Shortly after the conclusion of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate, there were some reports that Donald Trump wasn’t happy that Mike Pence didn’t leap to Trump’s defense more, and that he upstaged Trump with a better debate performance. And if that made The Donald mad, just imagine his reaction to Wednesday morning’s headlines … here are just a few:
The general consensus is that Pence edged out Tim Kaine on style points during the debate, so you can expect Republican surrogates to be out in force crowing that Pence “won.” But the bottom line is, on Tuesday night, Donald Trump lost another debate. Because the takeaway won't be that Kaine interrupted Pence, or that Pence didn’t come off as the right-wing zealot that he is, it will be that Pence was utterly unable—or unwilling—to defend Donald Trump, except to lie and deny Trump’s own words. Roll the tape. That’s what’s going to stick.
