    Don hasn't so much as paid a dime to feed a Soldier overseas. He's never paid for a wrench, let alone Concussion Helmets, not one highway did he ever pay for, not one penny has he given the Fed. Govt, (say wtf- no Bonds??, that's un-American); not one thing has he ever paid for. A thief leech who's fed on the blood of others his entire life.

    ...he also scored no points with Vets by saying that in reference to military suicides and PTSD that some Vets "just can't handle it".

    ...his people predictably claimed that he was "taken out of context"...but regardless, when you get right down to it, a world leader like the POTUS must be able to choose his words wisely...and Trump simply cannot...he just can't help himself.

    ...^^^

    If he won:
    Chump is going to have to depend on Totus for every comment he ever makes. Lack of self restraint is never a good attribute.

    World Leaders will never take a guy like Chump serious; he's far from Ambassador material, and clearly does not reflect the will of the American People, but neither does the other ass (who's party is represented by an Ass literally).

    The U.N. will laugh Chump out of the room, instead of a standing Ovation he thinks he deserves. At least 1/3rd of Congress will be abstinent; during a Chump Prez SOTU Address.

    When the bully doesn't get his way; throws a temper tantrum, gets pissed off due to little respect from World Leaders, how safe are those nuke codes....?

    ...^^^ Incredible article, geezus, there's at least 20 things Chump is 'the very best at', so many things in fact, he can dissolve the WH- Cabinet in its entirety. Then, start in on replacing Congress, since he's the best at every thing. Last stop, the final march to Mein Kampf's completion ... Or- in Brits eye's- Donald Does Narnia...and plays every character/part...

    ...wait, he "killed" Kaine?...according to who?.......and he "reset the race"?...again, according to who.

    ...the polls I've seen gave Pence a slight edge. Pence may have given people who were already Trump supporters a brief lift of spirits after experiencing a sinking feeling over the last week or two, but that's it...sorry, but this VP debate is not enough to turn the tide of the POTUS campaign.

    ...hell, Pence wouldn't even back Trump when given opportunities...seems to me that Pence is more interested in setting himself up for 2020.

    Kaine made the debate unwatchable with the ridiculous interrupting. He actually managed to make Trump look tame in that regard. From the counts that are out this morning he interrupted Pence 70 times during the debate.

    ...Pence was by no means innocent as far as interruptions either but that's pretty much hows debates go...and both candidates were not completely accurate in their statements...(fact checker)

    ...bottom line, the VP debate and its candidates won't have much of an effect, if any, on the POTUS election.


    ...don't get me wrong, I like Pence and if the truth be known I'd much prefer Pence over Trump, and IMO, the GOP would have a much better chance if their ticket were flip flopped.

    Pence would've been the better GOP candidate. Hillary is so awful a more seasoned less damaged candidate would be cleaning her clock right now.

    ^^^yup...if Pence were running for POTUS he'd probably be leading Hillary by double digits right now.

    ...the Independents are siphoning about 10% of the vote that would possibly go to the GOP instead.

    ...Pence smartly did not defend Trump, mainly because Trump is indefensible ... and because as I said earlier, I think Pence may be setting himself up for 2020. If he defends Trump and Trump loses this election, Pence is toast politically.

    But the point Ron is that Trump doesn't need defending. Trumpkins get him and accept him as is. Independents have a C vs T choice, both are indefensible. Anyone who defends either is exposed as a fraud.

    Pence does have a chance in hell with the GOP past this year. 2020 is gonna get teed up for Rubio.

    ...Trump doesn't need defending?...please. Kaine defended Hillary who obviously needed defending, and so does Trump. But Pence tap danced and avoided it at every opportunity he had during the debate.
    ...and sorry, but the point is that Trump needs more of those "Trumpkins" if he wants to win, because what little momentum he had gained recently has now evaporated again because of his recent issues that needed "defending".

    ...as far as Pence/Rubio in 2020, well, opinions vary.
