random national sample conducted September 28 – October 2, 2016.
In those interviews, respondents indicated they planned to watch tonight’s debate and were willing to be re-interviewed after the debate.
30% of the respondents who participated in tonight’s survey identified themselves as Republicans, 41% identified themselves as Democrats, and 29% identified themselves as Independents.

Kaine showed himself to be a boor and and a lout, which WE already knew.........now, EVERYBODY knows................
Kaine better check the room for ashtrays before meeting with her hineass.
Has-been Glenn Beck is bashing Pence for denying Trump’s remarks.
Have to say I was pleasantly surprised with Pence’s strong stance on Russia and KGB Putin. Trump very much needed a guy like him, although I’m sure our resident Putinistas are upset and conflicted about it, phony scum that they are.
I don’t think this one was too hard to call.
I guess Pence’s training as a talk show host paid off.
Yeah, how dare anyone stand up for Christianity! That bastard!
After last nite’s performance, Republicans and conservatives have NO EXCUSE not to support the Trump/Pence ticket.
You’re right: I bet Kaine dreads his next meeting with Mrs. Bill. It won’t be pretty.
*grin*
I wouldn’t want to be Kaine today. He’s going to learn right now why her staff is all women.
That’s just gotta be killing the folks at CNN!
dont have to like him or admire him to know he destroyed the oil convoys to Turkey that were supplying ISIS with money, pushed back the “moderate” rebels we are supporting in syria, and outed Turkey as a safe haven for ISIS
no coincidence that after 3 years of nothing, ISIS started to lose ground when Russia entered.
They didn’t do it for us, putin is an assassin, but he, not we, kicked ISIS in the teeth
Pence dominated, while there was no “knockout” during the debate... Pence just calmly dominated every round.... Just landing punch after punch to Kaines undprotected body and face... never with a enough force to knock him out, but hitting him so consistently and so routinely that you almost felt sorry for Kaine... it was like a pro boxer toying with an amateur having his first fight. Kaine left battered, bruised, bloodied, with a cut eye, exhausted and spent, and Pence just hopped out of the ring afterward without even have broken a sweat.
This literally looked like a Cheney V Edwards Part II... Pence completely schooled Kaine, and I think it was mostly because Kaine was told to just go out and attack and drop the talking points... and he clearly didn’t believe them even as he said them.. his body language, every time, was a man who knew he was lying, but did it anyway.
Had Kaine been allowed to just be Kaine and have an honest debate instead of being told go out there and just be a rabid attack dog with these lines and talking points, I think we would have had a very interesting debate.. instead we wound up with Kaine just looking a complete fool.
Never-was...........
Drudge is reporting that Hillary’s “Parkinson’s” head shakes returned today at a press conference. It seem every time she is stressed of it looks like things are going in the wrong direction she has a flareup...
Kaine and the “moderator” should be in those “Wanna Get Away”? commercials.

(excerpt from a long, detailed article)
First and foremost, in any review of the basics regarding Putin, the most outstanding fact is that he is a creature of the Soviet KGB, a truly diabolical organization nonpareil, which stood for murder, terror, and grand deception.
It was the Soviet Communist Party's tool for the brutal suppression of religion, including the persecution of Christians: denying them jobs and education; spying on and entrapping them; arresting and imprisoning them; torturing them in unspeakable ways; desecrating and demolishing their church buildings; infiltrating their agents into churches to subvert them. The KGB destroyed thousands of Christian churches, monasteries, convents, and schools, and slaughtered millions of Christians.
But it did not destroy the churches utterly. There remained an underground church, whose members were always at risk of discovery, arrest, torture, and martyrdom. Above ground, the KGB took control of the Russian Orthodox Church, which became a very useful organ of the Soviet atheist state.
In January 2009, Vladimir Mikhailovich Gundyaev, better known as Metropolitan Kirill of Smolensk and Kaliningrad, was elected, from a short list of three candidates, to be the 16th Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia, the highest position of authority in the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). The election was called to fill the post that had been left vacant by the death of Patriarch Alexy II, who had headed the ROC since 1990.
Documents from the KGB archives have confirmed what sensible observers had long ago deduced from his actions: that Patriarch Alexy II (also spelled Alexi or Alexei) was a long-serving KGB agent (code-named Drozdov, "Blackbird"), in other words, a traitor to his Christian brethren and the God he claimed to serve. Putin's KGB/FSB was taking no chances with his replacement. All three candidates - Metropolitan Kliment of Kaluga and Borovsk (code-named Topaz), Metropolitan Filaret of Minsk and Slutsk (code-named Ostrovskii), and Metropolitan Kirill (code-named Mikhailov) - also have been reliably identified as agents of the KGB/FSB.
Russia expert David Satter, a former Moscow correspondent for the Financial Times (of London) and the Wall Street Journal, wrote of the election in 2009 for Forbes:
According to material from the Soviet archives, Kirill was a KGB agent (as was Alexei). This means he was more than just an informer, of whom there were millions in the Soviet Union. He was an active officer of the organization. Neither Kirill nor Alexei ever acknowledged or apologized for their ties with the security agencies.
Because Patriarch Kirill is of central importance to the myth of Putin as the Saul-to-Paul, Christian persecutor-to-Christian champion, it behooves us to more closely examine the man. He has publicly presided over, and provided official benedictions and exhortations for, Putin's cynical and Stalinesque exploitation of Russian nationalism and Russian Orthodoxy. Josef Stalin, who had very nearly consummated the annihilation of the Russian Orthodox Church begun by Vladimir Lenin, reversed course in 1941. The reason? His erstwhile partner in crime, Adolf Hitler, had turned on him and had invaded Russia.
Stalin, needing all the help he could get, cut a deal with ROC Metropolitans Sergius, Nikolay, and Alexy. In exchange for their support in rallying the Russian people, he would cease (temporarily) the persecution and allow the reopening of churches and theological schools. In fact, Stalin's Soviet government paid for the rebuilding of many of the churches. The ROC was thus placed even more firmly under the control of the NKVD, which was later to be reorganized and renamed as the KGB. ..."

***********************************************************
"For 16 years Putin was an officer in the KGB, rising to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel before he retired to enter politics in his native Saint Petersburg in 1991.
He moved to Moscow in 1996 and joined President Boris Yeltsin's administration where he rose quickly, becoming Acting President on 31 December 1999 when Yeltsin unexpectedly resigned. Putin won the subsequent 2000 presidential election, despite widespread accusations of vote-rigging,[3] and was reelected in 2004."
"On 25 July 1998, Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin head of the FSB (one of the successor agencies to the KGB), the position Putin occupied until August 1999. He became a permanent member of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on 1 October 1998 and its Secretary on 29 March 1999."
