*** SDMB Live coverage, VP Debate. 10/04/2016 ***

Like I said before, Pence had the “deep voice advantage.” His horseshit sounded reasonable, sometimes.

Yes, he’s a better speaker.

Anyone besides me think that Mike Pence looks like Cotton Hill?

Ok where’s the meme of the VP candidates sitting at the table, but Kaine is wearing a sombrero and Pence is saying the line. Someone get on that!

I finally figured out who Kaine reminds me of: Mr. Haney.

That moderator is responsible for Longwood.

Sweeeeet.

Here’s the hashtag -

Well, I’m off to bed.

If anyone’s going to whip out that Mexican Thang, they better do it soon.

Some gold:

And finally:

I love the modern Internet.

WHOIS data is all public information, and this is on news sites. I’m not putting anything new out there:



Registrant Name: Danilo Alfaro
Registrant Organization: 
Registrant Street: [OK, mods, I'll redact this, phone number, and email.]
Registrant City: Portland
Registrant State/Province: Oregon
Registrant Postal Code: 97213
Registrant Country: US

His Twitter has mentions of it.

FastCompany has info as well:

Side note: Back in the Dotcom Bust days, there was a website called FuckedCompany which parodied the overblown hype on FastCompany and focused on doomed Dotcoms. That name has a certain desperate relevance today.

WIRED actually got an interview. In other news, WIRED still exists:

The campaign should send him, at the very least, a nice gift basket.

My favorite:

@jeffjarvis: “I’m going to quit my job, buy a taco truck, and call it Whip Out That Mexican Thing.”

I relish the idea that Pence gave a huge gift to the porn industry.

These were the only few minutes I caught and Pence just flat out fucking lied.
He’s not a stupid man. Even if his followers don’t read, he does. He knows full well that Trump’s foundation is deeply corrupt. And he knows that the Clinton foundation has an excellent rating. And he lied about both of them. It wasn’t an evasion or a different interpretation or point of view. He distinctly said something that he knows to be untrue.

He lied about charity. He should be deeply ashamed of saying anything about his “faith” again, ever.

CNN/ORC instant poll.

Pence 48%
Kaine 42%

Slight edge to Pence, but if you dig down into that pdf you can find a number of areas in which Kaine beat Pence.

I don’t see how this could move the needles much.

He needs to franchise it so we have them on every corner.

According to reporting by NR, Trump is very unhappy with Pence:

Apparently for not defending him well enough, but also because he upstaged Trump by doing better!

It does seem that Kaine was trying to help Clinton, and succeeded, whereas Pence was trying to help Pence, and also succeeded.

There are a number of short columns/articles/op-ed pieces at that link and none of them say what you said they’d say.

Look at the tweets at the top.
