I’m still hoping Kaine puts Pence on the ropes and keeps him there. Wonder if the RNC will use the same message they took down? ---

Here we have them, competing for a post notoriously described as “not worth a bucket of warm [spit/piss]” and “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived”. What fun. Yeah I suppose they’ll talk a lot about Donald and Hillary. I do expect Pence to at least stay on-message and take opportunities to score hits rather than go off on rambles. ---
