I can't watch it any more - VP debate

I'm sorry, but I was yelling at the TV for Pence to just shut up. I find that guy even more annoying than Trump, if such a thing is possible. His constant whining and interruptions are insufferable. Was his strategy to take up maximum time talking to keep Kaine from talking. His constant interruptions were highly rude and interrupting. So I turned it off. I feel much better now. How did you folks manage watching it?

Pence is doing the "ball control" offense and taking advantage of the weakness of the moderation and trying to milk the clock.

Best points Kaine has made all night are complimenting Hillary.

It is pretty terrible though. Kaine has much better facts and has rebutted Pence very well. Kaine did a great job hitting on all of trump's failures and foibles. Pence is smarmy and smug, but I think he is appearing better than anyone expected. It is hard to focus on exactly what he is saying because he has a very smooth style. He just runs on and on and on.

I usually don't watch the pundits, but this time I might pay attention to the condensed versions afterwards. I need this verbosity to be boiled down.

at least for a while. That Pence is really a rude fellow. Shaking his head and saying it isn't so, whenever trump's insults are mentioned. Glad I turned it off. I ldearn more DUer comments anyway.
