Especially if those outrageous charges go unanswered.. as Trump did in the debates... as Pence did in the debates.. as Trump has done throughout the campaign, being outspent $200mm to $10mm

Like I said after the debates, and no one seems to agree... Pence won the debate, hands down.... but it's a VP debate... no one votes for VP. His mission was to defend Trump against scurrilous charges and blast the lying crook... that's the measure of success, not who won a debate on points... by that measure, Pence lost, big time

As I predicted going into the debate, Pence prefers to stay above the fray... that's NOT what a good VP does.. he defends the Pres and attacks Hillary... he got interrupted 72 times by Kaine and many times by the Mod.. and he didn't say shit! Even on Rush, he praised the moderator, right after Rush trashed her!

The old adage fits - NICE GUYS FINISH LAST... if he had picked Allen West, West would be in offensive from the word GO

Furthermore.... I really believe that Pence had a pact with Trump as a condition for accepting the VP spot.. that he remain untarnished... just like Ryan held back, Pence is also... he's af afraid of being Palinized and doesn't want to get his hands dirty... which makes him an effective VP candidate... he may well be an excellent VP, but as a candidate, not really

A couple of days after the debate... outside of policy wonks and FR, what do people remember about the debate? 1. Kaine is a nasty unlikeable SOB and Pence is steady and knowledgeable... 2. Trump is hiding his taxes and said nasty things about women and Mexicans and others. That's how the steeple took it inAgain, Allen West would have added a huge value to the ticket.. Pence needs to vigorously defend his boss.... just my honest opinion
