VP debate changed my mind

I almost did not watch the VP debate last night. Hillary Clinton is so much better than Donald Trump there is no contest about my vote.

I like Senator Tim Kaine so that was an added bonus. In fact, I think I might prefer that he was at the top of the ticket. I disagree with Governor Mike Pence but thought we was a much better choice than Donald Trump to be a the top of the ticket.

Now after seeing Gov Pence in the debate, I’m not so sure he would be a reasonable choice as either Present or VP. Several times during the debate he was asked about statements Mr. Trump had made. He mostly avoid the questions, choosing to focus on something else. It seemed a rational response when his other choice was to try to defend the indefensible. But on some occasions he just denied Trump had said something.

Most who have paid attention, or even some who have tried to avoid the political this year, have seen videos of Donald Trump making these statements. Apparently either Gov. Pence is badly misinformed or has a somewhat tenuous grip on reality. In either case he would not be a good choice for either office.

I went into this debate believing Governor Mike Pence was a decent choice but badly mistaken on some issues. Now I think he would be a poor choice for any office. The VP debate changed my mind.
