If Donald Trump wants his second debate performance to turn out differently from his first, he probably shouldn't take his running mate's advice. On Thursday, a couple days after Republican vice-presidential nominee Mike Pence aced Tuesday's VP debate, the Indiana governor doled out some words of wisdom for how Trump can pull off a similarly successful performance in his second face-off with Hillary Clinton on Sunday night.

"I'd encourage Donald Trump to do what he did in his first debate and that is be himself. Speak from his mind and speak from his heart, and I know he's going to do that," Pence said during an interview on Fox & Friends on Thursday morning.
