Meyers says Pence trumps The Donald at debating: ‘He should coach you’

Seth Meyers thinks Donald Trump would benefit from being Mike Pence’s debate Apprentice.

While analyzing Tuesday’s vice presidential debate on Late Night, Meyers likened Hillary Clinton’s choice for VP, the harmonica-toting Tim Kaine, to “a dad when his daughter’s friends come over, eager to jump in with terrible zingers.”

And though Meyers acknowledged Trump’s pick, Pence, repeatedly and sternly denied things that he and Trump have in fact said, the talk show host had nice things to say about the governor of Indiana, especially after news reports indicated Pence’s superior debate performance might’ve gotten under The Donald’s skin.

“We don’t say a lot of positive things about Donald Trump on this show,” Meyers said, “but Donald, your boy Mike Pence is great on TV. I mean, what a good debater. He is nothing like you. He was calm and polite, regular-sized hands. He never got all red and sweaty. He should coach you.”

And the burns continued.

“But seriously, it was a great night for the Pence-Trump ticket – sorry Trump-Pence. Why am I doing that?” Meyers asked. “It’s probably because he seems so presidential. By the way is he younger than you? I’d watch your back around Melania. Anyway, great pick. You nailed it, bro. You nailed it.”
