(51,523 posts)The part where he choked up talking about VA Tech; the part when he talked about his mom teaching him that you can either be right or get things done; the Spanish language interjections that made the crowd roar with approval; his description of his civil rights work...it was all fantastic!!

(3,072 posts)Kaine was praising Clinton's experience and the crowd starting chanting "Hillary, Hillary!" and Kaine turned to Clinton with a smile on his face and said "this is fun!". He seems like such a genuinely decent person.

Any day now I expect the hatchet pieces to come out...they of course will be bullshit, but they are coming

(3,072 posts)And he was running in Virginia when it was still a solid red state. This ticket has probably 40 combined years of dealing with Republican attacks. I don't think two people in this country have dealt with more right wing bullshit than these two (who can still legally run for president).

(7,963 posts)But here are some points off the top of my head:
- - BIENVENIDOS A TODOS! The crowd roared. I fell out of my chair.
--when he mentioned his son is an active marine and will be deployed in a few days to uphold nato.
--when he thanked immigrants for picking us. Lol
--how he grew up working with his parents in their business and how he learned carpentry and welding. He is such a guy next door.
--how his newly acquired knowledge of constitutional law was worthless when he went to honduras. Haha. & how he taught them basic cabinetry/welding and they taught him spanish in return
--I love how Hillary spent a lot of time talking him up. And vice versa. Trump, on the other hand, talked about himself. Trump was just ridiculous.
There are so many other moments. Really great speech!
