Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech was as dynamic as we’ll ever hope to hear from her — so much so, that no one could be blamed for wondering whose dad wandered onto the stage looking for directions to the men’s room. Wait, isn’t that the guy who spoke the other night? Tim Kaine?
Fun fact: if you add Chelsea Clinton, Tim Kaine, and Hillary Clinton together you get enough personality to make half of a real person

Media reports confirm that Kaine was indeed not only present but also stood, clapped, and reacted to musical stimulation.
Tim Kaine is standing, clapping, and swaying to the music

Not only that: Kaine broke the ice for the other candidates and their spouses and headed straight for the balloons, signaling to Bill Clinton that it was OK to reach for some latex and have fun like the old days. It’s called the Democratic PARTY for a reason, people!

No one on earth has ever loved anything as much as Tim Kaine is loving those balloons.

Tim Kaine is as happy in those balloons as a kid in a Chuck E Cheez ball pit. #DemsInPhilly

Money on Tim Kaine hanging out until 3 am to play with / pop ALL of the balloons.

#timkaine kicking balloons off the stage like your #dad being chaperone at your prom.

Tim Kaine: Bill, you can play with one balloon all the way home in the car or two balloons now.

#TimKaine is totally gonna come back out and ask everyone to help out with cleaning up all these balloons before they leave.

Tim Kaine went to Party City and picked up all the confetti and balloons and guys he needs a hand in the driveway

Tim Kaine is going to make sure the balloons are cleaned up properly; gotta leave the arena clean for the next people. #DemConvention
