Everybody Won at the Vice-Presidential Debate, Except Donald Trump - NewYorker

Tim Kaine wore a red tie at the Vice-Presidential debate in Virginia on Tuesday night, and Mike Pence a blue one, and those colors offered a pretty good reading of the emotional temperature of the night: Kaine ran hot, while Pence was cool.

The debate had not been much anticipated, by the press or the public, and the general agreement going into Tuesday night was that it was likely to be a relatively tame affair, full of courtesies, in which two middle-aged Christian men enumerated their differences while seated. But that expectation did not account for how barbed the language of fellowship could be. “I’m going to see if you can defend any of it,” Kaine told Pence, after singling out Trump’s praise for dictators and casual talk about nuclear war.

The truth was that Pence couldn’t defend it—not much of it, anyway.
