Some Human Told Hillary Clinton It Would Be a Good Idea to Say Pokemon Go to the Polls"

Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine walk into a bar, boy are their arms tired!

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is not an exciting speaker. Neither is Hillary Clinton. Neither of them are very clever or able to deliver strong "zingers." This doesn't mean that Hillary Clinton shouldn't be president, or that she shouldn't pick Tim Kaine as her running mate. They have other qualities! But neither Tim Kaine nor Hillary Clinton really has "lines."
OR DO THEY?

@ABCPolitics Look at all those young Millenials in the crowd!! #ImWithHer #StrongerTogether
Look at Kaine, just dying over that, near wingspan-length clapping; Clinton nodding like she just bought the place and you can all pop off if you don't like it. She knows it, oh she knows it.

OP
I watched most of the rally yesterday--and I thought Kaine got the crowd going.

(182,805 posts)1. Kaine isn't a boring speaker
His personality comes through in his speeches. I've met him several times.

He's a credit to our party.
