Kaine is starting to take control, the line about "did Donald trump apologize" was excellent.

Kaine looks like a fish-out-of-water dad that turns into a dog in a 1990s family comedy, and Pence looks like the pound owner antagonist that's constantly chasing him down.

Right on target.

Pence is struggling to defend Trump's positions in the last two topics.

Kaine is improving. Don't know if it will be enough to salvage the debate, though... not that it will matter.

Pence calls Trump's deportation plan nonsense? He doesn't agree with the top of his own ticket?

I see Jim Gilmore has advised Kaine on this debate.

Agreed, I don't think Kaine has had a great debate but that was one of the stronger moments so far.

I made the mistake of listening to the first part of this since I was stuck in the car. At least Pence managed to briefly touch upon the topic of the opening question while getting his canned talking points out. Kaine couldn't even bring up how he would be prepared to be president if the need arose. However, to be fair, Pence had a couple minutes before he had to answer.

I noticed Kaine got to do the second question first as well before I turned it off. I hope they alternate who goes first, because I think in this debate, with these two debaters, there is a definite advantage in going second.

Pence is refusing to defend Trump, which is his main job. Twitter is starting to notice this trend as well.

CRASH AND BURN PENCE. Kaine's jab on foreign policy caught him off guard.

Now the question about home-grown terrorism.

And Kaine's lose control again. If he could just argue his point without the smugness this would be tied.

That is what Pence has been doing for basically the entire time he's been VP. He's created some kind of alternate reality Trump.

Can't really blame him for that.

Trump has put him in an awful spot.

Kaine is improving. Pence has been on defense 95% of this debate.

So far, the biggest loser is the moderator.

Is it just me or does Pence only seem defending himself rather than Trump? Maybe he plans to run in 2020?

I think Pence will win on points. Kaine has been able to land some punches but his constant interrupting has hurt him from the start. Pence appears more collected and able to counter attacks.
