when he criticized the aggressive approach that Kaine called out Pence for lying, and interrupting him while he was lying his butt off.
I can only assume he missed the last debate when Trump did the same thing, only on steroids. I do not like or admire Matthews and his comments immediately after the debate only reinforced my opinion.

He said Kaine didn't do well because he brought up too many things that the average voter is aware of, then later said that pence won because he set himself up for 2020 like the average voters are supposed to understand that reasoning?

While failing miserably on substance. This ad clarifies it, and brilliantly. Dismissing and denying outrageous remarks made
by Trump is coming back to bite them both.

This video shows what we saw too, lying Pence, not able to defend or play off his rehearsed script. The audience didn't see it and the instant polls didn't see it, BUT WE DID. Mike is blank faced liar.

some voters, no matter their age now, might have asked themselves last evening which of those two men they would have preferred to have as a father.

And why.

In that calculation could be a basis for their support for one or the other ticket.

he has a very tough streak underneath. I'd hate to tell him I dented the bumper on the family car, after a night out.

If they both are the same kind of parents as they are politicians, I'd go with Kaine. Pence is a miserable lying nazi failure of a pol.

that question. Pence is a control freak, one of the iron-fisted authoritarians Nixon used to hold so high.

Kaine also came to bat for his ticket while Pence lied when Kaine raised the GOP ticket's public statements and then attempted to smear Kaine for even speaking.

were in fact just complaints about Kaine bringing up dRumpfenfuhrer's insults, disguised as accusations that the Dems are always insulting the poor repug candidates and their followers. "You're insulting us by bringing up the insults we constantly hurl! RaHoWAhhhhhh!"

that they thought he'd lose them the governorship if he ran again.

They hate him and think he's a loser, so thought they'd foist him off on the rest of the country, and get to keep wrecking things in Indiana with another Daniels or Pence style repug.

there were some way that the film clips that refute what the repukes say are lies could be shown to them-- immediately after they deny they ever said xyz

Would they still keep denying it? Probably

But then, gross cognitive dissonance is a tough nut
