Poll: Who won the VP debate?

[ufcasey]

Now that this is over...

[cbwm1]

Ugh. Neither. It was a dumpster fire.

[bimbi284]

Yeah we need a neither option.
ETA: I see it's been added

[turnipthebeet]

I can't bring myself to vote either. A draw, maybe?

The nicest thing I can say is that Pence did not win. But Kaine may have lost because of his interruption.

[pixy0stix]

Putin.

I added more options. Both and Neither.

I think the issue of abortion is major and especially to the younger generation so that's the tie breaker for me.

Agreed.   I'm glad that was the last topic.  hopefully it will stick, especially the "why don't you trust women" line.

Pence wins on smug evasion of all questions, Kaine wins on issues/everything else.

[josieposy]

Eyebrows.

[robyn]

Neither. Pence sucks, but I already knew that. I'm a bit sad that Kaine was so easily baited to go down to Pence's level. Plus the interruption and the fact that he kept harping on the taxes when there are so many other things to go at him for. The whole thing was kind of a train wreck.

^ This gets my vote.

[EllieArroway]

Pence did a good job of hiding his crazy but couldn't defend Trump.

Kaine got in some good jabs but interrupted too much.

[earlgreyhot]

Kaine wins on, like, you know, truth and facts and stuff.

Pence won on delivery. He was smug and lied, but he carried himself like he was above it all.

Soooooo....no one.

You just can't unsee them. Or see them, depending on who we're talking about.

[turnipthebeet]

When I was browsing the Donald subreddit earlier, it was clear that one of their biggest pushes is to flood the polls after debates to show Trump/Pence winning.

[froggyfarts2point0]

I'm waffling. Kaine started weak in my opinion, but he landed a lot of punches to Trump and Pence. I think Kaine did an alright job at policy. I'm also heavily in love with his response on religion and politics.

I feel like Pence did a better job overall at being cordial and staying on policy, but he also did a terrible job at defending Trump. He was miserable at landing effective punches to Hillary's campaign in my opinion, but I don't jump at the Benghazi/emails thing so those were unimpressive to me. I think the closest he came to a good punch was the basket.

I think the moderator did amazing compared to Lester though. She just powered on when both of them were getting out of hand and was able to redirect them quite a few times, in rather a faster way than Trump/Clinton were able to be corralled.

On policy- Kaine
On delivery Pence

Kaine interrupted too much and did not stay on topic. He should've been better.

[curbsideprophet]

I have to give a slight edge to Kaine. He had some sound answers.

Pence could not defend anything. Some of the things he sounded reasonable on do not line up with things Trump has said.

[fuckyourcouch]

Mole people.

[josieposy]

Does Pence ever smile? I know that smiling has been a concern for some folks.

This. But I am afraid that manner and not substance will carry the day, and Pence will be declared the winner.

[ufcasey]

ITK scored points on the trusting women thing at the end, hands down.
Pence won most of the 'don't interrupt and stay calm' points.

For me personally, I of course still agree with ITK on the policies he represents. But I don't think he won. It's 'neither' at best, Pence won at worst. But I can't stand that smarmy asshole, so I had to go with neither. But I won't argue with the nationwide poll results if they say Pence won. Because seriously, stop with the interrupting. I'm glad Clinton is running and not ITK. I'm also kind of glad Trump is running and not Pence because it might be a closer election at this point otherwise. And I just threw up a little typing that.

[turnipthebeet]

Cnn showing of hands among some undecided voters, Tim Kaine as the winner got way, way more hands. I was surprised.

[funchicken]

I think Pence's dismissal of Mexicans at the end was bad and going all in on repealing Roe v Wade and controlling women's bodies certainly did not play well with me. I think his delivery was smoother, but he lied about everything, so...

[MrsPenny]

It was awful. My fb is full of people talking about how respectful and classy our governor is and it really makes me sad to live in Indiana.
