Keep in mind that the VP is the bulldog. He's the fighter in the trenches.

More importantly, Senator Kaine is dominating Governor Pence.

He's starting to rattle Pence now, which is good, but the start wasn't very photogenic.

Kaine is beating him into the ground.

I don't know what else these other posters are watching.

Pence sounds dazed/sleepy/high - just don't understand what some see in this style - like some sort of drugged xtian preacher.

I'm very proud of our ticket. He has a wealth of knowledge unlike Gov. Dodge and weave. I think Tim is doing great!

Hillary is great, Bill is great, Obama is great

Kaine is lucky to be running with Hillary. This will he the highest point of his career as he will NOT be our nominee in 2024.

She's the better half of the equation.

Pence is the better half of the Trump?pence disaster.

No I wouldn't rather have him at the top of the ticket. Did Tim Kaine run over your dog because nothing else about your position makes much sense given his performance in this debate?

That's the hallmark of a progressive.

Blind partisanship is the hallmark of the other side.

and is doing his job as attack dog, pounding the fundie nutjob Pence with facts, bulletpoints, zingers.

Kaine is wiping the floor with Pence, who is constantly squinting and repeating his canned lines, shows no signs of mental flexibility.

Hillary picked Kaine, but I have to say I am really impressed with him tonight. I have a new appreciation for him. I don't understand why so many people are hard on him.

How people see things differently. I'm on an incredible high from smiling so much. Now I absolutely love Kaine. Clinton was a genius picking this guy.
