On Tuesday, Gov. Mike Pence and former Sen. Tim Kaine faced off in the only vice presidential debate of the campaign. Despite the clear bias of the CBS moderator and Kaine’s constant interruptions, it was clear that Pence won hands-down.
Is moderator trying to confirm media is in tank for Hillary? Sure looks like it. Pence is having to debate 2 people but doing it well!

At one point, Pence brought up Hillary’s illegal email server and was quickly shut down by the moderator.
There is no moderator at this debate until the moment Pence starts making points against HRC's homebrew server or slush fund.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
A Frank Luntz focus group even took Kaine to task for his constant interruptions.
Mike Pence's attacks on Hillary's foreign policy is scoring much better than Tim Kaine's interruptions. #VPDebate pic.twitter.com/mfDZ7pgNSS

Kaine is interrupting way too much.
The focus group wants the moderator to lay down the law and shut him up until it's his turn. #VPDebate

Mike Pence is winning because Tim Kaine cannot debate like an adult without interruptions. #VPDebate pic.twitter.com/qGEoStPhMt

Who won tonight's vice-presidential debate?
• 22 say Mike Pence
• 4 say Tim Kaine#VPDebate— Frank Luntz (@FrankLuntz) October 5, 2016
An article at the Washington Post called Kaine the loser, noting:
Someone must have told the Virginia senator he needed to always be on his front foot in the debate, always be the aggressor. It didn’t work. Kaine started the debate talking so quickly and trying to load so many Trump attacks into every answer that it made it virtually impossible to grasp any one attack. In the middle of the debate, Kaine seemed to relax into it — delivering an effective attack on Trump’s comments on women. But that Kaine was the exception, not the rule. When he wasn’t trying to stuff 10 pounds of attack in a five-pound bag in his answers, he was relentlessly interrupting Pence. Every single time Pence started to level an attack against Hillary Clinton, Kaine immediately began to talk over him. I’m not sure if that was on purpose or not, but it didn’t come across well — at all. One glaring example: As Pence was recounting his personal experience on Sept. 11, 2001, Kaine interrupted to say, “I was in Virginia.” Um, okay. Not a good look.
Even the hyper-partisan Chris Matthews declared Pence the winner: “I think the winner tonight will end up being — in terms of the debate and what they were trying to accomplish, Pence, because Pence was solid, he looked like he had his head screwed on.”
