In just an hour or so, vice presidential candidates Gov. Mike Pence and Sen. Tim Kaine will go mano a mano in their only debate of the election, making the case for their running mates as the ideal commander-in-chief.

But poor Kaine doesn’t stand a chance. Pence has already won. That’s according to the Republican party, which maybe jumped the gun when it published all this on GOP.com before the debate actually, uh, began.

Congratulations to Governor Pence, who I guess doesn’t even need to show up now. The U.S. electoral process is a model of the strictest efficiency.
