Trump takes credit for Pence’s debate win
Pence and Kaine squared off in the first and only vice presidential debate Tuesday night and traded barbs over a number issues.
Trevor Noah likened Mike Pence distancing himself from Donald Trump’s comments to the recording artist Shaggy. “It was at Longwood University and I was humbled and honored to be there”.
“I’m sure he saw Pence and recognized the glowing accolades he got after and wants to have those same accolades”, Brown said in the interview. That truly meant the world to me, it really did.
“For me, voting early is a matter of convenience, and if I don’t do it I’m unlikely to vote at all”, said Joseph Wozniak, 23, of Macon, Georgia. But I’ll leave that to others.
With this impressive array of deceptions in his quiver, Pence bravely attempted and succeeded in doing the almost impossible – he defended Trump at Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate.
Finally, with the 2011 No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which he co-sponsored, Pence allowed hospital and medical care providers to deny women abortions altogether, even if they would die without the procedures. “All the while, all we do is fold our arms and say we’re not having talks anymore”. It’s much more effective to simply point out that “Trump said X”, he noted, than to point out that Mike Pence lied in claiming that Trump never said X, so why bother doing it? “It’s amusing to watch”.
Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine boasted in 2005 of the role he played in eliminating 5,000 government jobs in the state of Virginia. And while the discussion so far has been far more low-key than their top-of-the-ticket counterparts, it hasn’t been without some heated moments. It really is pretty incredible. We rounded up the five best jokes. When Trump waffled over endorsing House Speaker Paul Ryan in his August primary, Pence weighed in with a solid vote of confidence in his former congressional colleague.
The ad will air in the battleground states of Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio and Pennsylvania and on national cable.
“At the VP debate Mike Pence seemed to discover he was Donald Trump’s running mate”, the ad starts. “He’s getting tremendous reviews from me and everybody”. He raised eyebrows and caused a stir on social media when he said Kaine had “whipped out that Mexican thing again” by repeatedly raising Trump’s comments critical about Hispanic immigrants. “You know, you need judgment for people, for deals”.
And I’m sorry if you were offended is the very definition of that newish of political portmanteaus, the topology. But he likened Trump’s situation to those of other Americans who have gone “through a very hard time”. It’s about security. It’s about prosperity. Every time Kaine attacked, Pence parried and deftly shifted the conversation. For Donald Trump, it could be a final opportunity to demonstrate the race is not slipping out of his grasp as the balance appeared to tip in Mrs Clinton’s favour.
On Thursday, Pence said he and Trump “have been very, very clear about the issue of suspending immigration from countries that have been compromised by terrorism”. “Negotiator-in-chief isn’t in the Constitution-yet”. Trump hasn’t been seen with either of the party’s living presidents or in the same room as any of the Republicans who came closest to defeating him in this year’s GOP primaries. We’re going to get out of TPP and we’re going to hold our trading partners accountable to the promises that they made to the American people. But now that Trump’s “America First” white nationalism has proven to have a vast constituency in the party and in America, it may be too late to put Trumpism back in a bottle.
