I’m a Becerra man myself, but I suppose if Tim Kaine can keep this kind of energy up he might not be a bad running mate for HRC. I’ve heard Kaine called a number of things, some good some less flattering, but “feisty” is a new one. Makes me feel marginally better about TK, I have to say.
C-Span Hillary and TIm (some buffering)
And some quotes from Politico
“In his potential vice presidential audition alongside Hillary Clinton in Annandale, Virginia on Thursday, Kaine posed three questions to the crowd of supporters: He asked whether they want a “you’re fired” or “you’re hired” president, a “trash talker” or a “bridge builder,” and a “me first” president or a “kids and family first” president.
“I predict after this whole thing is over, what will be remembered about the failed candidacy of Donald Trump is ‘You’re fired” — and maybe one other phrase: Trump U, OK?” Kaine quipped, in what was possibly a double entendre.”
“They coordinated their speeches, but an unusually energized Kaine took most of the swings at Trump, while Clinton focused on her policy talking points (with some anti-Trump zingers sprinkled in).”
“When it comes to our leadership in the world, trash talking ain’t enough,” Kaine said. “We need a bridge builder, and we’ve got a bridge builder in Hillary Clinton.”
“Kaine also showcased his fluency in Spanish, communicating directly to Spanish-speaking supporters in the audience at times and translating for the English speakers. He used both languages to extol Clinton’s “Ready for Hillary” slogan, which he described as a “powerful phrase” because of what it means in both languages.”
