Hard Times

Moms are tuff

 

[hoos30]

This is the same as his introduction speech but it's lacking a lot of that initial charm.

Yep. Must be tough doing it a second time.

 

[rando14]

Kaine definitely comes across as a down to earth dude. I like him.

I agree. He comes across as a pretty simple guy who can actually fit in with us common dudes

 

[Zackat]

Same actor. The aging obv bridges the gap more.

ya I know.

 

[Vire]

He's bland, but that's what a VP should be. Otherwise you could end up with Palin and ruin your ticket.

 

[Speely]

I kinda like his speaking style. It's personable and not overdone.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

Wake me up when he's done speaking.<span class="emoji-outer emoji-sizer"><span class="emoji-inner" style="background: url(chrome-extension://immhpnclomdloikkpcefncmfgjbkojmh/emoji-data/sheet_apple_64.png);background-position:67.5% 62.5%;background-size:4100%" title="sleeping"></span></span>

good one

 

[Cyrano]

He comes across as the nice guy in the office who everyone likes but doesn't find particularly interesting.

Yep, pretty much. Probably how he got elected.

 

[jett]

This guy is just not exciting, but he's aight.

I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers

haha

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Why would he be doing the same speech? I wonder why they thought this was a good idea.

like, 100 thousand people saw that speech. They're getting millions tonight.

 

[Shadow_Lord]

When's Obama?

 

[Trouble]

Sometimes you want vanilla pudding when the other side is offering arsenic laced cat shit.

Shit, I'd happily take unflavored sugar-free pudding. Vanilla is a pleasant upgrade.

 

[DietRob]

Tim Kaine is a good dude but unfortunately he's been flanked by some of the best speakers in the party so his speech looks more bland and boring than it should.

 

[UraMallas]

This is the exact same speech as Miami. He seems much more nervous, though. He also missed the chance to talk more about that Armenian teacher who held the door after surviving the Holocaust and the Iron Curtain. That was a great line from Miami.

 

[neurosisxeno]

I feel like I'm the only person who thinks this speech is okay. He's not a phenomenal orator like Obama, but it works for the kind of image Kaine has.

 

[Dan]

Why would he be doing the same speech? I wonder why they thought this was a good idea.

Much bigger audience, and lots of people who didn't sit down over the weekend to watch his announcement speech.

 

[woolley]

He's gonna make me fall asleep before Obama speaks.

 

[greatgeek]

The "Party of Lincoln" concept is pretty ridiculous anyway. Politics, and political parties, have changed just a bit since 1860.

If the motherfucking Great Emancipator is the patriarch of your party, you never shut up about it.

 

[A Human Becoming]

Sometimes you want vanilla pudding when the other side is offering arsenic laced cat shit.

That is a terrible desert. I want to speak with the manager.

 

[ratcliffja]

This is the first speech of the DNC that I just can't sit through. Man...

 

[Joeytj]

Hmmm, I want to say it's boring, but I don't know, he's like a kid, endearing. Likable, which I think is the point.

EDIT: He ad-lib that "bern by the other guy" line, and it was better than the rest of the speech. He's much better at rallies than big speeches so far.

 

[kaname-san]

He keeps repeating phrases twice.

That's why they call him Timmy Two-times

 

[RumblingRosco]

He annunciates words rather awkwardly.

"We all should feel the burn, and we should not get burned by the other guy."

 

[Geg]

Oh no he woke them up

 

[Prodigal Son]

"BERNIEBERNIEBERNIEBERNIE"

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Wow Bernie is holding it in

He looks like he wants to blow up

 

[Sanjuro]

Bernie: This motherfucker is going to make me move.

 

[Tobor]

He's a guy who can step in and run the country on day one if the worst were to happen.

He's rock solid and he's a good dude. That's a VP.

 

[FStop7]

JFC, I'm still shaking my head at the fire Joe Biden spat. Does Trump have any hair left on his orange body? Putin, too!

 

[Bsigg12]

The great snooze before the storm. Also you shouldn't have said Bernie.

 

[friskykillface]

It's Bernie the god

 

[Xplatformer]

The Virginian mother F.....



I want a Virginia flag for Rocket League dammit.

 

[Hazzuh]

Isn't it going to be an issue if the president and the vice-president aren't very natural public speakers? Obama and Biden both seem to love this sort of stuff.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Kaine's is not the best speaker.

 

[diaspora]

lol @ the cut to Bernie: "don't cry"

 

[Officerrob]

That was a good line

 

[itwasTuesday]

Feel the bern

 

[mjp2417]

Tim Kaine seems likable enough, but he has the charisma of a cardboard box

 

[MetalGearZed]

Wake me up when he's done speaking.

*Sets alarm for 7:00 A.M*
jk

 

[BlastProcessing]

Who brought the cowbell?

 

[WedgeX]

Maybe only Time Kaine could turn that phrase properly.

 

[Steel]

Damn BoBers making this speech longer than it needs to be....

 

[Jimmy King]

FEEL THE BERN

 

[Cake Boss]

I'm gonna get the papers, get the papers

Lol this is gold.

 

[Hazmat]

Sanders looks like he just wants to go home.

 

[Brinbe]

You can tell he's a bit overwhelmed by the moment and crowd but he'll calm down.

He's probably much better in intimate settings with a smaller crowd, like a rally than a stadium full of people.

 

[Chococat]

He's folksy. Bush Jr. peeps should love this guy. Perfect guy to have a beer with after wrangling tumbleweeds.

 

[BFIB]

Face Kane is the worst.

 

[banefirelord]

Well that didn't work.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Yeah, this guy seems very likable.
