VP's debate: Both running mates added to Clinton's.

Mike separates himself from Trump and made a point to be a viable candidate for the future. Tim rebuked on a long list of Trump's mistakes. In the aftermath, both performances benefited Clinton's position.

I didn't get a chance to watch it. Did it meet expectations? If so, what were the expectations?

This debate was much more tame than the presidential one last week. I think Kaine's performance was on par with Clinton, but Pence did much better than Trump. His pollish helped and he spent much less time being defensive.

Of course, the idea of who wins is subjective.

I've come to view humanity as predominantly monkey business.

Pence did much better than Trump.


Naturally, he used to be a right-wing AM radio talk show host. He felt comfortable ignoring questions and talking staying off-topic.

Trump is a TV entertainer who has no experience facing challenges.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Public speaking experience comes handy at times.
