Despite it drawing nowhere near the same levels of enthusiasm that other speeches drew in the 2016 Democratic National Convention (DNC) thus far, the “big three” networks of ABC, CBS, and NBC went into full spin mode late Wednesday hailing vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine’s personality as a “suburban dad” whose “extraordinary” Spanish-speaking skills made for “a Spanish lesson down here.”

ABC was undoubtedly the most amused by Kaine’s speech before President Obama as chief anchor and former Clinton administration official George Stephanopoulos gushed over the “rousing finish there for vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine, brought the crowd to its feet.”
