The VP debate was a little surprising because the polls showed a Pence win. I think this may be the contrast Pence provides to the Trump campaign. Pence is a 'typical' republican VP candidate when Trump is anything but 'typical'. Kaine did interrupt a little too much but he didn't do anything horrible. Kaine didn't have to win his goal was to because not totally screw up. The recent release of audio where Trump used sexually explicit language to describe an encounter with a woman (here is a story on it from CNN: http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/07/politics/donald-trump-women-vulgar/index.html ) will be brought up on Sunday. At the time of this posting Trump had recently released a video acknowledging the audio was true and apologizing for his actions. He also mentioned that Bill Clinton was involved in this kind of activity before. I think Trump may bring up Monica Lewinsky, and Gennifer Flowers in the debate. Still, when you are already behind you can't afford to have something like this come out. This debate will be crucial to Trump if he wants to be President. He needs to show he can be presidential. I found his response to be professional and he apologized for once. Still I think most American would find his comments offensive (but not everyone may agree with this). This next debate will definitely be interesting.
Note: Trump's response and apology was more calmer than I expected but I don't think I made it clear that he still used this statement to attack Bill Clinton for his affairs, and Hillary Clinton for allegedly denouncing and attacking Bill Clinton's alleged victims.
