Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence won a landslide debate against Democratic rival Tim Kaine in Farmville, Virginia, on Tuesday night, according to a focus group convened by longtime pollster Frank Luntz.
Kaine interrupts too often.
The focus group wants the moderator to lay down the law and silence him until it’s his turn. #VPDDebate

Mike Pence’s attacks on Hillary Clinton’s foreign policy are enjoying much greater success than Tim Kaine’s interruptions. #VPDDebate photo: twitter.com/mfDZ7pgNSS

“Can we get a number higher than 100?”
My focus group was absolutely blown away by Mike Pence’s methodical response to economic growth. #VPDDebate photo:twitter.com/8nzBHOY4uT

Mike Pence wins because Tim Kaine can’t discuss like an adult without interrupting. #VPDDebate photo:twitter.com/qGEoStPhMt

Even if Mike Pence partially agrees with Tim Kaine’s answers, he still gets a better result. #VPDDebate photo:twitter.com/InVhKBTzxI

Even on preventing domestic terrorism, Mike Pence is winning over undecideds while Tim Kaine is causing the numbers to drop.#VPDDebate photo:twitter.com/ed7W0RYz12

This group of Ohio voters isn’t buying Tim Kaine’s “smart search” claims.
Or maybe they’ve just had enough of his antics today. #VPDDebate photo:twitter.com/LO9HRVB2TF

Of the group’s members, 24 believe Mike Pence won on national security, 2 said Tim Kaine.
It may be too tardy for Kaine to turn the situation around. #VPDDebate

My focus group literally laughs at Mike Pence’s attacks and laughs at Tim Kaine’s attacks.
