    Whats odds on Trump going on an offensive social media rant during this debate so he can get all the headlines the next day and lose another debate?

    I keep reading that Trump will only do the next debate if Hillary isn't there. True or satire, it's hilarious.

    Where do you guys keep coming up with this Libertarian thing? Because I'm not a Democrat or Republican I'm a Libertarian now? If I were I'd vote for Johnson, but I'm not voting.

    Maybe it's because of that Rand Paul avatar

    I think Pence and Trump should switch places if GOP wants to win.

    Some Guy debating Pence came off as snarky. It's like they have had that Guy in a room feeding him bullet points for the last several months. I wonder who that Guy was?

    I thought they both did well. Kaine is getting criticized for interrupting but holy shit....Pence just fucking lied the entire night. He kept denying that Trump said things that Kaine was directly quoting. He denied saying that Putin was a stronger leader than Obama, etc.

    What we should take away from this is that Pence refused to defend Trump...instead he just created a fantasy world where Trump didn't say all those things. The ads generated from that debate are going to be epic.

    Why do you feel it necessary to type "Godfather." after each post? Especially the posts that have nothing to do with anything.

    just because.....does it bother you ? or you looking for another means to attack me personally ? if you are that uncomfortable with the party affiliation you've chosen or the life you've chosen then please by all means allow me to be your venting sound board I'm not easily offended or emotionally hurt, just one of those things I've mastered over the years so bring it on Brother I'm here for you.

    No I was just curious. Kind of an odd thing to do when we all obviously know who is posting.

    I mean....no one else does that. Do you think it's required or something? Like if you don't do it we won't know who the post is from?

    I thought Kaine was pretty terrible. The corny rehearsed lines didn't do it for me and every time I flicked back to it it was some sort of pissing match over something Trump said. Was hoping for more of a policy debate out of those two.

    Pence is just better at hiding the crazy. That guy is Ted Cruz nuts.

    Yeah it was unimpressive. Was baffled by the choice of Tim Kaine when she made it and was no less baffled last night. Thought Pence in a vacuum came across better but the guy lied through his teeth repeatedly about things Trump has said, done, or proposed. Was glad when it was over.

    Godfather, every attack aimed in your direction I've seen on here has been a direct result of ignorant, illogical, false, unfounded, hyperbolic, xenophobic and/or racist remarks. Since you can suffer these attacks and deflect, laugh, re-offend, or ignore, it makes perfect sense that Trump would be seen by you not only ideal as a Presidential candidate, but an overall great role model. Without an ounce of decorum, your voice won't be treated as having an ounce of validity.

    Kaine did his job. He was supposed to make it obvious that Pence couldn't/wouldn't defend the bullshit that Trump has said.

    Mission accomplished.

    I hear you. I don't think anyone was swayed one way or another because of last night, I was just disappointed.

    I don't know. Kaine came across as obsessed with Trump and unable to stick to what should be a more reasonable and respected policy position. Pence is definitely more polished. I don't like Pence or his religious/political stances, but he seemed more stable than Kaine. Kaine comes across as some sort of goofy hillbilly. I'm sure the debate won't be instrumental in a real swing one direction or the other so no harm done, but I don't want either of these guys to be running the country.
