The true measure of how well Kaine did in his speech

is that the anti-Hillary websites are completely silent about Kaine, following the speech.

Utter silence on all the sites I checked. It's as though there was no roll-out today of her VP candidate.

Nada. Zip. Rien. Zilch. There's nothing they can say, really.

Clinton/Kaine 2016!

following his speech. They simply don't know what to say. It's amazing!

I didn't believe it was actually her at first!

Also, Michael Steele was trying to deflect away from him, so you KNOW he was a good pick. AND when Chuck Todd tried to cut down the "He's not really a Progressive" argument, Tweety and Andrea pointed to his earlier career and work. It was a thing of beauty!

... as evidence that Kaine (and thereby Clinton) are for "open borders" and purposely bringing in more Mexicans to change US demographics to help the Democratic Party.

I'll be surprised if they don't.

I don't spend any time looking for or looking at "anti-hillary" sites, be they manned by righties or real lefties.

That they'll no doubt be forthcoming is as predictable as what I've witnessed here.

... but not the really extreme ones like the FReak show http://freerepublic.com/focus/browse

I think it tends to not list forum sites like the FReaks.

hate sites? Deranged Clinton haters rooting for Trump can find those sites on their own--no need to provide free marketing for hate sites.

Very little activity. Nothing at the FReaks after a flurry of small threads about this or that angle on Kaine.

Other than those three articles, nothing about the Kaine rollout showed up at a big conservative aggregator.

Trump said Hillary and Tim "don't look very Presidential". As if he knows anything about it.
