Joe Henderson: Tim Kaine, Mike Pence clash in downcard, ‘diluted’ debate

in 2017/Top Headlines by

About halfway through the vice presidential debate Tuesday, I wonder how many Republicans were secretly (or maybe not so secretly) wishing Indiana Gov. Mike Pence was at the top of their presidential ticket. On my scorecard, Pence was the clear winner over Democrat Tim Kaine — not on policy so much, as I doubt the debate changed many minds on the major issues that divide us all. But Pence was polished, poised, and focused most of the time and — dare…

Mitch Perry Report for 10.5.16 — Whipping out that thing. Again.

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Well, that was unpleasant. Before last night’s vice-presidential debate from Farmville, Virginia, the conventional wisdom amongst the pundit class was that Donald Trump would “sink” Mike Pence, as he’d have to contend with all of the many, many provocative comments made by the GOP nominee, both during this year-and-half-long campaign, but also going back decades. It didn’t exactly turn out that way, did it? True, Pence dealt with the recitation of some of Trump’s greatest hits as recounted by Tim Kaine by…

The Mitch Perry Report for 10.4.16 – And now for something completely different

in The Bay and the 'Burg/Top Headlines by

Since his selection to be Donald Trump’s running mate back in July, it’s been downright amusing at times to watch Mike Pence have to answer for his new boss while being asked about his latest outrageous comment. “Torturous” might be the best term to explain some of the responses he’s had to come up with to defend or deflect the latest comment by the GOP standard bearer. Sure, Katrina Pierson and Jeffrey Lord have lost their dignity at times on cable news, but Pence is the…

Tim Kaine, Mike Pence prepare for undercard debate

in 2017/Top Headlines by

With the first presidential debate complete and its spin cycle nearly over, the two understudies are getting ready to take the main stage. The vice presidential debate Tuesday will be the only time Republican Mike Pence and Democrat Tim Kaine will have the nation’s political attention all to themselves, away from their much more well-known running mates. The stakes will be lower than the three presidential debates, but will give each largely undefined candidate a chance to make a mark…

In Florida, Donald Trump faces a Hillary Clinton campaign behemoth

in 2017/Top Headlines by

For Donald Trump, the fight for Florida begins and ends with mass appeal: signature rallies and direct social media contact with voters who believe he can “make America great again.” Add some 30 Florida Trump employees to about 80 Republican Party field workers deployed around the state, and that pretty much covers the GOP nominee’s conventional ground game operation in the largest battleground state. Then there’s Hillary Clinton: 51 offices, with more on the way, and 500 employees combing Florida,…
