Who won the Vice Presidential debate?

This article does a pretty good job of sharing my opinions about the VP debate. Kaine was just annoying. Whenever Pence would present a valid point about Clinton's past indiscretions, Kaine would start talking over him so we couldn't hear the point. It was similar to the tactic used by Joe Biden in the last VP debate, except Joe just laughed to cover Paul Ryan's talking points.

When Joe Lieberman and Dick Cheney debated in 2000, the viewers were left with the feeling that these two should be the candidates instead of Bush and Gore. That didn't exactly happen last night, viewers were probably left with the feeling that Pence should be the nominee instead of Trump. On the other hand, Kaine came across as a jerk. He's probably not like that in real life, and it was just a strategy, but I wanted to hear what people had to say.

The moderator, Elaine Quijano, was someone nobody knew before the debate. She edits CBS' Internet news, but she didn't do a very good job. She failed to control the discourse and exhibited her bias, for example, saying "right" after one of Kaine's points.
