Well, the Republican Party got in their time machine today and posted several articles at their official website declaring that Mike Pence had won the debate, two hours before it started.

Here are the pages saved at the Internet Archive:

It’s Clear Who Lost the VP Debate, Hillary Clinton | GOP

Then they took the articles down when people started mocking them on Twitter, and now the links go to this cute 404 page:

So here’s our first thread to live-blog and live-tweet the vice-presidential debate. Note that Mike Pence tries to seem reasonable, but he’s an anti-science, anti-choice far right homophobe. I don’t think Tim Kaine will have any trouble with him.
