Insiders suggest Trump was less than thrilled with Pence's winning debate performance

Tuesday night's debate among the presidential running mates has brought a great deal of praise for Mike Pence, who remained calm and largely presented himself well.

However, his seeming lack of commitment to supporting Trump has raised some questions about how the GOP presidential candidate will ultimately react, notes the Washington Post.

Tweets citing inside sources suggest Trump was less than enthused with Pence's performance.

Sam Stein, a senior politics editor with the Huffington Post, wrote, "CNN's John King, reporting from a source close to Trump, that the reviews that Pence did better then he did won't go over well with Trump."

CNBC's John Harwood commented, "Trump adviser on debate after Pence passed up opportunities to defend him: 'Pence won overall, but lost with Trump.'"

In a summation of the evening, Steve Benen of MSNBC quipped, "As it turns out, the key to serving as Donald Trump's running mate is pretending Donald Trump isn't your running mate."

How that plays out during the final leg on the campaign trail will soon be seen.
