debate in farmville, virginia.think increase in enthusiasm is obviously good news for the clinton camp. what do you think is the cause of it? >> i think, one, her her debate performance and i think trump's following up with that with some of the pit falls that he has had over the last five or six days clearly as energized her supporters. the thing about this, brit, was there is no doubt that trump supporters were more energized and enthusiastic throughout the whole year throughout the primaries and now in the general. what democrats were hoping would make up for that was clinton's advantages on her organization being able to organize and get out the vote much stronger than what they thought trump was going to do. that was going to be the great equalizer. if this poll is right and her energy level has come up with her supporters, now that increased organizational ability, that get out the vote ability turns to an advantage, not an equalizer. that will be interesting to see if other polls start to confirm this. but t

from farmville, virginia, i'm elaine quijano of cbs news. good night. [ applause ] >> the republican and democratic nominees to be vice president of the united states, and a debate which stands in stark contrast to what we saw last week before the republican and democratic standard bearers' aggressive interruptions to begin tonight. donald trump -- i should say, mike pence's attacks on the clinton leadership and trustworthiness issues, tim kaine demanding that mike pence defend donald trump's position throughout. by pence to turn around the recent slide in the polls and reset the deck for donald trump, providing a roadmap for future debates between donald trump and hillary clinton. the question is, did it succeed tonight? kellyanne conway, donald trump's spokesperson, stepping into this room behind us this evening, as the debate itself was wrapping up, just moments ago. donald trump live tweeting throughout. and the analysis will come next. but one thing is for certain. there was no late evening fade. ther positions of the day. and certainly

>> well, tim kaine is from the state we are in farmville, virginia.ou have places around dv and northern virginia where there's a lot more democrats who make up almost as much as the rural areas in farmville. they are going to be straddling the line trying to a not mess up in any way but try to get across their points because they are the stalwarts of their party. pay attention. this ticket tonight you are going to see them again because in four or eight years they will be running for president. >> one of the problems both of these candidates have had is pulling over millennial voters. what can either one of them do to win over a little bit more of that demographic? >> for obvious reasons millennials are focused on the economy and the job situation. i think the advantage falls to mike pence because he's the standard for the populus still running. mike pence is traditionally more of a conservative small government social conservative religious backing kind of guy. donald trump has the energy like bernie sanders. when trump talks about trade and immigra

welcome to farmville, virginia. don't know if we could have gotten a more perfect day. >> a gorgeous day, a great place to be. bill: what is kaine's objective? to go after donald trump or promote hillary clinton. >> to talk about two very different visions of this country. i listened to kellyanne say that and i agree with that. i think it's about change and what kind of change. we believe donald trump is suggesting a lot of policies that would take us back from his economic policies from big tax cuts mostly benefiting the wealthy expecting that to trickle down to everybody else. what was it like, trumped up, trickle down. there are so many other stories in the past week. you think about this f.b.i. story where they reached an agreement to smash the computers of some of hillary clinton's aides? >> i think -- that would be my phone, that's my mother probably calling. what i would say is two things. one is i think it's mike pence who will be on defense. donald trump had a horrible debate performance, then got into a we

here you're going to be in farmville, virginia. inia tech, i commended tim kaine for his efforts as governor after the terrible tragedy and shootings on that campus. where you are is a place where as a senator about ten years ago i led what's called a civil rights pilgrimage where the faith and politics pilgrimage to understand what happened there in farmville. many, many years ago where they shut down the schools rather than integrate. and the very poignant hardships and -- that people have to struggle through and families separated and children, some sent all the wait to iowa to get an education. those schools were shut down in prince edward county i think for five years. that's going to come up somehow in this debate and tim will bring it up and he'll probably bring it up, home field advantage. but it will fit into a narrative he'll talk about as a civil rights attorney, what his father-in-law did, and how our country needs to be together rather than divisive. >> well, exactly. so as you know, donald trump is having a problem wit

you're watching cnn, spiders and all in beautiful farmville, virginia. we're thrilled to be here on the campus of longwood university. we'll be right back. >> the people getting killed in this deal are small business people and individuals who make just a little too much to get any of these subsidies. why? because they're not organized, they don't any bargaining power with insurance companies and they're getting whacked. so you've got this crazy system where suddenly 25 million more people have health care and people are busting it sometimes 60 hours a week wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half. it's the craziest thing in the world. >> let me bring my panel back. we heard bill clinton back. the a-team hillary clinton surrogates are out and about but it's making news when you hear "crazy" and "obamacare" coming from bill clinton in the same breath. dana bash, let me defer to you. a, is he right? b, how much cleanup needs to be done? >> is he right on the policy? this is basically the talking points from republicans since befor

we're in an historic place in farmville, virginia, which was the heart of some of the struggle for civil rights in the state, in the commonwealth of virginia. and i think he wants to, again, restore that sense of inclusion, expand the circle of opportunity, that's what he's going to argue for. that's what hillary's been arguing for. but he'll also draw a sharp contrast with the division, the bigotry, the kind of campaign that donald trump has run. you know, he said wants a campaign of big ideas. he's really run a campaign of big insults. and i think there will be contrast, but i think what tim wants to do is talk about what kind of future democrats want to build, what kind of future the clinton/kaine ticket wants to build, so that we bring our country together, not keep working on this politics of division, bigotry, and hate. >> all right. john podesta with the hometown pander, thanks for being with me. appreciate it. >> thanks, chris. >>> joining me now, john harwood with covers national politics for cnbc. same question for you guys. i went back and read the transcript of the 1960 debat
