Why Mike Pence Didn’t Defend Donald Trump - Time

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence shook his head in disbelief. Hillary Clinton’s running mate had just criticized the top of the Republican ticket for something he’s said. That’s not accurate, Pence responded.

The pattern was set at the beginning of the vice presidential debate Tuesday: Tim Kaine would bring up Donald Trump’s past remarks and Pence would deflect them with denial or simply ignore them.

“I’m happy to defend him,” Pence said at one point, before apparently thinking better of it. A full-throated defense never came. - Time

Never came because Pence didn't have a rehearsed answer and can't think on his feet like Tim Kaine and Hillary Clinton can.

The video clearly shows what we saw last night, lying Pence, not able to defend or play off his rehearsed script. The audience didn't see it and the instant polls didn't see it, BUT JOURNALISTS DID. Mike is blank faced liar.

... 2.) Got Pence to bold face lie at least 3 times, 3.) Contrasted himself and didn't come off as a bald faced liar like Pence and Trump
