3. Another bad Mike. eom

14. (Heeeeeeheeeeee...)

4. Nothing like the I in teamwork

[RKP5637]

5. At minimal, Pence does not sound off his rocker and is way more in control of his thoughts and

actions than is Trump the buffoon!

6. Priceless. n/t

7. Huh? cheato's candidate supposedly did better and he's bummed?

I don't get it

[SeattleVet]

9. He's pissed off that Pence did better than *he* did at his debate.

Of course, a turnip could have done better than tRump did, but that's beside the point.

Not only did Pence throw him under the bus, he did it better than tRump would have. Don the Con is going to have some busy little tweeting fingers tonight!

10. Not just that, but Pence helped himself and didn't defend Trump

[calimary]

24. Yep! There's been many a comment from the chattering class this evening that Pence wasn't

representing Trump. He was making the case for himself - four years from now. He probably knows they're likely to lose. So he's now looking out for Number One. Even while playing this pious sanctimonious "maturity" act. One of them actually declared that the big loser of the night was Ted Cruz!

Typical republi-CON/CONservative with that lovely, altruistic classic Ayn Rand worldview: in it for himself. But then again, isn't that the essence of being a republi-CON/CONservative? You help YOURSELF. You're in it for YOURSELF. Screw this unity stuff and come-together stuff, it's about you pulling yourself up by your own boot-straps. Every man for himself, and selfishness and self-interest is the name of the game! Seriously. Are they expected to be their brothers' keepers? Why do they have to be their brothers' keepers? Hillary says "Stronger Together." The GOP says "it's all about ME." With a nominee who says together-my-ass - it's all about ME! I'M the ONLY one who can fix it (whatever "it" is)!

They're the "I/Me" party. Democrats are the "We/Us" party. So childish.

MAN what a thin skin The Donald has!

11. Thanks for the post

I guess that makes sense, in a topsy-turvy trumped-up world.

Makes me all the more convinced that this is The Twilight Zone.

8. I want to go on the record as saying this.

I read the "Trump" tweets tonight. They didn't read like him. Someone was in control of his account during the debate. Nothing too bad came across, but it was almost believable. Unless you've been following his Twitter for awhile you may not notice the change.


On edit: I'm saying this here because if it were Trump tonight he'd have been pissed when Pence wasn't outright defending him. Instead he was praising Pence.

15. Trump may have psyched himself - I picked the man, therefore I am the great one ?

[herding cats]

18. Maybe?

It still didn't have his usual candence. It came close once, maybe even twice, but that was all.

[hedda_foil]

12. Pence debated bigly. Hugely bigly.

[saltpoint]

13. "And say, Mr. Trump, it looks as if Pence

has bigger hands than you do as well."

[Laura PourMeADrink]

16. LOL. Creepy big hands or nutcase small hands? be hard to pick

[saltpoint]

17. Yep. The GOP ticket this cycle is

a total yuck sandwich.

[mountain grammy]

19. Pence isn't crazy, his policies are.

That's the difference. Donald has no control over himself.

[Chicago1980]

20. I guess Trump doesn't have the 'best words' after all.

21. It's not difficult to do better than Trump.

In terms of knowledge, experience, and the important issues:

1.) Hillary Clinton

2.) Tim Kaine

22. Ha, and the Trumpers think that they can use Pence to teach Trump how to debate.

Good luck with that.

[ffr]

23. Pence didn't sniff 60 times, so in that regard he did better.

But on policy and ideas, not one specific plan about anything! Pence was on his heals for the whole evening.

Loved Kaines zinger about Donald's personal Mt. Rushmore of dictators he admires.
