Florida Congrats Come in after Vice Presidential Debate

After Tuesday night's vice presidential debate, the Orlando-based Florida Trump-Pence Campaign released these statements from state leaders reacting to Republican Mike Pence’s performance against Democrat Tim Kaine:
 
Steve Crisafulli, speaker of the Florida House: "Tonight Mike Pence demonstrated that he is ready to help lead America back to greatness. While Tim Kaine once again proved he is the status quo candidate of choice, Mike Pence put forth his vision for bold change and an end to the rampant special interest control of Washington. Governor Pence was the clear winner of tonight’s debate and his call for a stronger and more secure America is exactly what Florida needs after eight years of failed Obama policies." 

Former Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos: "Governor Mike Pence’s debate performance was a perfect example of what true leadership looks like. Right from the beginning, Pence spoke to the issues affecting working class families across the state of Florida. As Kaine pushed for a continuation of more offshoring, taxes and open borders, Mike Pence explained his and Donald Trump’s vision for an American comeback. After watching tonight’s debate, it is clear that Governor Pence is ready to serve as our nation's Vice President."

Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) Chairman Blaise Ingoglia released this statement:
 
“Tonight, Senator Tim Kaine proved that he is a rehearsed empty suit who spent the better part of the night reciting campaign talking points rather than engaging in thoughtful debate about the issues American families care about. Between the incessant Kaine interruptions, Governor Pence showed a measured and steady hand in delivering the indictment of a Hillary Clinton presidency and why Trump’s pro-growth and pro-national security plans are what this country needs during these challenging times.”

Also, NARAL Pro-Choice America, a network of state affiliates dedicated to protecting and expanding reproductive freedom for all Americans, issued a statement of its own:

"Senator Tim Kaine tonight proved why he's the right man for the job of vice president and will help make Hillary Clinton's strong agenda a reality. He showed a grasp of policy, a strong moral compass, and above all, a trust and respect for women that is in direct contrast to the misogyny that guides the Trump-Pence Campaign daily. Senator Kaine reaffirmed his commitment to making sure women have access to abortion care and repeatedly asked why Mike Pence does not trust American women to make their own personal decisions. 

"Mike Pence has built a career on taking a woman's health care decisions and choices away from her. He led the charge to defund Planned Parenthood, and even led Indiana when a woman was put behind bars for her abortion. He put Donald Trump's dangerous rhetoric into practice, plain and simple.

"The choice in this election is stark, and NARAL members are so proud to stand with the ticket that stands with American women."
