Politico Insiders reputation remains unsullied after VP debate politi.co/2dpekj1

It’s not as if “basket of deplorables” is the nastiest thing ever said. “Irredeemable” is the key insult.

I didn’t hear any horrible mistakes/brilliant attacks on either side. Trump gets points 4 picking Pence (even if he had 2d thoughts @ time)

Quijano, not Quinones. Apologies. twitter.com/kausmickey/sta…

1) Good debate 2) Pence held his own 3) Cue “Pence shows DT how to do it” pieces 4) Cue “wrong people at top of ticket” pieces

Quinones asks toughest question asked of Dem ticket so far (“What went wrong with Russian reset?”). #questionslesterholtwouldneverask

Hillary lodged protests against Russia! Kaine quickly realizes how weak that sounds.

Pence following same R2P logic in Syria that led to Libyan intervention, no?

Do voters want to “lean in” to Syria?

Kaine seemed about to say “no controlling legal authority”

Halfway point: Kaine seems effectively vice presidential. Pence seems presidential. Not entirely sure that helps Trump.

Pence misses his big opportunity to slide back into “touchback amnesty.”

Not a lot of support for Social Security privatization on either side tonight. Don’t expect it to stop the Paul Ryans …

Might as well not be a moderator. Better than a Crowley.

Pence’s make-up very strange. Looks slightly ghoulish.

Kaine’s 1st answer kanned.
