Presidential race 2016

Tim Kaine interrupted a lot --

Seems to be a general strategy for Democratic VP nominees.
Biden did the same thing to Ryan in 2012. Unlike Pence, Ryan let it fluster him.

I think it's sometimes a strategy for political candidates from any party, depending on their outcome goals.

I've seen a few interviews with Mike Pence over the last couple of days. He seems smart and well-spoken; the complete opposite of Trump in style and, in many cases, in views. I think Pence was a very good VP choice by the Trump team in terms of lending some legitimacy to Trump. Pence is an established conservative Republican, which is what most Trump supporters say they don't want, but which the Republican establishment desperately wants.

I don't know if Kaine was a great VP choice for Clinton or not. He's a little awkward, but he strikes me as sincere and passionate when it comes to policy and serving his candidate. Pence doesn't strike me as either. He seems programmed and insincere in his statements supporting Donald Trump's views and statements, often instead denying them and revising them entirely.

Pence's stances on gay rights, refugee assistance, and women's rights to choose are so very far right. Personally, I'd take Paul Ryan or Tim Kaine over Mike Pence any day and twice on Sundays.
