Class!~Thurs. Aug. 25, 2016 on CBS / Stephen Colbert, interview guest and Hillary Clinton VP running-mate Senator Tim Kaine was asked about Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's then recent accusation that “Hillary Clinton's a bigot.” Senator Kaine replied:
“When Hillary Clinton got out of law school she was workin' to help advance racial justice in the juvenile justice system in South Carolina, and fight school segregation in Alabama. And I about that time got out of school and was battling housing discrimination in the South, & in Virginia.
At his early career Donald Trump was a real estate guy who got sued by the Justice Department for discriminating against people in housing, writing the letter “C” on applications if they were minority. Umm, he ... Hillary Clinton's got a track-record all the way back to being a middle-schooler in a Methodist youth group of trying to advance priorities for others. And Donald Trump's for himself.” [& has said so explicitly]

Pence is indeed formidable, but only with respect to demeanor. His record on civil rights is going to bite him in the butt. He's going to have to defend some horrid legislation that he signed.Tuesday October four, 9M/ET on ABC Kaine debates Pence. I'm looking forward to it. They seem like two formidable players.
I kinda liked seeing Biden hand Eddie Munster his ass.And that's what amps up the intrigue.
There are so many parameters upon which to base judgement.
And a hundred million judges (aka "registered voters") each with their own individual preferences and priorities.
I anticipate a spirited, well honed debate between two professionals.
I don't mean to over-sell it. But it may be the best debate I've seen in the new millennium.
I was talking about Paul Ryan.....You know....Eddie Munster.Of the two, I think she's the cute one.

Biden was a guest on Fallon's show this week, and was warmly received. The New York audience doesn't seem to like the Trump / Pence prospect.

I enjoyed Maher's ABC show Politically Incorrect. I don't get cable, so I've lost track of him.
BUT !!
Candidly, Maher is hardly an objective arbiter. By relevant criteria Trump probably did lose. Hillary is obviously the better prepared debater.
And to my knowledge, Trump's complaint about the microphone is substantially a groundless quibble.
None the less, the harsh wording in the thread title seems gratuitous to me.
Maher should be enough of a pro to smack Trump down without potty-mouth.
