Elaine Quijones is not going to control the debate. She should stop interrupting Kaine while he’s interrupting Pence who isn’t answering the question.
Pence is too rigid.
Kaine is doing way too much interrupting.
Yep, interruption on top of interruption. Quijones is going to have to assert more control for this to be anything more than the two of them talking over each other.
Kaine a little more tight, on-message. But he’s interrupting too much.
Mike Pence looks like a guy who is not happy his son likes to dance.
<seen somewhere on Twitter>
There is the tax opening. Jump in it Kaine.
This “open discussion” format is not working…
Kaine is coming off really badly here - Pence is keeping his cool and Kaine is playing the Trump role of looking like he’s trying to silence him and talk over him. Ignoring the actual messages and sides, Pence is coming off better now.
I wish Sen. Kaine would stop interrupting Gov. Pence.
I think Pence’s demeanor is excellent, so Kaine should shut up and let him talk; I suspect that the more he says the less sense he’ll make.
ETA: Holy shit this format sucks.
Elaine is trying to pen Pence down, he’s slippery.

I just noticed MSBC has Kaine on viewer’s left and Pence on the right; the opposite of where Trump & Clinton where last week. Also Kaine as a red tie, and Pence has a blue right. So boring.
“Donald Trump has created a business worth billions of dollars.”
“How do you know that?”
Miss Quijano just told them to pipe down when the other is talking but I wish she could have just told them “shut the fuck up”.
Seriously? “There they go again”? A shoutout to a 36 year old quote? More than half the population will not get the reference, I’d bet.
mr pence uses reagan line.
Kaine has two glasses of water under the table while Pence has only one. Is he better prepared?
Pence has the advantage of a deeper voice. And he can keep his drone going while Kaine tries to get a word in edgewise. Very frustrating opponent. And the moderator is doing a shitty job of keeping order.
The fact checkers will be up all night and this is only a half hour old.
