I am sure that I am not alone in feeling that Mike Pence was the only adult on stage during the VP debate. As far as looking composed, mature and, in a word, presidential, Pence won that contest walking away.
And no he was not setting himself up for a 2020 run for POTUS as some would have it. Gov. Pence went out of his way to repeatedly champion Trump and mention how proud he was to be associated with him. Sorry liberal pundits, trying to isolate Pence from Trump just won't wash.
And Kaine's behavior--good golly Miss Molly! "Breitbart" noted his "High, High, HIGH Energy" and numerous folks took note of his "over-caffeinated" enthusiasm. Where is Howard Dean and his scurrilous accusations when you need him?
But enough about Kaine--may he prosper...elsewhere. The story here is Mike Pence's rock-solid unflappable demeanor, which came through loud and clear. Which did much, and will do much, to subdue concerns about Trump's temperament. After all, Mike Pence is waiting in the wings should the need arise--a voice of calm reason if ever there was one. You hit one out of the park for our team Mike--way to go.Support Canada Free Press
