They both did it a little bit, but Kain was repeating media lies, not the truth. Don't be confused. Trump never called Mexicans rapists. A) He was talking about illegal immigrants, and B) in the same context he said that some of them I'm sure are good people, but they are breaking the law.
Again, on the Putin thing. Pence specifically said in the past that Putin has been a stronger leader for his country on the world stage than Obama has been for America. He didn't say that Putin was therefore a better leader. Look at Syria and Ukraine. Putin is being stronger than Obama.... and in Syria he actually might be fighting ISIS much better than Obama.

I think that's one of the major problems the Trump ticket is having; saying things that are caught on video and then acting like they didn't say them. Trump has very clearly said that Putin was "doing a better job than Obama". Anyone with an internet connection and 30 seconds of free time can look it up. Hell, even Zerohedge reported it. Instead of acting like Trump didn't say it, they should take the time to clarify. Just like on all of Trumps poorly chosen talking points, every time he says something stupid they need to dedicate time to correcting it. As it is, they are looking like amatuerish five year olds crying "I didn't say that mommy!" when they clearly did. If Trump wasn't running against someone so fatally flawed as Killary he would be getting slaughtered.
