October 5, 2016 MORE POLITICS > Feud in Farmville 6 Moments That Mattered Last Night Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump weren't the focus of last night's debate but their policies and campaign promises were at the center of the face-off. The vice presidential contenders -- Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence -- were the stars of the evening as they made their cases for their respective running mates. ABC's SHUSHANNAH WALSHE, MEGHAN KENEALLY, and VERONICA STRACQUALURSI note some of the highlights of the evening's event. http://abcn.ws/2dvBROt READ MORE   Fact Checking the Veeps Last night's debate, which was moderated by Elaine Quijano of CBS News and took place at Longwood University in Farmville, Va., featured two veteran politicians. But were they always telling the truth? How often were they spinning the facts when defending why voters should support their ticket in November? ABC News fact-checked some of the most noteworthy claims made in the debate: http://abcn.ws/2dIwcZ9 READ MORE   By the Numbers An ABC News analysis of last night's debate shows the showdown was full of cutoffs and disruptions, ABC's RYAN STRUYK reports, with both candidates topping Donald Trump's total number of interruptions from last week's presidential face-off. Tim Kaine interrupted Mike Pence a whopping total of 70 times last night, including 27 times during just the first half hour of the debate. Meanwhile, Pence interrupted Kaine another 40 times. (Trump interrupted Clinton 39 times during last week's debate vs. only 9 times for Clinton.) Pence also spoke roughly two and a half minutes longer than Kaine (44:46 vs. 42:06), similar to the three-minute gap between Trump and Clinton from last week's debate (45:03 vs. 41:50). Most Memorable Lines of the Debate ABC's ADAM KELSEY highlights a few of them: http://abcn.ws/2dqJ0RI READ MORE   Analysis - ABC's Rick Klein A campaign that's often been about nothing was about plenty of somethings Tuesday night. But a vice-presidential debate marred by interruptions and bitter accusations may add up to not much at all. The expected turn to policy didn't really materialize, crumbling under waves of rehearsed one-liners and crosstalk. Mike Pence came in eager to change the subject, and may well have succeeded. Tim Kaine came in mostly, well, eager -- playing aggressor in a debate that hinged on blaming the people at the top of the ticket for many of the nation's woes. Kaine set his tone early, with digs aimed at Donald Trump's old "Apprentice" persona, hits on his tax payments -- and plenty of reminders of the insults Trump has hurled at various comers. "Donald Trump can't start a Twitter war with Miss Universe without shooting himself in the foot," Kaine said, tying Trump's temperament to his suitability to serve as commander-in-chief. Pence appeared frustrated with Kaine, whose interruptions dominated the flow of discussion. But -- in stark contrast to Trump eight days ago -- he mostly avoided taking Kaine's bait. http://abcn.ws/2e0eiA1 READ MORE   From the Overnight Desk -- Eric Trump Says Father 'Absolutely' Paid Federal Income Tax Following the first vice-presidential debate, the Republican nominee's son is attempting to put one issue to rest: Taxes. Eric Trump defended his father, saying the real estate mogul has "absolutely" paid federal income tax, ABC's CANDACE SMITH said. In an interview on CNN, the younger Trump was asked if his father has paid federal income tax within the last 18 years. In a recent story, the New York Times suggested that based on a reported $916 million loss in 1995, Trump could have avoided paying federal income taxes for nearly two decades. "Of course, yes, absolutely. My father pays a tremendous amount of tax, we as a company pay a tremendous amount of tax," Eric Trump responded. The Trump team has said the returns obtained by the Times were obtained illegally and that Trump has paid hundreds of millions in other types of taxes. But as Trump was pushed later in the interview, he seemed to be referring to taxes the Trump Corporation pays, not taxes paid by Donald Trump himself. http://abcn.ws/2e0qy3G READ MORE   Kaine Calls Trump a 'Fool or Maniac' on Nuclear Weapons In last night's VP debate, Sen. Tim Kaine paraphrased a quote by Republican icon Ronald Reagan to suggest that Donald Trump may be a "fool or maniac" on nuclear weapons and someone who "could trigger a catastrophic event" -- prompting a response from Gov. Mike Pence that the comment was "even beneath you and Hillary Clinton."
