Vice presidential candidates Mike Pence and Tim Kaine faced off tonight in their lone debate, held at Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia.

As expected, the two served as surrogates for their running mates, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, on a number of issues.

Pence defended Donald Trump's tax record—maybe he's gotten to see it?—insisting Trump "used the tax code just the way it was supposed to be used—and he did it brilliantly.”

Kaine castigated Trump’s unsavory comments about women, Mexicans, blacks and other groups, but Pence claimed that that was “small potatoes” compared to Clinton’s dig about a “basket of deplorables.”

(Which we never really saw as a problem.)

When Kaine bashed Trump’s lack of foreign policy skills, saying “[he] can’t start a Twitter war with Miss Universe without shooting himself in the foot.” Pence rebutted that Kaine sounded rehearsed.

“Did you work on that one a long time?”

But they also shared their person perspectives and enumerated why they had the experience and temperament to be president if duty called.

Surprisingly, LGBT rights did not come up during the debate, though they've certainly been a political hot button this campaign—from marriage equality (which Trump has hinted he would work to overturn) to federal workplace protections for LGBT Americans (which Kaine and Clinton support).

Gun violence did come up, though—an issue that the LGBT community has taken to heart in the wake of the Pulse shooting.

Kaine spoke of the mass shooting at Virginia Tech, which occurred when he was governor, and called for better background checks and connecting officers with the communities they patrol.

“At the risk of agreeing you, community policing is a great idea,” replied Pence.

From a delivery standpoint, Pence had it all over Kaine. He came off confident and authoritative, where Kaine seemed ill at ease. Ironically, Pence had more to defend about his running mate but seemed less worried.

In the end, it didn't really feel like either was a clear winner.

Each side will go back to their corner and claim victory. And whichever presidential candidate wins in November will say tonight's performance helped cinch the deal.
