FARMVILLE, Va. (CBSNewYork) — A focus group being conducted by CBS News contributor Frank Luntz believes Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine is interrupting Republican nominee Mike Pence too much during the debate.

“Kaine is interrupting too much,” Luntz tweeted. “The focus group wants the moderator to lay down the law and shut him up until it’s his turn.”

The debate is being moderated by CBS News’ Elaine Quijano.

Luntz said Pence is “winning” the debate because Kaine is interrupting constantly.

“Mike Pence is winning because Tim Kaine cannot debate like an adult without interruptions,” Luntz tweeted.

    Who's winning the #VPDebate so far?

    • 16 say Pence
    • 10 say Kaine

    Why?Pence is talking about what he's for, Kaine only what he's against.

RNC: Kaine interrupted over 70 times

The Republican National Committee claimed Tim Kaine interrupted Mike Pence and the moderator over 70 times during Tuesday’s vice presidential debate.

Shortly after the debate ended, the RNC made a quick note of Kaine’s aggressive style in an email to reporters.

The email simply included a pair of tweets from reporters, citing specific voters being turned off by the Democratic vice presidential nominee's style.

“Undecided voter in Ohio says, 'Kaine came off like a jerk' tonight. Adds that he 'reinforced' some of the negatives about Clinton,” read one tweet from CNN’s Dan Merica.

In a separate statement, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus described Kaine as having “desperately flailed away with empty platitudes and constant interruptions.”

Throughout Tuesday’s debate, Kaine did repeatedly interject, drawing the attention of many debate watchers on social media.

And outside analysis confirms that Kaine did push harder to interject. Analysis from FiveThirtyEight found that Kaine interrupted over 70 times, compared to just over 40 interruptions for Pence.

We are and we can? Awesome! In that case I am going to force everyone to vote for Jim Hedges of the Prohibition party. It's about time, isn't it?

And if Hillary wins, Kaine will only be a heartbeat away.  As much as I can't stomach Hillary,  Kaine would be even more of an embarrassment.

I had no idea the Prohibition Party still existed, let alone that they were putting forth President and VP candidates. And they're going to be on the ballot in three states! Maybe.  Sadly, it appears that they won't be on the ballot in Texas, so I won't be able to vote for them.
