RNC Declares Pence the Winner of the Debate — Before It Starts
via NBC News
The Republican National Committee seems like it’s pretty confident in vice presidential candidate Mike Pence — so much so that the organization posted about Pence’s victory in the debate hours before the event even started.
“The consensus was clear after the dust settled, Mike Pence was the clear winner of the debate,” read the post on GOP.com, which reporters spotted on Twitter early in the 7pm ET hour. (The debate starts at 9pm.)
Apparently, the GOP VP is ready to have some “top moments” during the debate on the economy and “highlighting Hillary’s scandals.”
Here’s a screenshot from around 7:18pm. The post has since been taken down.
