Steve, I honestly don’t even know where to begin with this, and others have already answered, and far better than I can as of right now.
I’ll just say…going after Kaine for his vociferousness (and calling it “scripted”) while letting Pence off the hook for his obviously practiced and pervasive lying (You don’t think he had an agenda? Like the nomination in 4 years maybe?) and denying things that millions have heard and that’s easily found on video…if that isn’t deeply troubling to you (and hugely insulting as well, it’s all but calling their supporters too stupid to remember what most of them heard) then we must inhabit different universes. even if a person is lying, well, that may not actually go against them Wow. Good luck with this one. Sal On Oct 6, 2016, at 7:04 AM, steve.sun...@yahoo.com [FairfieldLife] <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: I did not watch the debate. I watched only a small "hi-light" reel afterwards. But the impression I got was the the Clinton campaign instructed Kaine to "go after Trump. rip him to shreds" which he attempted to do, but didn't come off particularly well doing so. I felt, that if they had just let Kaine "be himself", things would have turned out better. We all know the debates run on emotion and appearances, so that even if a person is lying, well, that may not actually go against them, in the debate at least, and maybe not even after. But, maybe this idea of "being yourself" is just too naive an idea. On the other hand, it often is what works in situations rather than going with "formula" Any thought? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com <mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com>, <salsunshineiniowa@...> wrote : Remember the nickname they gave Bush, the Smirking Chmip? Pence could easily be the Smirking Sociopath, he lies with such effortlessness and oiliness. Even against video evidence, it's like he's some alternate universe or something.
