Republicans are looking to vice presidential nominee Mike Pence to help the GOP ticket regain momentum with a strong performance at Tuesdays vice presidential debate.
Running mate Donald Trump had a mixed debate performance last Monday he came out of the gate strong but scientific polls conducted after the debate all show that voters believe Hillary Clinton ultimately got the better of him.
Since then, the campaign has been caught in a negative headline vortex as Trump and his allies continue to spar with Democrats over his treatment of a former Miss Universe who gained weight after she won the crown. Now the campaign turns to Pence, the consummate politician, in the hopes of steadying concerns from Republicans and besting the Democrats on the national stage.
What hes going to do
much like Ivanka has done with her dad, is continue to shine a light on him that is not the narrative within the liberal press and the Clinton campaign, said Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), a vocal Trump supporter.

Pence is about as far right as it gets. And he was not exactly Mr. Popularity in Indiana before he hopped aboard the Trump ticket.
