Vice President Joe Biden, after striding on stage to the theme from “Rocky,” spoke glowingly of candidate Hillary Clinton and managed for the most part to convince America that he should have run instead. Love or hate him, he was a hard act to follow.
Tim Kaine is an able, competent politician. But, man, after that Biden speech and the expectation of the Obama speech, he is overshadowed.

Overshadowed is a kind way of putting it.

Biden’s dynamic performance probably wasn’t the best lead-in for Tim Kaine, as pundits were more interested in his tie — and not because they liked it, either.
That tie.

Did he just finish up a leg as an airline steward and keep the tie? https://t.co/3HCNXWpaqU

Tim Kaine's tie a heavy-handed play for fashionably clueless dads everywhere.

Haven’t you heard? Normcore is hot right now with millennials, as is the dad bod. Kaine’s total lack of style is in style.
Dad-bod mannequin becomes VP nominee

What makes me think that the Kaine-Pence debate is going to be less than a barn-burner.

The Kaine/Pence debate will probably feel like an episode of Frasier.

The Tim Kaine – Mike Pence VP Debate might literally be the worst hour of television I the history of television.

The Kaine vs Pence debate might look like Suburban Catholic Dad argues with Suburban Evangelical Dad

Can't wait to watch the Tim Kaine-Mike Pence debate. It'll be like watching skim milk argue with almond milk #DemsInPhilly
— Jarrett Carlen (@JarrettGC) July 28, 2016
Pence vs. Kaine in the VP debate should be interesting. In the same way that watching paint dry in a jail cell is interesting. #p2
