GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence's "job" at the first-and-only debate with his Democratic rival will be to "dismiss" any attacks on GOP nominee Donald Trump and "quickly pivot to the problems of Hillary Clinton," Gov. Scott Walker said.
In an interview aired Sunday with radio host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 The Answer, Scott said the Indiana governor is "going to be ready" for the vice presidential candidates' debate Tuesday night.
The interview starts at about the 16:37-minute mark.
"He’s doing a super job,” Walker said of Pence. “He’s going to be ready to go against [Virginia] Sen. Tim Kaine, who I think is going to be a formidable opponent as a debater as well, but he’s got the right message and the right demeanor, I think, to go forward and make the case for why Donald Trump should be the next president.”
Walker added that in researching he did to help Pence "suggests to me that Sen. Kaine will be very decent."
"He’ll come across as a mild-mannered nice guy," Walker predicted. "But in the end he’ll take shot after shot after shot at Donald Trump. Mike Pence’s job is to come in and quickly dismiss these attacks and quickly pivot to the problems of Hillary Clinton."
“I’m just convinced if this election on Nov. 8 is about Hillary Clinton, she loses,” Walker said. “If it’s about some other assortment of side issues, then it's a much more difficult race."
