Let's go with Pence for VP

I stayed up to watch the VP debate.   With both presidential candidates in, or near their seventies, and a world full of crazies, there is a distinct chance of the VP succeeding to the presidency.  So do either of these two guys, Republican Mike Pence, and Democrat Tim Kaine look like they could cut it as president?  Both of them are unknown to me.  Governors of states so far away from NH that I never heard a word about them before.  
   Of the two, Republican Mike Pence made a much better impression on me.  He seemed steadier, talked more of substance rather than just dishing up insults, which is all Democrat Tim Kaine did.  I feel the country would be in good hands with Mike Pence should something happen to Trump.  Not so much Tim Kaine,  Hillary won't be much good as president and Kaine will be worse. 
   Kaine spent the night repeating every distasteful thing Trump has ever said or whining about Trump's personal taxes.  Not very interesting, I have heard most of 'em, from Trump on live TV, or on instant replay with the morning TV pundits.   Pence talked about his successes as governor, they sounded pretty good, lowered taxes, lowered unemployment, created a $2 billion surplus in the state government.  Pence also talked about Republican plans to revive the national economy.\
   The moderator, a lady from somewhere in the MSM, I don't know her, used each question to pet the democrats and slam the republicans.  And the questions were light weight, just invitations for another flood of politician talk, feel good, commit to nothing speech or the kind that Obama is so good at.
