Donald Trump on Wednesday touted what he called his running mate's “decisive victory” at the vice presidential debate the night before, saying Mike Pence did an “incredible job” -- while taking credit for picking the Indiana governor for his ticket. “Mike Pence did an incredible job, and I’m getting a lot of credit because he was my first so-called choice, my first hire as we’d say in Las Vegas,” Trump said at a Nevada rally. “He was cool, he was smart, he was meant to be doing what he’s doing and we’re very proud of Governor Mike Pence,” Trump said. Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook credited Kaine for interjecting and said Trump is the one who lost the debate because Pence, he claimed, did not adequately defend him. While vice presidential debates rarely move the needle significantly in the race for the White House, the Trump campaign seized on the debate as a chance to reset the campaign narrative after the first presidential debate which Trump was widely seen to have lost.
