Who won the VP debate?

Kaine did a better job of attacking Trump than Pence did of attacking Clinton.

Pence was also frothing at the mouth when it came to abortion.  Pretty disturbing stuff.  Otherwise he maintained a very calm demeanor as he attempted to gaslight the American public.

I have to say I'm really annoyed climate change wasn't mentioned at all.

When Mike Pence doesn't believe in evolution, it's a given that he doesn't accept mainstream science.  I'm disappointed it wasn't discussed either, but on the bright side, Pence didn't get a platform to repeat and spread complete falsehoods about the subject into the political discourse.  Climate change is a losing issue for the Republicans and the fossil fuel industry.

Pence started off strong but in my mind really humiliated himself with not being able to defend Trump one. single. time. It was almost funny ~ If it weren't so scary.

IMO Kaine won the debate overall; pulling ahead in the second half strongly, just like Madame President!

I agree.  The fact that Mike Pence was unwilling and unable to defend his running mate over and over just proves that he is running for President in 2020.  He knows he will not be elected Vice President this year.

Pence without a doubt, despite the already starting spin zone. Focus groups and early reporting all show that Kaine basically shot himself with his over aggressiveness, and that's what is going to stick.

but people aren't voting for pence or kaine...this is trump v clinton. when confronted with every insult trump has made, pence either lied, stated it was inaccurate or failed to defend. how do you win a debate when you run as far away from the top of the ticket as possible?

Yes.  The biggest thing that's "going to stick" is that Pence had multiple opportunities to defend Donald Trump.  He didn't.

By his childish behavior, Kaine certainly displayed no substance whatsoever.

We must have different definitions.  By repeatedly lying and refusing to admit when he was wrong, Pence displayed immense childishness.  I think the most telling thing, however, was his inability to defend even more childish running mate Donald Trump.
