“Standing here as a pro-life candidate with DOnald Trump.” Wonder how many abortions Trump paid for over his model-boinking career? How many he paid for for lil’ Don Jr. and Eric? ---

Kaine’s last third was much better than the first 60 minutes. He calmed down a bit. ---

Again with “war on coal”. That doesn’t have the resonance you seem to think it does, Governor. ---

Well Rachel Maddow’s right, _nobody_ came out of this looking good, not even the moderator. ---

The two families are chatting with each other. Unlike the Trump family which beat a rapid retreat in the last debate. ---

Rachel Maddow. - Ping pong vs multi-ball debate. She points out that Pence spend a lot of debate denying everything Kaine said Trump had said. ---

> [@Count\_Blucher](#): > > Mike Pence (_or Race Minion of “Jonny Quest”_) may be an Evil As Fuck, racist, homophobic jack ass; someone willing to heartlessly de-fund AIDS research, all healthcare for children in poverty, and all of the Planned Parenthood locations that he can get his leathery claws into, _but he can speak in public_. > > [/SIZE] True, but after all, he is a career politician. But he keeps dodging hard questions on Trumps stands. Obviously, he’s not on board with some of Trumps crazy talk. ---

Wow, Pence really lost it at the end with the comments about the dangerous illegal Mexicans. His face also started looking more and more like he was sucking on a lemon. ETA: I notice that Pence is becoming more and more orange… ---
