Vice Presidential Debate (second debate)

[Saris]

With the second debate of this election season starting less than an hour away. I would like to see what y'all think how Gov. Mike Pence with face off with Sen. Tim Kaine during the Debate and after discuss(and stay with the point of this thread) how each person could have done better or worse.

I honestly didn't bother to watch it. I thought I was gonna have to get up at 3:30 am to head out duck hunting and I didn't want to be groggy driving to the lake. I'd love to hear how it went, though!

Depending on your choice of pundit(s), they both won in that neither appears to initially moved the needle for their respective senior.

From what i saw Mike Pence blew Tim Kaine out of the water, however the VP debate may not shine as big on many voters and still go off of the Presidential debates

With Trump as president the VP will clearly get a lot of political influence. (just like dick cheney had) so I d think this debate was actually important.

I think it was a Poor moderator. She allowed way to much disruptions where they spoke at the same time.

Before the debate I really had no idea about the two men... other than I heard/read that Kaine was boring.


I did get tired of hearing Pence lie about Iraq.
It was Bush that agreed with Iraq to pull out the US troops. And that is what created the vacuum that allowed Dash to take over so much territory... blaming it on Obama is a deliberate falsify of historical facts.

Can you blame Obama/Clinton for not finding a solution to put back US troops? sure. but that is not what he was saying. And that would have required the Iraq government to agree to it something they where clearly not interested in.


But I think Pence had the upper had for most of the time.
As long as Pence had to defend Trump he was on the defensive and clearly had no reply in some cases.
But when the topic was actually how to solve issues I think he was clearly better then Kaine.

Some of his view on the middle east I do not agree with, but he clearly know about the topic and have the needed knowledge about international politics about how NATO works and was able to engage in a good debate about some very serious issues. Something I have never seen Trump manage.

In my opinion Pence is way, way more qualified to be the US president than Trump.


So in my opinion Pence won and Trump lost...


If I could ask Pence one question it would be "why would you not make a better president than Trump?
