RNC Proclaims Mike Pence The Winner More Than An Hour Before The Debate

More than an hour before the vice presidential debate had even begun, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R) had already schooled Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.).

At least that’s according to the Republican National Committee, which mistakenly posted a glowing review of the GOP vice presidential nominee’s performance on its website Tuesday evening, long before the debate started.

“Americans from all across the country tuned in to watch the one and only Vice Presidential debate. During the debate we helped fact check and monitor the conversation in real time @GOP,” read a statement on the RNC website. “The consensus was clear after the dust settled, Mike Pence was the clear winner of the debate.”



he RNC also helpfully summed up Pence’s “top moments,” including exchanges on the economy and “Hillary’s scandals” ― none of which had happened. At least, not then.

Even if Kaine wipes the floor with that clown.

They need and want a close race.
