Doesn't bend much from his rehearsed script. Can't speak fact nor defend off script.

Poor, poor lying Pence, not able to defend or play off his rehearsed script. The audience didn't see it and the instant polls didn't see it, BUT WE DID. Mike is blank faced liar.

Pence got in one of the best whacks of all "... and, you know, so his words don't always come out exactly the way he means them." [center]

but looking at how these fact checkers rate individual statements by each of the VP candidates, they treat Kaine's statements more harshly than Pence's. For instance, Kaine stated Trump said wages were too high and wanted to eliminate the minimum wage, which they only gave him credit for a half truth, for something completely true.

I wish these fact checkers were unbiased, but when comparing Democrats and republicans they always treat republicans more favorably. So, when I see Kaine was honest 79% of the time & Pence 69% dishonest of the time, you should know the separation is even greater than what they're willing to report.

... we have a situation where the most "truthful" candidate lies once every five or six times. It's kind of sobering that this is acceptable.
