Forget taking it easy.
Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Tim Kaine didn’t waste any time reminding voters that Donald Trump was at the center of the birther movement.
In a question about why more voters don’t find Clinton trustworthy, Kaine highlighted why Trump might not be all that trustworthy himself.
“He has pursued the discredited and really outrageous lie that President Obama wasn’t born in the United States,” Kaine said. “It is so painful to suggest that we go back to think about these days where an African-American could not be a citizen of the United States. And I can’t imagine how Governor Pence can defend the insult-driven, selfish, me-first style of Donald Trump.”
For Clinton, Kaine argued, “It’s always been about putting others first. And that’s a sharp contrast with Donald Trump. Donald Trump always puts himself first. He built a business career in the words of one of his own campaign staffers, off the backs of the little guy.”
I wish they’d both stop attacking the Presidential candidates - we’ve already had that debate. I’d like to see Kaine go after Pence, something along the lines of “do we really want a radical wannabe theocrat a mere Trump resignation away from the White House?” Only focusing on Trump lets Pence off the hook for his extremism IMO. Go after Pence, too - he’s just as dangerous as Trump, albeit for different reasons.
Kaine is doing better than some like Luntz and Andrew Sullivan are saying…Is this just the news media and bloggers hoping for a ding dong?
Luntz is a GOP shill. Sullivan is a gLibertarian knucklehead.
Didn’t watch. But Kaine certainly could have dinged Pence for Indiana with grounds. Maybe they didn’t want to do that and appear to be dumping on Indiana.
Carville just said, “I thought by the end that Pence was gonna’ start speaking in tongues.”
