Pence was really running for president tonight.

He'll pretty much be the president anyway if Trump wins. And since I think Tangerine Boy will be impeached or resign within his first two years in office, Pence will then officially have the title.

Terrifying, I know.

I got the same impression- Trump as figurehead, with Pence as the day-to-day workhorse. NBachers Oct 2016 #5

I couldn't watch very much--turned it off early.

But he looked and sounded presidential, at least early on. Calm, cool, collected.

Comrade Trumpsky is more of a "big picture" guy.

Kaine reminded me of a manic Hubert Humphery; Pence reminded me of Cheney. God help us if trump and pence get anywhere near the White House.
