Republicans got a little ahead of themselves on Tuesday, posting an item that declared Mike Pence the winner of the vice presidential debate -- 90 minutes before the debate was scheduled to begin.
When reporters -- and comedians -- began noticing and tweeting the link around, the Republican National Committee took it down, replacing it with a picture of Hillary Clinton and the words “What do Hillary Clinton and this link have in common? They're both ‘dead broke.’ “
The earlier post was titled “Who won the presidential debate” and said that the “consensus was clear after the dust settled, Mike Pence was the clear winner of the debate.”
