- And it won't move the needle for either party -- nm - decline Oct 4, 20:03 1
  - the VP debate never does, but I do generally find it interesting. -- nm - Tim Oct 4, 20:13

  - I've been thinking Clinton should travel all over Ohio and PA praising Kasich. "I can work with Republicans like Kasich" - Max Oct 4, 19:56 1

Pence setting up his 2020 run tonight. -- nm - Tim Oct 4, 19:23 6
- He doesn't have a 2020 campaign. He shouldn't have put his name on the Trump ticket if he wanted to be POTUS. -- nm - David Oct 4, 19:47 3
  - This -- nm - Bacon Oct 4, 19:50
  - I mean, ask Paul Ryan about that, and Romney wasn't even a disaster. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:48 1
    - "Paul, you should be speaker!" "Nah, I'm gonna run for President." "lol" "Okay, fine." -- nm - Tim Oct 4, 20:20

- a hahahahahahha... hee - Reagen Oct 4, 19:25
I thought that Canadians were polite 8( -- nm - Jd Oct 4, 19:19 1
- Canada also has assholes. Sad fact. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 21:07

- If only Kaine knew how to defend it or anything else without mentioning Donalds tax returns or that bin laden is dead. -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 4, 19:20 3
  - I thought he handled it very well. I think he's handled most of this well. -- nm - pmb Oct 4, 19:22 2
    - I thought so, too. He pivoted, but came right back to answer the actual question, then pivoted again to wrap up. - ReluctantCynic Oct 4, 19:29
    - I wish I agreed. He has come across angry and figity all night -- nm - Jovian Oct 4, 19:25
- I mean, there's no way Bill could spend that much on hookers anyway. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:20
polite people don't throw bottles of water! -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 19:18 6
- "It looks like a can of beer" Incorrect, it was a Blue. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:21 2
  - just so I can blend in in the future, you're saying that isn't beer, correct? -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 19:23 1
    - Indeed. Were is a Mill Street or Steam Whistle I might have gotten upset at the wastage. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:24
- Or beer cans -- nm - Jd Oct 4, 19:21
- I bet he's from Montreal. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:19 1
  - probably eats horse meat and foie gras -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 19:20
eject that guy. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:18 1
- (impressive arm tho) -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:18
One rant about the debate (ignore this post, I've just got to get it off my chest) - crash davis Oct 4, 19:17 4

      - I've been alternatively bemused and horrified most of the time, thus entertained but hey its tied in the seventh inning -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 19:11
"Moral of the story is, force your nephew to throw with the wrong hand and he might become a mediocre relief pitcher." -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:01 4
- Did one of the candidates actually do that? That's a terrible idea. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 19:06 3
  - the anecdote about Cecil. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 19:07 2
    - I have the game on mute. Still, it's a terrible idea. -- nm - Krusty Oct 4, 19:08 1
      - Its not your kid! -- nm - Todd Marinovich's dad Oct 4, 19:10
Pence Relaxes Onstage By Imagining Entire Debate Audience Burning In Hell -- (link) - Beaker Oct 4, 19:00

Can Kaine Bring the Pain to Defective Mike -- nm - Beryllium Oct 4, 18:56
I've only been watching for a few minutes but Pence is on the defensive the entire time. - Tim Oct 4, 18:56 2
- Kaine is making sure to say "Donald Trump" every minute or so. Thats why Pence has to play defense. -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:58 1
  - saw my first Congress or Senate add today where the Dems had trump front and center with the GOP candidate -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 18:58
As the debate goes on, I feel that as an American I must say "Go Orioles" -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:55

this is a minor quibble but I want to fact check if you can actually can consider a Liberty University student an all-star football player - crash davis Oct 4, 18:44 6
- They're in Division VI-A -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 4, 18:45
- Samkon Gado! - ML Oct 4, 18:45 4
  - Pence brought up a guy some minutes back as an all star football player from Liberty. Mea culpa, I didn't know they had a team -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:46 3
    - my favorite team though is from Trump University -- nm - Pence Oct 4, 18:53
    - Ah. OK. -- nm - ML Oct 4, 18:51 1
      - I knew they had a debate team. -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:52
Tim speaks about twice as fast as Pence. I like how fast he thinks and puts thoughts together in cohesive sentences. -- nm - Mara Oct 4, 18:42 6
- He seems much sharper. Pence follows the script that feelings mean more than facts. -- nm - pmb Oct 4, 18:55 1
  - "I feed your pain." "Say again?" "I feel your pain." -- nm - Max Oct 4, 18:58
- "Next question: Rorschach lightning round." -- nm - Max Oct 4, 18:45
- he seems relentlessly optimistic, although i think he's let some easy points about Trump's failures as a businessman go unanswered. Pence is dark -- nm - mr monkey Oct 4, 18:44
- I like that he doesn't make ever statement with the implication "white people be scared, non-whites are coming if Hillary wins" -- nm - MDH Oct 4, 18:44 1
  - Oh, well, yeah, that too. -- nm - Mara Oct 4, 18:45
Seems weird that Kaine is on the left but looks to the left at the moderator. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 4, 18:42
That's an effective relief pitch -- nm - JD Oct 4, 18:41
If it's possible to get a negative percent of the African American and Hispanic vote Trump/Pence might just do it. -- nm - MDH Oct 4, 18:37
I really want to punch Pence and his feigned earnestness in the face. - pmb Oct 4, 18:37 3
- So do I. I smack to wipe that smug, elitist, self-righteous, all-knowing smirk into next week. - ReluctantCynic Oct 4, 18:43
- Oh, yes. That's his stock in trade. -- nm - Mara Oct 4, 18:41
- omg so bad. - Jovian Oct 4, 18:39
1) how does he not fucking score?! and 2) I was 99% sure he was going to catch that ball -- nm - Beaker Oct 4, 18:35 1
- luckily it's not going to be a factor. -- nm - Reagen Oct 4, 18:38
I got a throbbing Trumboner. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 18:32 2
- I have my quibbles, but so far, I'm kind of impressed with both of 'em and the debate overall. - ReluctantCynic Oct 4, 18:39 1
  - Oh, I am not bothering with the debate. There's baseball on. Real American stuff. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 4, 18:48
I'm recording but not sure I'll watch it. I don't think Pence will melt down like Trump -- nm - crash davis Oct 4, 18:30 3
- No, it's nothing like Trump. Pence has a sense of propriety. He's not a flaming narcissist or a bully. -- nm - Mara Oct 4, 18:36 1
  - yeah, I just watched a go around on Social Security and got reminded that proper politics is boring - crash davis Oct 4, 18:38
- no not at all. he is way more slick than Kaine. And it shows. -- nm - Jovian Oct 4, 18:31
