I'm really looking forward to the Pence/Kaine debate Tues

Pence is so crazy out of the mainstream (esp with his cremation and burial law for aborted and miscarried fetuses). He once described himself as "Rush Limbough on decaf" - how gross is that. God I hope Kaine kicks his ass.

Everything you need to know about the 2016 vice presidential debate

Who will moderate the vice presidential debate?

Elaine Quijano of CBS News will be the debate’s sole moderator. She is a correspondent for CBS News and an anchor for CBSN, the digital streaming network for CBS. This election, Quijano covered 2016 debates and both the Republican and Democratic national conventions for CBS. In 2011, Quijano revealed in a CBS Evening News report that the White House did not send condolence letters to the families of military personnel who had committed suicide. That report spurred the Obama administration to reverse that policy.

Quijano, a Chicago-area native of Filipino descent, is also the first Asian American moderator for a general election debate.

What is the format of the vice presidential debate?

The debate is divided into nine 10 minute segments. Quijano will start each segment with an opening question and then Kaine and Pence will each have two minutes to respond. Quijano will also use the leftover time in each segment to dive deeper into the discussion topic.

Pence has Trump's baggage he has to tow. That will be easy for Kaine to do a 1-2 knockout. Kaine needs to take advantage of that.

Kaine was/is a success at every position he's ever held, a brilliant individual with a strong depth of knowledge of all topics and a moderate/bipartisan approach to problem solving

Pence is a failed ultra-conservative governor with a retrograde worldview, who, like Trump, is not qualified to be president.

Hes pretty good. It is probably going to have zero impact but expect Kaine to run circles around pence
