Kaine needs to stop interrupting.

[BainsBane]

It's rude. That's what Trump did during his debate.

[JI7]

1. standards are different for VP candidates

[Cakes488]

2. This is a little different than the first one

When he didn't interrupt Pence just when on and on...he has to get in there...but I agree, he must use tact and walk a fine line or he will appear rude.

[Evergreen Emerald]

3. He does not...this is a "conversation"

and if he does not...then he will not get a word in edgewise.

[tblue37]

4. Agreed. Maybe he is hoping to rattle Ted Baxter early on. nt

[JoePhilly]

5. Disagree. He's pushing Pence to answer the question asked.

[wishstar]

6. Kaine is doing great- not letting Pence get away with crap, Pence has interrupted too nt

[Greywing]

7. Pence just drones on and on "Hillary bad ... Obama bad" yada yada

It bothers me that Kaine is interrupting but Pence won't answer a question and just keeps going on with rehearsed talking points.

[Xipe Totec]

8. Yea, saw that. Totally agree

He looks like an over-anxious chihuahua when he does that.

Pence acts more like Hillary and Kaine like Trump.

[Drunken Irishman]

9. A lot of people thought Biden interrupted Ryan in 2012...

He kicked his ass up and down the stage.

[Johnny2X2X]

10. Kaine is killing him

This is a great performance.

[woolldog]

11. Nah.

I like it.

[JoePhilly]

12. Pence appears limited by Trumps insane behavior.

He's got to dial it back.

Meanwhile, Kaine can take some shots.

[trueblue2007]

13. i agree. if they don't stop interrumpting, i won't watch. KAINE LOOKS RUDE

I love him and he is so intelligent but he looks like Trump

[Cakes488]

17. Just think when you yourself are in a heated debate with someone else you interrupt

[bigtree]

14. he's not letting Pence's lies linger

...he's doing what he's supposed to do.

Kaine is doing what millions watching are nearly jumping through their tv screens to rebut.

[herding cats]

15. I'm sure this is by design.

And, Pence is interrupting, too.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

16. Kaine's only job tonight is to prevent Pence from gaining ground

He clearly has a better grip of the issues, too.

[BlueStater]

18. The interruptions might be annoying.

But if that's worst criticism of his debating skills, I'll take it. He sounds intelligent and is doing an effective job of defending Hillary and Obama and putting Pence on the defensive. Pence isn't answering most of the fucking questions.

[ucrdem]

19. I think he's getting the job done.

Pence is long on platitudes and if Kaine didn't swat them down just as fast they'd hang in the air like perma-farts.

[spiderpig]

20. Considering the average citizen couldn't pick up either of these guys out of a lineup

I think Kaine is coming across poorly. Belligerent. Pence is a cipher.

Sorry, guys - I'm on our side, but Kaine isn't helping us any.

Moderator is totally ineffective.

[BainsBane]

24. I think Kaine is improving as the debate goes on

But Pense's demeanor is better. Of course he's spewing one lie after another, but that doesn't seem to bother many.

[Sparkly]

21. The "moderator" needs to moderate.

She asks a question, and lets Pence launch into a speech that doesn't go anywhere NEAR an answer.

[radius777]

22. Kaine is going at him like a pitbull, sharp/tough, not let Pence's lies stand.

The difference between someone like Kaine interrupting is he is pounding with facts, is smart, knows what he's talking about - unlike Trump who is just a buffoon.

Pence is robotic, looks drugged like some kind of xtian cult fundie.

[RBInMaine]

23. PENCE IS NOW INTERRUPTING. STOP BEING JELLY-SPINED!

[MiniMe]

25. Pence needs to shut his mouth when his time is up

The moderator has tried to shut him up multiple times

[ucrdem]

26. Pence is back on the reset button.

He's nothing but a can of soundbytes.

[BainsBane]

27. Yes

but it's effective.
