“The question is whether Pence will be well-prepared enough to pivot the discussion back to policy, economics, and the frustration of the everyman,” Ajjan said. If he succeeds in distilling the nuggets of clarity from Trump’s debate performance and explain them in his rational and calm way, he can come out the winner. But Kaine is no slouch and, in either case, the two presidential candidates are so larger-than-life that it’s hard to see this as a make-or-break moment for anyone."
