I think the opposite. I think Pence is a good man at heart, but he caved totally on religious protection. He will be hammered for that by the moderator and that will make him look bad to both the right and the left.

Caveat to what I just said: God can change hearts and minds. And Mr. Pence can have a good answer for what he did...this may be a redeemable moment (politically speaking).

Any gaffe by Kaine will be ignored by the media. Seriously. Kaine could say he wanted to send a drone strike to kill Julian Assange and the media would basically ignore it.

And Kaine is going to look like a lightweight next to him.

What I don't understand is why polls give Hillary 80+% support among Democrats....

I work surrounded by Democrats and they bash Trump all the time, but will not defend nor standup for Hillary--but will say they don't like her either. Guess it could be that II bring up some very indefensible things about her, that one can't defend no matter what one's ideology....so maybe my challenges are skewing the results.

So my guarded suspicion is that sure maybe 80+% of Democrats who vote may go for Hillary, but there will just be a very low turn out for Democrats, way lower than previous years. The threshold of enthusiasm to vote is no doubt lower than the threshold to go to a rally, but there has got to be a real carryover when the contrast of rally attendance is so pronounced.

Wishful thinking. They are going to bombard Pence with topics and one-liners in this "debate" in order to keep the Trump campaign from gaining any traction.

It will be "gaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygaygay" all night to scare cowardly fence sitters from supporting an...omigosh...I can't believe I'm going to say this word...Christian.

I get that creepy clown vibe everytime I see Bill Clinton posing as a distinguished elder statesman.

Yes, those are GOPer’s who don’t want to vote for Trump in the first place.

It’s a Blue Star Family flag.

The apple fell *far* from that tree, apparently.

Pence is doing fine, against both the moderator and Kaine.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see him flying ChiCom colors, frankly.

The Jesuits. Isn’t that obvious? I’m guessing the pope really likes that guy.

If he once more says “I have great respect for Senator Kaine” I’m literally going to throw up. WAY too deferential to the creepy clown.

Fantastic performance by Pence. Kaine was beat on the issues as well as on manners.

Pence put the knife into Kaine’s stomach with a smile. Kaine’s behavior was over the top. He was out of control. Pence let him hang himself.

Not really; Pence needs to be very likeable to help Trump.

“I think Kaine looks like a creepy clown.”

Yes, you are right. Only difference is that he doesn’t need a mask.

Idiot Republicans want to throw away the Supreme Court and getting rid of Obamacare because Trump isn’t perfect enough for them.

If they don’t vote for him, they should shut up about Hillary.
They’ve lost their right to complain.

We can’t afford her. Hopefully, tonight’s debate made that clear.
