Vice Presidential Debate

Who would have thought that all the world's problems hinge on and would be solved if Donald Trump would just release his taxes!
Yeah, it seems no one wants to mind his own business any more. What do Trump's taxes have to do with his ability to be a President? To most folks it would probably make as much sense as a grocery list written in Hieroglyphics!
The groundwork was laid when Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC fixed the Democrat Primaries.
Nope. Trump won't even be sworn in(at?) by xmas. Make it easter.
And to think I went to work last night instead of watching the nonevent of the year.
Meaning he didn't say what you wanted to hear. NOT the same thing.
Like I said during the presidential debate: the winner of the debate is determined by the polls afterward. Not polls of people saying who won the debate, but polls measuring how people are going to vote. I doubt many people are going to change their opinions based on the veep debate and within the next week non-VP related developments could influence polls more. It could be difficult to determine whether the VP debate actually had an impact.
But if you really want to fight out who "won", you could always look at the reactions of the candidates, their media surrogates and the media itself. You generally can't trust any of them, because they'll declare victory even before the debate. So if Republicans or the Republican media say Pence won, you can't put much stock in that, but I've seen Democrats and left-leaning media declare it a tie, which means they lost.

I thought Pense was cool and deliberate in the debate, Kane antsy, over caffeinated and erratic.
It was a clear victory for Pense, although i wasn't really that impressed with his mannerisms which were obviously intended to evoke Ronald Reagan (i was never an admirer). But Pense himself is a very conventional Republican, put in place to shore up the base.
I thought his best and most authentic moments were his defense of Life and Faith... over Kane's rejection of his own Catholic Faith as any guide to public responsibility.. in preference of the moral relativism, radical individualism and the Culture of Death that has inundated America in a flood of despair.
In any case no one votes for the VP. Trump will have to win this on his own merits, and he is far from conventional in any contemporary stereotype.

So, Pense must be against capital punishment, because he explicitly talked about his belief in the sanctity of life above all else, and therefore I assume he will work to eliminate capital punishment in the US.
Yabut u dum cuz u says Trump.
Anyway
Republican Mike Pence narrowly wins VP debate in poll, but upside appears limited - Politics - CBC News
The small scale of Pence's win is similar to Paul Ryan's four-point edge over Joe Biden in 2012's vice-presidential debate — a debate victory that did not translate into an election victory for Ryan's running mate. On the other hand, the wide margins of victory recorded in CNN's polling for the 1992, 1996 and 2008 vice-presidential debates were put up by winning tickets (Al Gore in 1992 and 1996 and Biden in 2008).
It was Kane who said, that as Governor of Virginia.. he'd signed death warrants, despite being opposed to Capital Punishment. Pense has never signed a death warrant as Governor of Indiana, and none are scheduled. Who's the hypocrite.
You never see conservative talk of "sanctity of life" manifest itself in anything other than limiting women's reproductive rights. They don't care about life. They only want to control female sexuality.
Is your stance that an elected official should follow his religious beliefs even to the point of ignoring the law?
