Related: About this forumTrump reportedly angry after being 'upstaged' by Mike Pence
http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Trump-reportedly-angry-Pence-VP-debate-9749320.phpNever one to lose the limelight, Donald Trump is reportedly none too pleased after Mike Pence's performance in the vice presidential debate Tuesday.
CNN and CNBC are among the outlets reporting that Trump was furious that Pence "upstaged" him. One senior advisor to the Republican presidential candidate told CNBC that "Pence won overall, but lost with Trump."
Pence notably avoided backing some of Trump's more outlandish claims and outright denied several of the things Trump has said in the past. At one point, Tim Kaine referenced Trump's admission that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is a "stronger" leader than President Obama....
"If Tuesday night's vice-presidential debate was about Mike Pence helping Donald Trump right the ship in the 2016 presidential race, it was an abject failure," wrote the Washington Post. "But if it was about making Mike Pence look good possibly for a future presidential run? it was a success."

it was a VP debate......of course Pence would be the focus! Poor Donald. Secondly, Pence is even more delusional than Drumpf if he thinks he's ever going to be president. He is a crazy teabagger fundy, and even the people of his own state despise him. His views on EVERYTHING are horrible, and the stench of Drumpf will NEVER come off of him!
