Good choice, I like this guy's personality. Seems amicable and pretty honest.

(65,187 posts)He's warmer and more charismatic than I thought. How progressive he and Hillary will be remains to be seen, but I have come around on him in some ways.

(65,187 posts)and that is more than I was before.
Recursion
(56,582 posts)They just are.
mvd
(65,187 posts)Understand that to a Sanders supporter, a little more than median does not mean a lot. But why not focus on my positive part? I like Kaine more than before. We could argue if they are liberal enough all night and I don't think much would be accomplished.
Recursion
(56,582 posts)This is undeniable. It's also all that matters.
mvd
(65,187 posts)No, it is not. And actually they are not far from median.

(4,558 posts)You just KNOW this speech was perfectly crafted and designed to bring out the Donald to slip up and attack on twitter.
Grab that popcorn my friends and fellow liberals and progressives, this is about to get goooooooood.
Recursion
(56,582 posts)Because this is driving him crazy.

(879 posts)Did 2 things.
1) We all have verbal crutches that we use. Don't even realize it. If you've ever listened to yourself on tape, you'll pick up on it. I used to say "I mean" a ton. You have to train yourself to not do it. Trump's crutch is "Believe Me", which is now a joke. Every time he says it, it'll be a joke. He'll catch himself, it'll be in his head. It's so difficult to undo that.
2) He just left a big, juicy trap for some Republican to say some racist stuff about him speaking in Spanish. Someone is going to say something like, "in this country, we speak American."
mvd
(65,187 posts)Hillary can't handle all the Trump bullying on her own, so that's important.
Recursion
(56,582 posts)She's the vision now, not the attack dog. That's what she has Kaine for.
mvd
(65,187 posts)An attack dog VP is important though, as you said. Sounds like Kaine can do it better than I thought.

(16,276 posts)Biden laughing at Ryan was just the highlight of the 2012 election struggle for me. Well, that and Obama winning a second term.

(3,275 posts)There is plenty to go around. Tim Kaine's speech was awesome. I have watched the entire democratic convention so far. There have been some amazing speeches.

If your ass has been kicked away, Obama will hand you a temporary ass, and kick it.

(5,815 posts)Beat down. I told my husband at one point....these comments are gonna leave a mark. Up to now, few people have been able to successfully take tRump on and come out feeling like they were effective. (Little Marco, Lyin' Ted, Low Energy, etc) They always threw a punch and as soon as tRump punched back they retreated to their corner like whipped dogs. After tonight he had better watch out...the gauntlet was thrown down and nobody gave the slightest indication they were afraid of the bully any more. I keep hoping for a total meltdown by tRump (on camera) and given how the tide has shifted it could come any day!

(4,311 posts)To me, the most effective part of his speech was when he was talking about trusting Hillary and he said, "and with my son deployed overseas, I trust her with OUR SON'S LIFE."
SO POWERFUL!
