>> PHOTOS: Vice presidential debate
1. Pence thanks wrong venue. At the beginning of the debate, Pence thanked "Norwood University for their wonderful hospitality." So, what's the problem? There is no Norwood University. The candidates were at Virginia's Longwood University.
The fake school quickly became a trending topic on Twitter.

2. Pence calls out Kaine for canned attack. Kaine made a reference to Donald Trump's reality TV show, "The Apprentice," while laying out his ticket's plans for the economy, asking, "Do you want a 'you're hired' president in Hillary Clinton, or do you want a 'you're fired' president in Donald Trump?"

3. Kaine accuses Trump of having a "personal Mount Rushmore" of dictators. While discussing Trump's "dangerous ideas," Kaine said the GOP nominee "trash talks the military," "wants to tear up alliances" and "loves dictators."

4. The candidates try to drown each other out. Tuesday's debate was filled with frequent interruptions from the get-go, and the moderator, CBS News' Elaine Quijano, was not amused.

5. Candidates argue over whose campaign is more "insult-driven." Addressing what he called a "fundamental respect issue," Kaine slammed some of Trump's controversial remarks and the tone of his campaign.
Pence responded, "To be honest with you, if Donald Trump had said all of the things that you've said he said in the way you said he said them, he still wouldn't have a fraction of the insults that Hillary Clinton leveled when she said that half of our supporters were a basket of deplorables. She said they were irredeemable; they were not American.
"I mean, it's extraordinary," he continued. "And then she labeled one after another 'ism' on millions of Americans who believe that we can have a stronger America at home and abroad, who believe we can get this economy moving again, who believe that we can end illegal immigration once and for all."
