All-purpose news and politics thread: Two Steps Beyond!

Goddamn, who knew your new nice-guy stepdad Tim Kaine could whoop the ass like this?

He's mostly winning by forcing Pence to defend Trump's words and issue positions, but he's got them all out to strike with. This is amazing.

I want to see the fact checking on this debate... man.

Like all the Trump quotes Kaine is rattling off I want to see the sound bytes because this is good stuff.

Kaine hasn't misquoted Trump once. Everything he's thrown out actually happened. The fact-checkers will get the specific interviews and debates, but Trump said it ALL. Pence also gave props to Putin on at least one occasion.

Well, he's had to win a lot of elections, and probably been in a lot debates.

Kaine can't help himself. He hears bullshit and he goes after it. LOL

Yeah. I think Pence having to play defense for Trump is the real handicap that's making Kaine win this so decisively.

"Hey, Mike? Here's a bunch of racist quotes, idiotic ideas, and clueless and insensitive statements. Say why they were all THE BEST."

It's like asking Pence to swim the English channel with a backpack full of lead.

Pence: Clinton Foundation is terrible and illegal!!! Pay no attention to what the Trump Foundation and the Russia dealings are about!

Pence f***ed up here, completely. He wanted to get into a d***-waving contest about charities, acting like Clinton's is "just as bad".

Tim Kaine is, as we speak, showing this comparison is Ron Jeremy vs. a micropenis. He's bringing up the New York AG sending the Trump Foundation a "cease and desist" letter. Moderator reminds Pence that this was supposed to be a question about North Korea.

[worstblogever]

Pence tried talking over the moderator to say that if we had Hillary's deleted e-mails we could see how bad the Clinton Foundation really is.

??? What new paranoid s*** was that?

[worstblogever]

In talking about his faith, Tim Kaine just effectively cut off the line of attack the GOP were leveling at him about the death penalty.

You could see Pence actually thinking, "F***. Can't go there now in the stretch."

Kaine only half answered that question, avoiding that he's personally pro-life when it comes to abortion.

And now Pence is punishing him for it. Should have been upfront.

[Jabare]

omg I don't care about your damn faith and religion. It should have no bearing in politics

[InformationGeek]

Pence: Kaine and Clinton are pro half-life abortion.

wha? What the hell is that? That a new buzz word?

[worstblogever]

Two religious men having a Christ-off now.

The thing is, Pence seems unable to understand how Kaine can have his faith and not govern based on it.

[Jabare]

and here we go with abortion

Kaine's got it in the rebuttal. Damage wasn't done.
