Last night was not a gracious tea party. And Kaine had a very explicit job to do....he was to discredit Trump over and over and over so that viewers would not forget Trumps previous very ugly statements.....Pence was doing the same with Hillary.....

I have heard Kaine a number of times and he is normally gracious, funny and kind....his personal track record of public policy and professional endeavors and consistent charity (he is still providing support in the Honduras for that job training program he initially got off the ground) is the best I've seen in Congress....

This not beanbag....I think your wife is right in that Kaine was not comfortable or practiced in last nights behaviour....which really, he had to do

I think his lack of comfort bodes very well for the ticket and the country!
