| Chris Matthews: Pence Won Debate, Kaine Seemed ‘Desperate' at Times |
| 2016-10-05 |
| [Free Beacon] Liberal MSNBC host Chris Matthews said Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R.) was the winner of Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate with Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.), calling Kaine "desperate" regarding his repeated interruptions. "Overall, I think the winner tonight will end up being, in terms of the debate and what they were trying to accomplish, Pence, because Pence really was solid," Matthews said. "He looked like he had his head screwed on, and I think that’s going to look very important for [Donald] Trump, who doesn’t often look like he has his head screwed on. I think it was very important for him to look like a grown-up." Matthews said Pence made up for the mistakes made by his running mate Trump in the first debate with Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26, saying Pence’s "body language was excellent." "He had to defend Donald Trump, but he came across as a grown-up, strong," Matthews said. "I thought he was very effective at being a conservative." Matthews said Pence had made himself the frontrunner for the 2020 Republican nomination with his debate performance, saying he hit "all the bases" on conservative issues and even praising his eloquence on his pro-life position regarding abortion. |

| #15 Remind me who these three guys are again? I read the first para, but it's not ringing any bells. |

| #14 Well you know I won't become a Trump fan anytime soon but Pence indeed looks like a sane choice. Tim Kaine seems to have not attended manner school. |

| #12 Pence looks like a very decent Republican to me, not that I know much about him. |

| #10 Kaine is there because he will meekly take orders while Hillary slowly decomposes in office. |

| #9 But he is her right-hand little "person" prick although the person part is in question. |

| #8 "Kaine is such an obnoxious little prick that he made Joe Biden look like a gentleman...and Joe Biden is no gentleman." Sorry, I just wanted to read it in a larger, more distinctive font. |

| #7 Kaine is such an obnoxious little prick that he made Joe Biden look like a gentleman...and Joe Biden is no gentleman. Kaine would not let Pence complete a single sentence. That was his strategy. He and his mistress do not want people to hear what Pence had to say. It's what Democrats do. When they can't present a decent argument themselves they drown out, shout down the opposition. It's dishonest and undemocratic. It's Democrats. The only solution is to put both candidates in sound proof rooms where the moderator can switch off their microphones if they speak out of turn. But then, you'd have to trust the moderators who are employees of the MSM so the Republican candidate would never be heard at all. |

| #5 But that yappy SOB will be president when Hillary dies in office or is impeached. |

| #4 Kaine didn't do Hillary any favors. He came across as trying to dominate the conversation, acting like what he had to say was more important than what anyone else had to say, constantly interrupting, and distorting and lying. Sophomoric. Appeared to be a guy who gives con-artists and carjackers a bad name. |

| #3 ...which will be important as the Left's massive Hate Industry probably has Trump on a count down clock for breathing. Just saying. |

| #2 Tim Kaine is an example of Hillary's horrible decision making inability...is that the best she could do? His. Rowing achievement as gov of VA was to shut down the highway rest areas until the Rep state legislature approved a $1B tax increase...they stayed osed...and we considered Kaine an idiot which he still is. Pence was solid and demonstrated Trumps CEO cred for starting a good team. Trump may be crazy, but if he surrounds himself with folks like Pence we will be in good shape. |

| #1 pro-life position regarding abortion I believe it was H. R. Clinton who said, "Abortion should be save, available, and rare." Broken clock. |
