Hillary Clinton wants to make one thing very, very clear: Tim Kaine was GREAT in Tuesday's vice-presidential debate. So good. The best. He might have, in fact, added his name to the list of the world's greatest debaters — right there alongside Abraham Lincoln, Socrates and Winston Churchill.
This is what's commonly known as overcompensating. Like if people say you are dumb, you try to wedge lots of big words into every sentence you write. That sort of sesquipedalianism is, of course, a tell for overcompensation.

The writer of this compost article is way too reserved.
Pence mopped the floor with Kreepy Klown Kaine.

I guess "Doing it for the kids" has now become "Doing it with the kids".

I thought she didn’t know how to use email. Or a phone. or a fax machine.
Are they sure it wasn’t sent by carrier pigeon?

What’s with Tim Kaine and the raised eyebrow all the time???
To: McGruff
Only after she sobered up this morning and watched it on her DVR.
By the time the debate started, she was probably out cold for the night.

HC will lie about anything.
No respect for an empty suit.
I still don’t know why anyone would vote for her unless they have no brains. I guess that is true of most rats.

Hillary to Timmy: ‘You did great at interrupting Mike. I might try that against Trump on Sunday. However, I believe the voters now know we don’t have anything except for talking points.’

What else can Hillary say, she picked this turkey. He was as creepy as creepy gets. He was everything they have been spewing about Trump. I have no doubt the rats all know Kaine was a major league flop.

Haha, I thought that was the funniest line of the night that Hillary EMAILED Senator Kaine her response to the debate. First thought was, how lame & inappropriate. Besides I thought she didn’t mix work & email?
