Kaine is there to counterpoint Clinton's hawkishness. Of course he won't be an attack dog.

 

[Officerrob]

The same publication that yesterday published an article saying Seinfeld was shit?

What exactly does this have to do with anything?

 

[Makai]

Is Tim Kaine gay?

 

[neurosisxeno]

What exactly does this have to do with anything?

Nothing really. I just haven't read many accurate or quality articles from The Guardian lately.

 

[RustyNails]

This speech just got a shot in the arm

 

[Diablos]

He's killing him haha

 

[Black Mamba]

I like Kaine going after Trump's taxes.

And also the line about trusting Hillary with his son's life overseas was really good.


But this is so folksy...he's like that dad everyone knows that is super nice and smart and you talk a bunch with.

But as a speech after Bloomberg and Biden before Obama...ehhh

 

[GutsOfThor]

Looks like he was just warming up.

 

[neurosisxeno]

This speech just got a shot in the arm

He's getting better as it goes on.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Kaine has that Sesame Street personality.

 

[Crayons]

So Bernie left the democratic party today?

I quite like it. He's working the crowd too.

@vineyille
Sure Tim Kaine is bilingual but I once saw Mike Pence place an order for a meatball sub by screaming fax machine noises into a phone.

 

[Slayven]

This speech just got a shot in the arm

Yeah he found his hook

 

[Holmes]

Can every Onion headline of Kaine during his time as VP just be him making dad jokes.

 

[Diablos]

So Bernie left the democratic party today?

He technically was never a part of it.

 

[Crayons]

believe me

 

[Black Mamba]

lol

*DEAD*

 

[Plinko]

Kaine is destroying Trump.

"Not One Word" should catch on.

 

[Officerrob]

This speech is going to be panned

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Getting Fucking Lit

 

[Makai]

that cowbell sounds like vic berger put it in

They need to do a story about how Kaine wants to drop America off right in front of the school no matter how obviously embarrassed America is.

 

[Diablos]

This speech is going to be panned

It's not that bad.

 

[Vahagn]

I just want people to laugh from now on when trump reflexively says "believe me" lol

 

[BlastProcessing]

Getting Fucking Lit

Even dads can get lit.

 

[Plinko]

This is exactly the same thing Trump's speakers were cheered for. It's a good attack speech.

There will be so many bake sale stories.

 

[Slayven]

lol

I just checked Milwaukee is 28 minutes from waukesha

savage

 

[Diablos]

It's made for more centrist religious voters. It's effective.

 

[Maengun1]

Okay this has improved immeasurably. First 5 minutes was awkward city.

Tim actually working the crowd <3 how is he getting less heckling than most O_O

 

[Crayons]

He's so awkward

 

[cartoon_soldier]

Sounds like a good white guy appealing speech

 

[shem935]

Relatively low expectations working in his favor.

Overall good speech. Solid B+/B, better than everything last week.

 

[Vahagn]

So weird! Whatever. Bring. On. The. Goat

 

[Teggy]

Yup, Biden->Bloomberg->Kaine is not for the base. This is good.

 

[neurosisxeno]

I thought he did well, and I'm a lot happier with him as a VP pick than I was a week ago, so I guess it was a success for me.

 

[Y2Kev]

Maddow liked it. Guess he's better than Bill. lol ok

Also no booing haha.

 

[Officerrob]

Chuck Todd: "There is a suburban dad quality to him"

 

[Slayven]

Sounds like a good white guy appealing speech

Yeah it is for the indpenedants and moderates. got to spread the love

 

[PBY]

That was so weird haha I kinda dig it

 

[balladofwindfishes]

He's different from Biden, but he's got this adorable dorkiness about him that I find incredibly appealing

 

[Black Mamba]

I said Kaine's best attribute might be reeling in middle aged suburban men who don't really want to vote Trump but don't like Hillary.

Hopefully, that's right.

Now for the main event.

 

[Iolo]

Flat at the beginning but improved toward the end.

 

[Y2Kev]

I mean everyone has to do the speech that fits them. Kaine can't shout COME ON WE'RE AMERICA

 

[daedalius]

lol

Brutal!

 

[neurosisxeno]

Chuck Todd: "There is a suburban dad quality to him"

Absolutely. I think that is what they were going for--someone who doesn't have the perceived elitism of the Clinton family.

 

[PBY]

I mean everyone has to do the speech that fits them. Kaine can't shout COME ON WE'RE AMERICA

He's a dorky dad.

No shade, I was into it.

 

[Dominican Power]

I can see why they picked Kaine to be her veep. He softens her.
