The point of Obama's speech-remember Kaine was Obama's choice-is not solely ideological. <br /><br />It's' not the Holy War for progressive values some on the Left want. <br /><br />Kaine is a progressive-he's very strong on the Social Gospel-but he's someone who also has a lot of friends and well wishers on the GOP side in Congress. <br /><br />The Dem convention is a reach to the middle too, not just a progressive version of Ted CruzMike Saxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360689916550576484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-59752318595643777672016-07-28T09:57:52.765-07:002016-07-28T09:57:52.765-07:00John Oliver on Colbert last night made fun of Tim ...John Oliver on Colbert last night made fun of Tim Kaine. And D. L. Hughley said his speech was "boring as shit" which made Maher laugh on his show. I actually liked his speech though, and I didn't think he was boring. A little low key perhaps, but that's part of what I like about him. Looking at the headlines he gets mixed reviews. I think he's going to grow on people though. Bill's conservative guest liked Kaine.<br /><br />One thing that Oliver (who made fun of Kaine for entirely too long IMO, but at least he wasn't super mean about it) said was pretty funny though: he said he (Oliver) is now a "Kainiac."<br /><br />I actually am a Kainiac come to think of it.Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-20181465377691958852016-07-28T09:43:55.612-07:002016-07-28T09:43:55.612-07:00And Neil Stevens explains why it's better for ...And Neil Stevens explains why it's better for Republicans for Trump to lose:<br /><br />http://www.redstate.com/neil_stevens/2016/07/28/trumps-path-victory-america-will-follow-lead/<br /><br /><i>That's his path to victory, and that's why he must lose. That's why America is better off if he loses. If he wins, then we'll have two left-wing parties in America, and conservatives will have no vehicle, and no voice, to stand athwart socialism and cronyism. If he loses, at least we have a chance to pick up the pieces and resume our fight to Make DC Listen.</i>Tom Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654184190478330946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6480818427597300387.post-54607827786504912682016-07-28T09:40:45.723-07:002016-07-28T09:40:45.723-07:00BTW, that also explains why he'll never vote f...BTW, that also explains why he'll never vote for HRC (he's strongly anti-abortion and he goes to church on Sunday).
