2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumRunning Out the Clock
The concensus seems to be a tie or a slight kaine win. A few are saying a slight Pence win. How fun and delightful. The problem of course for Trump is that this is one of 3 major events left until election day and breaking even is more time wasted. Clinton and Kaine are rapidly getting to the take a knee and run down the clock phase of the campaign. Trump and Pence are down by a touchdown and a fieldgoal with 3 minutes left and just had to punt again. Sure they didnt fumble that lead to a dem touchdown tonight, like last week, but simply not fucking up horribly isnt going to get them a win.
People arent going to vote republican this year because a wooden block name Mike Pence tied in a VP debate or lost slightly. Time is very short and doing no damage or a minimal amount of damage to a structure that is a raging inferno isnt really something to be happy about.

(45,026 posts)Sure Pence score big style points (especially when you consider his mess of a running mate).
But Pence also advocated starting a war with Russia, imprisoning women who seek abortions,
proclaiming black lives really don't matter and of course, building a ridiculous wall on the southern border.

Pence had the impossible task of polishing and perfuming the stinking ripe turd that is TrumpleThinSkin.

Then again he also lied his ass off and threw trump under the bus, so it wasnt exactly a stellar performance for his ticket.
