Donald Trump Has Turned Mike Pence Into a Vice Liar

[ffr]

The Indiana governor delivered a polished debate performance, but there was one striking similarity with Trump's earlier performance.

Throughout the vice presidential debate on Tuesday night, Tim Kaine used the same tactic repeatedly: citing something terrible that Donald Trump has said and asking how Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, could possibly defend such a thing. At one point Pence, who kept his composure throughout, simply replied, “I’m happy to defend him.” The question is: How happy is Pence, really? Can he look back on the debate as a success after he repeatedly lied in order to run interference for Trump?

Purely on the level of stagecraft, the evening was a win for Pence. The Indiana governor is a much better dissembler than Trump because, as a professional politician, he doesn’t get personally entangled with the issues he’s disputing and instead argues his case with the aplomb of a lawyer.

But even though Pence delivered a polished performance, there was one striking similarity with Trump’s earlier debate performance: He told a lot of lies. That’s the position Trump has put him. To defend his party’s nominee, Pence must lie; but to defend his own honor, he must tell the truth—thereby betraying his party’s nominee. - NewRepublic

Poor 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.

1. Pence was already a liar and a huge piece of woman hating shit.

2. As someone who has had the "joy"

of having him as my Congressman, and now Governor, you can tell Pence is lying if he's talking. He's a polished piece of shit.
