That kt would attribute truth-telling to a Minion of The CHILL is laughably delusional.
Sounds to me like Pence "won" by focusing on substance, while Kaine LOST by being a parrot's anus. The big goal for a VP candidate in a debate is to do no harm: Pence succeeded; Kaine did damage to The CHILL (perhaps he was doing/saying exactly what he was told to do/say).
