Related: About this forumTim Kaine’s (Successful) Debate Trap for Mike Pence - WaPo
Tim Kaine went into Tuesday nights debate with a singular strategy: to make it uncomfortable for Mike Pence to defend Donald Trumps rhetoric and record. He succeeded.
The stakes were high for Mr. Pence heading into the vice-presidential debate. There was Mr. Trumps poor performance in his debate last Monday with Hillary Clinton, his meltdown in the following days and Twitter attacks on former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, and the leak of pages from his 1995 taxes showing a loss of more than $900 million and suggestions that he may not have paid federal income taxes for nearly two decades.
Amid Mr. Trumps decline in polls, Mr. Pence needed to change the trajectory of the race and to settle peoples concerns about his running mate. Unfortunately for Mr. Trump, he failed. Worse, he barely tried. - WashingtonPost

He and his religious fanatics can NEVER preach to me about their GAWD.
