With Rep. Gerry Connolly, what’s on the hip is on the lip.

Democrat Tim Kaine kicks off campaign for third term in US Senate, returning to adoptive hometown #Rva , where launch - he talks health care, climate, economy, abortion, Trump threat - is interrupted at least twice by anti-Israel protestors.

Can only imagine what @GovernorVa, having snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, makes of this deal. axios.com/local/washingt…

Victory has a thousand fathers. Defeat is an orphan - one that’s trashed, disparaged and, generally, kicked around.
