That won't eliminate all the political damage Trump has done with his nonstop insults and mockery, but it demonstrated to other Trump supporters how to defend their candidate without doubling down on his abrasive style. Kaine then outlined Clinton’s economic plan. But the debate will almost certainly have no meaningful or lasting effect on this particular election. They just didn't sound very much like those of his current boss, Donald Trump. And over the next week, the Trump campaign will surely be asked to reconcile the differences in policy positions articulated by Pence and Trump on areas such as U.S. policy toward Russia and Syria. “That’s the order you should do it,” Pence said. She could well have been articulating the thoughts of millions of American viewers, who might be excused for thinking that Pence did not know his running mate was actually Donald Trump. Governor Mike Pence did not change the underlying dynamics of the campaign Tuesday night, but he did provide a significant service to Donald Trump: he gave fresh heart to Trump supporters and may have stopped the downward spiral of their campaign. The overwhelming feeling one was left with after the first and only televised "Second Chair Debate" was pointlessness verging on nihilism. “First and foremost, senator, and Hillary Clinton would know a lot about an insult driven campaign. He believes in her. When his challenger, Governor Tim Kaine, quoted Trump's own highly offensive words, Pence repeatedly shook his head as if saying no, and laughed, appearing to deny the quotes that were almost all quite accurate. Actually, Mike Pence, Trump really DID say that, The contentious vice presidential debate in 90 seconds, The highs and lows of the vice presidential debate, Pence: You whipped out that Mexican thing again, Pence: We'd never punish women for getting an abortion, A full minute of Kaine and Pence talking over each other, Mike Pence: Putin a 'small and bullying leader', Kaine on 'deplorables:' Clinton apologized, Pence: 'Did you work on that one a long time? The challenge for the Republicans though is that Trump is still at the top of the ticket, with all the negatives he has brought to the party. Mr. Kaine was the more combative of the two, often jumping in and interrupting Mr. Pence mid-sentence. Pence will not fare well with fact checkers, but his poise and polish played well with voters. . Mike Pence, as others have remarked, was another story. “It all begins with cherishing the dignity, the worth, the value of all human life,” Pence said. "If Donald Trump had said all the things you said he said in the way he's said them," he said, it would still not compare to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables.". The sparkle in his eye as he landed his jabs contrasted nicely with Pence's monotone delivery and occasional flashes of annoyance. To make his burden easier, Pence made as few references as possible to Trump, dancing around criticisms about his running mate's tax returns, insults to a former Miss Universe and the constitutionality of his "extreme vetting" plans. But who could hear any of that through the cacophony of hyperactive, ballistic outbursts and interruptions that marked most of the conversation? Tuesday night, the two VP candidates had an opportunity to be the chief spokespersons for their leaders while simultaneously assisting the American public in getting to know them better. Mike Pence went into Tuesday's vice presidential debate burdened with saving the Trump campaign after one of its worst weeks. Who won the US vice presidential debate? Sen. Tim Kaine repeatedly cited Trump's most egregious comments, but all Pence did was deny Trump ever said any such thing. For much of the campaign, Governor Mike Pence has been treated by his authoritarian running mate, Donald Trump, as a kind of afterthought. Kaine was at his best when he listed many of Trump's controversial statements and then challenged Pence multiple times to defend them, which he didn't for the most part. He emerged as the calmer, smoother counterpart to the erratic performance by Donald Trump during last week's debate. Most of us have known Hillary Clinton's running mate as Uncle Tim with the jokes, and Mike Pence as the tortured soul trying to add respectability to Trump's maverick campaign. Pence asked, as though he'd never heard anything so ludicrous. But he failed to defend Trump's policies. Donald Trump has already bent the electoral process, the media and the boundaries of basic civility to his whims. Kaine drove these points so repeatedly and strongly that at one point Pence sighed with irritation and said, "You've whipped out that Mexican thing again." Instead, for reasons only the late Miss Cleo might know, he was the one who was totally out of control.
