Wow, @CNN is so negative. Their panel is a joke, biased and very dumb. I'm turning to @FoxNews where we get a fair shake! Mike will do great

With the showdown between the two vice presidential candidates, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine taking place Tuesday night, Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, is all set to live tweet the showdown.
The debate starts at 9 p.m. Eastern, and is being held at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, and moderated by CBS News’ Elaine Quijano.
I will be watching the great Governor @Mike_Pence and live tweeting the VP debate tonight starting at 8:30pm est! Enjoy!

It seems like sort of a cheap publicity stunt for someone planning to fill the most dignified shoes in the land, but being The Donald means never being too stuffy to jump on Twitter at any time of day or night and send out tweets like a Kardashian on Red Bull. Especially at 3 a.m. when he feels like trashing a former beauty queen for her weight.
According to USA Today, this isn’t the first time the questionable candidate Donald Trump has live tweeted a television event. He also commented on Twitter during the opening Democratic primary debate last year in Las Vegas.
Others also made note of this unusual behavior from a political candidate. According to Newsmax, the co-chairman for the Commission on Presidential Debates, Mike McCurry, told Fox News that:
‘Usually the top of the ticket kind of takes a backseat and lets the No. 2 candidate shine on these occasions, but Donald Trump likes to do things differently.’
McCurry did point out that it was pretty untraditional for a presidential candidate to do and is concerned that any news organizations will run the tweets onscreen during the debate.’
“I think we want to concentrate on what the candidates have to say.”
Let the games begin:
‘Wow, CNN is so negative. Their panel is a joke, biased and very dumb. I’m turning to Fox News where we get a fair shake.’

Again with Megyn Kelly! Perhaps Donald Trump just can’t deal with women who are fed up with his lies.
‘@megynkelly – I am in Nevada. Sorry to inform you Kellyanne is in the audience. Better luck next time.’

This one is sort of confusing, and I’m not sure Donald Trump read this all the way through, but the Republican nominee isn’t really very good at vetting his Twitter comments and retweets.
‘I want a “you’re fired” president with people in Govt who are WASTING my tax $’s.’

Well, if Trump has learned anything about debates, it’s that you have to prepare for them. And perhaps have done your homework on more than one issue.
"@GeeVeeM: @realDonaldTrump @Susiesentinel Pence is so prepared! He did his homework to outperform Kaine."

Except when he’s “very troubled” about cops gunning down innocent black men, of course. (Oh, that’s right — that one was a woman.)
