Good speech and Kaine doing just fine. People saying it's boring, are you expecting explosions or something?

 

[MetatronM]

This speech is...fine. It pales compared to Biden or Bloomberg, though.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

Catholics are not Evangelicals

Most Catholics are very liberal religiously and most believe in evolution at least based off my observations.

It's the Evangelicals that hate Catholics for not being "true Christians"

 

[Crocodile]

The way he repeats himself sounds a lot like some teachers I've listened speak and is something I've done before when I've given lectures to students.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

This is not a bad speech, but we have have amazing speeches these first 3 days and are spoiled.

 

[MHWilliams]

Tim Kaine seems like a good guy and he'll probably do a fine job.

But damn.

Feels like waiting with your girlfriend's well-to-do dad. Probably didn't help putting him after Biden.

He should give Obama a mighty boost.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I love Kaine, but the man cannot work a crowd.

The crowd there seems fine actually.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

Well he's Catholic, educated by the Jesuits....

I was educated by the Basilians (similar to Jesuits) and I was taught evolution.

 

[UraMallas]

Quit asking me question, Kaine. Just fucking hit me with it.

 

[Trey]

Tim Kaine is basically Jerry Gergich and I love it

pretty much how I'm feeling. dude is boring but adorable.

 

[Geist-]

I'm enjoying this speech, a good introduction.

But I'm still reminded of this Onion article from 08:

Goddamn. XD

 

[jon bones]

this is a good sorbet before the Obama course

He is following Malarky, that is hard shoes to fill.

 

[BronzeWolf]

El Kaino

 

[NullPointer]

Feels like waiting with your girlfriend's well-to-do dad.

Mmmhmm

 

[DrForester]

I don't know much about this guy, but this speech is making him come off as incredibly likable.

 

[Rollo Tomasi]

Did he just say Donald Lump? LOL

 

[Ithil]

This guy was a bad pick

A Spanish speaking well liked Virginia Senator? I don't think so.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Did he just say 'Donald Lump'

 

[gutter_trash]

Did he just say Donald Lump? LOL

hahahahhahahan

 

[User1608]

LOL

 

[Strimei]

I feel like he waits a beat too long after going "Can I ask you a question?"

Just a beat, bit too long.

 

[titiklabingapat]

Between the USA chants and all the Christian talk, we're kinda becoming the GOP. Or what the GOP was before the Tea Party shit in their mouths.

There were several articles from several news sites that the Democrats have effectively become the party of (modern) family values because of Trump.

 

[marrec]

The way he pronounced "Si se puede" was cringe worthy.

Specially as he went on D:

 

[DangerMouse]

He seems a little nervous.

Yeah.

Though seems like he's getting a little more into it now.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

did anyone hear him call him Donald Lump...

 

[jmood88]

Between the USA chants and all the Christian talk, we're kinda becoming the GOP. Or what the GOP was before the Tea Party shit in their mouths.

The USA chanting is the only thing that's new. There have always been democrats who talk about their religious views.

 

[RPGCrazied]

This guy is kinda low energy.

I'll take him over Pence any day of the week.

 

[DietRob]

"Can I tell ya" is Kaine's catch phrase I guess.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Donald Lump needs to become a meme.

 

[commedieu]

This speech is...fine. It pales compared to Biden or Bloomberg, though.

Yeah it's on par with all the basic speakers. People are really trying to push the boring narrative.

 

[victreeb3l]

Bloomberg went in. That was delicious.

 

[RumblingRosco]

I've figured out what Kaine can't do well -- he has no comedic (or speaking) timing. He doesn't know when to pause properly or when to not pause. Basically, his cadence is not very good.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Donna Lump. I heard it.

 

[Omadahl]

Mmmhmm

Yup.

 

[PlayALLtheGames]

That Biden-Bloomberg combo was savage. Needs gif.

 

[YaBish]

Si se puede channeling that Obama energy (yes I know that's not the phrase's origin).

 

[DrFunk]

He's a Ned Flanders, which is perfect

 

[davepoobond]

Did he just say Donald Lump? LOL

lol

 

[BlastProcessing]

is it me or is he kinda awkward.

Awkward like a dad joke.

 

[WedgeX]

I was educated by the Basilians (similar to Jesuits) and I was taught evolution.

My point is that Catholics believe in evolution and the Jesuits are known for their rigorous educational programs.

wat:O

 

[DrForester]

this is a good sorbet before the Obama course

I think Hillary and Tim's biggest problem this week is going to be getting upstaged by Barack and Joe.

Good as Tim's speech here is, Joe was a lot better.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Lump > Drumpf

 

[wanderingprostheyltite]

Did he just say Donald Lump? LOL

Lump of orange shit.

 

[aspiegamer]

Cowwwwwwbelllllllll!

This is a perfectly acceptable "doofus noob VP who never thought he'd be in this position" speech. Not as quirky as Biden, but way the hell more exciting than Gore. Getting better as he goes along. Can improvise a bit.

Democrats are spoiled by having infinite god-tier orators. They can't all be.

 

[Mii]

Most Catholics are very liberal religiously and most believe in evolution at least based off my observations.

It's the Evangelicals that hate Catholics for not being "true Christians"

Catholics have this 'special creation' view that the force that is evolution is made by God. Catholics also don't have a literal view of the Bible.

Yea it's very strange how life goes. I was brought up in a strict Adventist household and they would basically call the papacy the anti-Christ. Most Catholics I meet now are the nicest, easy going people I come across.
