But at least Pence didn't look quite like the bum that Kaine did like so I think Pence won.

It was interesting to watch the moderator try and help Kaine out. As soon as Pence started to mention the email server, the moderator jumped right in to stop him and say it was time to move on.
Surprised?
The members of the committee that puts on the debates are all donors to the Hillary campaign. They pick the moderators and they choose the subjects that will be discussed.
If the republicans came up with a committee to develop and broadcast a debate, and that committee was made up of Trump donors, and they hand picked conservative moderators the liberals would be screaming. And the DNC would refuse to participate.
How about a debate without a studio audience, just the two candidates and a moderator that is unbiased? And the questions and subjects won't be revealed until the debate.
Better yet, let's have a debate and let Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Andrew Wilkow be the moderators. Talk about some entertaining television!

The moderator was pathetic. I yelled "shut the fuck up" way too many times for my blood pressure.

269-269 tie in EC
House deadlocks (neither can get 26 states) choosing POTUS
Senate selects Pease as VP
Pease becomes "Acting POTUS" on Jan 20 and stays that way until 2020

Best case scenario for November remains:
269-269 tie in EC
House deadlocks (neither can get 26 states) choosing POTUS
Senate selects Pease as VP
Pease becomes "Acting POTUS" on Jan 20 and stays that way until 2020

If there's a 269-269 split, the House, voting by states (i.e. Each state delegation gets a single vote) chooses between Hillary and Donnie, the winner must receive 26 votes. This is problematic in that states with an even number of members must cast a null ballot if they cannot reach a majority.
The Senate must choose between Pense and Kaine, no new candidates permitted. The Senate votes normally.

Nope, no other candidates allowed.

nitpick: you are presuming that only Pense, Kaine, the donald, and the corrupt doormat receive any votes.

That said, even if Johnson wins New Mexico or something, it doesn't make that much difference. Weld will not be eligible in the Senate. The House gets to pick from the Top 3 vote getters in the EC, but the Senate only gets to pick from the Top 2. So, unless Johnson/Weld come in second in the EC, Weld will be ineligible for Senate selection.

The way Kaine kept interrupting Pence right from the start was one of the rudest, nastiest excuses for "debating" I have ever had the mispleasure of seeing. That guy is a piece of shit.So, you've not watched the top of the Republican ticket, have you?
