Presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton has Pokemon GO fever, mentioning the widely popular game during a rally with Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine on Thursday in which bashing Donald Trump was the primary focus.
“I’m trying to figure out how we get them to have Pokemon GO to the polls,” Clinton joked.
Kaine joined Clinton on the campaign trail to attack Trump in what many insiders considered a tryout for the Democratic vice president gig. Kaine, who is known as a safe, mild-mannered V.P. choice, spent a lot of time taking digs at Trump, drawing large applause from the crowd.

“Do you want a ‘You’re Fired’ president or a you’re hired president?” Kaine asked. “”Do you want a trash-talking president or a bridge-building president?”
Kaine even spoke Spanish during the rally in his home state of Virginia.
The Democratic National Convention starts July 25 in Philadelphia and Clinton is expected to select her running mate prior to the event.
“Everything Tim said is absolutely on the mark,” Clinton said following Kaine’s speech. “We are stronger together when we set goals for America.”

Here are some Twitter reactions to Kaine’s wise cracks.
Tim Kaine in full blown VP audition right now in VA. The infamously "nice guy" is going after Trump pretty hard right now.

Notable: @timkaine breaks into Spanish. Subtle way to remind Clinton that he's the only contender who's fluent in the language.

Tim Kaine nearly speaks as much Spanish as English in opening remarks at NoVa CC in Annandale VA
