(WARRENSBURG, Mo., digitalBURG) — I was able to watch the vice presidential debate on Tuesday, Oct. 4. The two candidates are Mike Pence and Tim Kane. Pence is Donald Trump’s vice presidential running mate and Tim Kane is Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential running mate.

Kane started talking first, and he said he wanted to help build and grow the economy all over the world. He said he will be Clinton’s right hand man and he dreams of representing his country in Washington, D.C.

Kane has the motivation for being the vice president, and is very organized and knows the facts.

I believe Pence took over the panel. He interrupted Kane a lot.

Pence is confident and sarcastic at times. I think he’s not a people pleaser. He knows how to work things out and he knows business. He is dedicated and passionate about being the vice president.

Kane said he and Clinton would not take on social security. He has the aggression and enthusiasm for what he will do to make the world a better place to live. He is passionate about helping the police and making them know they are appreciated for risking their lives for others. Pence understands that police make the decision to risk their lives for our safety.

Kane is both street smart and book smart. Pence is the opposite of Kane – he is book smart and has little experience with street smarts. Basically, this means that Kane is able to take a joke and able to laugh things off but pence is uptight and is not able to take a joke once in a while.

We all need some time to laugh things off. Pence is not the right candidate because he is so uptight. Kane is able to laugh things off and also wants to make this world a better place to live in.

I am on the side of making this world a better place to live. My honest opinion is that Kane is the right candidate for the vice presidential spot, not Pence.

Pence wants to make this world great again, but not for me. I want this world to stop getting into wars and make this place peaceful instead of always fighting. I want to stop it from becoming a privileged country that doesn’t let immigrants come in because I believe that God loves us no matter what we look like.

If immigrants want to come in, that’s fine. Just let them go through a proper screening to make sure they don’t bomb us or hit us with nuclear weapons.

Both Kane and Pence have their own opinions about the country. Just remember this: if you become the vice president, you have to think about what the people want and need to properly live in the U.S.

I could be a better fit for either the vice president or the presidential position because one of the candidates is an ignorant back stabber who leaked a personal email account to the public, and the other is a distinguished, nasty, sociopath who won’t make the U.S. great again.

Even though Trump has the money, no one in their right mind will choose a sociopathic millionaire to become the next president.

If I have to pick between the two vice presidential candidates, I would choose Kane and Clinton because they actually know the facts and don’t want to make this country a privileged place for wealthy, white people. Kane and Clinton would be the prefect president and vice president. So overall, I think I will let people know to vote for Tim and Hillary.
