“My uncle…was a cop.”
Pence is coming across better overall in terms of demeanor, but it would be nice if he would actually answer the question every now and then instead of deflecting constantly.
Pence just doesn’t shut up, he goes on and on. Elaine, use the stopwatch.
My fave part was the uncomfortable 2 second pause punctuated by 4 people doing loyalty laughter. I heard that Kelly Anne is in the crowd.
Trump is in NV. WITH HIS PHONE!
Pence’s police speech is pissing me off. It’s classic re-direct.
ETA: Is anyone else experiences some Max Headroom-ing on YouTube? It’s lending an amusing and surreal tone to this but I wish it was more frequent.
It be a whole lot easier if she could just press a button and mute there mics. Or deliver a small electric shock to the candidate. Whatever’s easier.
Since at least the 1968 Nixon campaign, the phrase “Law and Order” has been code for “Keep the nggrs in their place.”
I’m truly astonished that Pence and Trump have so little historical sense as to make it front and center again.
Kaine just jumped in when the moderator was trying to pen Pence down on racist law enforcement. Dude! Let him squirm!
Who says it’s a coincidence and unintentional?
Pence hit a home run!!!
That was Trumbo. You’re trying to watch the game too, right?
Kaine is repeating Trump’s “greatest hits” of offensive comments but the moderator doesn’t ask Pence to respond.
Everything Pence says is about going back to the “good old Reagan days.” Didn’t work then, won’t work now, and just sounds awful to me. But I detest him, so obviously I’m prejudiced by that.
What I hate is when he sounds reasonable when in fact, he’s bat shit crazy.
So far, I haven’t seen anything that moves the needle one way or the other.
Agreed. He should have let the moderator try to pin Pence down. Then, when the Pence refused to actually answer the question, then he should jump in and simply point out that he didn’t actually address the question.
Pence can ramble on indefintintely. Q has to turn him off at the end of his time, really.
LOL!
No, Hunter.
I’m channeling my inner RNC predictor app, which enables me to predict the outcomes of contests before they happen.
Hunter Pence just hit a grand slam off of Noah Syndergaard.
Even Bentsen-Quayle and Biden-Palin didn’t move the needle. This is just entertainment.
Okay, so obviously Pence is defending a shit sandwich. Kaine has better position on the issues. But people who are already familiar with the issues aren’t going to vote for Trump. So this debate is aimed at people who are ignorant and just want to vote based on getting a feel for the candidates.
Pence is looking calm, composed, thoughtful, authoritative. He’s passing the eye test - he looks like the president from a movie. Kaine is flustered and not nearly coming off as well. Pence is making a much better defense of a shit sandwich than Kaine is of the superior position. And in that way, Pence is signifiicantly beating Kaine currently.
It seems they (Pence/Kaine) can ask for time to respond. Pence has only asked once that I’ve seen. Kaine is hoping all over it.
Oh I wish Kaine were the one actually wearing that photo shopped earpiece thingy that Hillary “wore” to the town hall. That way we could tell him that Reagan’s son – I actually think it was conservative stick-up-the-ass Mike Reagan this time – who says Reagan wouldn’t be down with this ticket.
Was it Mike or was it Ronnie Jr?
