Tim Kaine debated as the 2016 vice presidential candidate. Mike Pence debated as a 2020 presidential hopeful.

Kaine talks up the Clinton Foundation's good works, clean bill of health. Goes right for the "octopus like" Trump Foundation. #VPDebate

Tim Kaine did a good job memorizing & reciting Trump's most offensive comments of the campaign to date, & it's quite a list.

"Why don't you trust women? Why doesn't Donald Trump trust women?" has to be Kaine's clearest strongest line. Sounded heartfelt.

It's amusing watching Pence shake his head as Kaine literally recites things Trump has said.

Kaine had a plan for this debate and he has executed relentlessly with a smile and the Clinton Campaign is better off for it

“Why doesn’t he trust women?” Kaine is doing a great job of framing the abortion question as a personal freedom one. #vpdebate
