Unlike any weve seen before between donald trump and Hillary Clinton. Now, their lesser known v. P. Picks mike pence and tim kaine face off in the most critical night of their political lives.

While we dont know how Many Americans will tune in, we do know Donald Trumps planning to watch. He says hell be live tweeting throughout. Shannon bream is in
