Clinton/Kaine First Joint Appearance Megathread

[JRP1994]

They're currently running 49 minutes late and counting, and Wolf Blitzer is having a difficult time with filler punditry.

Finally we get underway, an hour and 9 minutes late.

CNN is talking about "Clinton time"

[musicblind]

Watching her speech, I love the words she is saying but not how she says it. I wish she would stop shouting. I felt the same way during Trump's acceptance speech. I don't like being shouted at.

[Mehmentum]

She's rocking this speech.

[The Other Castro]

Interesting how her VP introduction speech is actually about, you know, her VP.

[musicblind]

She is selling the heck out of this guy. I have to give her that.

Exactly, that is what I was just thinking! She is selling him to the American public.

I don't get how Trump is doing so well while making so many mistakes.

The thing is. I have many republican friends, including my parents. They are smart people. So, I don't get why they aren't phased by all of Trump's mistakes... like not selling Pence to the American people.

Hillary is methodically laying out the case for Kaine's qualifications. This is what a VP introduction should look like.

And here's Kaine.

Already with the Spanish!

Is Kaine wearing his H-> pin upside down?

[musicblind]

Wow, Kaine is a good orator. This makes me really look forward to the VP debate.

[Xing]

Kaine is being surprisingly not boring.

[JRP1994]

Is it too late to swap the ticket order? Kaine/Clinton is a ticket I'd support.

[New_Conservative]

Kaine is nailing it right now. Hitting all the points to lure disenfranchised Republicans and independents.

[Xing]

And now he's talking about how he's a Soothing Midwesterner™.

[Fargobison]

Is it too late to swap the ticket order? Kaine/Clinton is a ticket I'd support.

I was just thinking the same thing, the election would be over if Kaine was on top of the ticket.

[RedPrometheus]

I really have to say I'm very positively suprised.

Assuming he wants the Presidency, he'll probably be the favorite for the nomination going into 2024. Especially if Clinton can pull off two terms.

I'd definitely vote for him.

[Hermit For Peace]

I like the guy. He's already won me over, more than any other VP ever has.

He's a human being and a decent man. Great pick Hillary!

[Holmes]

I'm really surprised. I thought Kaine was a decent pick but he's really knocking it out of the park right now.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Hey, guys, long time no see!!  Can I just say that while I am an ardent Trump supporter and cannot and will not vote for Hillary Clinton, I do genuinely like Tim Kaine for a number of reasons.  He makes me not fear a Clinton presidency as much.  He seems to be moderately-liberal on most issues, definitely to her right and thus way to the right of Obama and Biden.  The only major beefs I have with him are his support for Common Core and the TPP.  On Common Core, Mike Pence is not very good with education, so that issue is really a wash between the two number twos.

[Senator Cris]

I really have to say I'm very positively suprised.

[Blue3]

He's doing surprisingly good.
