The main stream media is trying to portray the Vice Presidential debate as boring and meaningless. Translation, they don\u2019t want you to watch. \u00a0In most years, they would be right. But, this is not most years. Up until now this campaign has been a mess with both candidates spending most of their time throwing mud at each other. Both have no problem finding ammunition. The MSM would have one believe that Trump being rude and insulting is just as important as Hillary being extremely careless with classified information. If Mike Pence can turn this into an adult conversation instead of a shouting match it could be devastating for Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

Tim Kaine has been challenged with forcing Pence to \u201cdefend the indefensible<\/strong><\/strong>.\u201d The Clinton campaign is counting on making this all about Donald Trump. The MSM has its Fact Checking teams ready for action. But there is a problem. Mike Pence is not Donald Trump. He is not nearly as likely to rise to the bait and get distracted.\u00a0\u00a0 If Pence delivers a strong, adult indictment of Hillary Clinton it could be devastating. He just may be the best person to deliver that message. He is an experienced attorney. He is also an effective Talk Show host. He was a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and the Judiciary Committee in the House and he was Republican Conference Chairman, the third-highest ranking Republican in the House. This is a serious, polished politician with a ton of credibility.<\/p>\n

The MSM is already trying to discredit Pence, but that may be easier said than done. The New York Times has already tried to claim Pence is a liar:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/10\/04\/opinion\/campaign-stops\/will-mike-pence-tell-the-truth.html<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

He\u2019s <\/strong>called<\/strong><\/u><\/a> Trump\u2019s back-and-forth immigration positions \u201ccompletely consistent.\u201d He <\/strong>claimed<\/strong><\/u><\/a> that raising income taxes reduced federal revenue. He <\/strong>said<\/strong><\/u><\/a> that President Obama\u2019s health law would \u201cdeprive roughly 120 million Americans of their current health care coverage.\u201d And Pence <\/strong>lied<\/strong><\/u><\/a> about Hillary Clinton\u2019s actions during the Benghazi attacks<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

One will note that none of these are actual lies; they are just opinions with which the New York Times disagrees. But one will also note that the same article admits that Pence is a skilled politician:<\/p>\n

Mike Pence, the Republican governor of Indiana, is <\/strong>a likable, often sunny conservative<\/strong><\/u><\/a>, according to those who know him. He is the kind of politician who could make the real conservative arguments I wish we heard more often.<\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It is impossible to predict anything, but if Pence gets this right and people start to take a serious look at Benghazi, the Clinton Foundation and the E-mail scandal, it may just rock Hillary\u2019s world. It will be very interesting to see how this race looks Past Pence.<\/p>\n
