    I don't get the meme that Pence somehow refused to defend Trump. Pence defended Trump's tax returns, business prowess, and rhetorical style.

        It would've made no strategic sense whatsoever for Pence to get bogged down in litigating every Trump "gaffe." But he still "defended" Trump

        So defended his style, just refused to defend Trump's insane positions and rhetoric. You're becoming my fav Trump apologist.

        @Jayne720 also he said he would be glad to defend him if they came back to him. Guess what? They didn't! Shock!!!

        Note how many times Kaine repeated the "I can't believe" line. The "meme" is a talking point they prepared in advance, scripted.

        "he didn't say that" *roll the tape* is not a defense.

        If he had defended all the bogus attacks, he would have been called "defensive."

        Pence is the better candidate. Not defending Trump is just a spin talking point from Team Hillary.

        And his immigration plan. And his Syrian refugee ban. And his tax plan. Pence did great. People are just grasping at straws.

        Too true, @mtracey ! Pence said he'd "respond one at a time!" if needed, but bottom line: Kaine was distracting from the debate questions.

        They wanted Pence to defend and distract, instead Pence countered it with Hillary's many failures corruption
