printEveryone is agreed. VP candidate Mike Pence won the debate at Longwood University on October 4, 2016 in Farmville, Virginia. But what exactly is the GOP base celebrating about this somewhat pyrrhic victory over the very silly Tim Kaine? Since his victory, Pence has been mouthing non-stop about foreign policy positions in opposition to those of Donald Trump. America will take her lead in the world again, Pence keeps on repeating. We need to be in Syria, in Russia’s face, blah, blah. As I predicted, not a word about the theme of the Trump campaign: America First!
So what’s the GOP base celebrating? A victory for the team? Or a blow to the ideas that got Trump the nomination?

In advance, I predicted 'Pence 'would be unfaithful to #Trump'; @davidfrum calls it Trump-denial. https://t.co/g7x534ItB9
