Tim Kaine continues Hillary Clinton’s tradition of bad, terrible jokes.

Early in the Sept. 26 presidential debate, Hillary Clinton rolled out what seemed to be a rehearsed line about Donald Trump’s economic plan, calling it “Trumped-up trickle down economics.” She delivered the phrase with the pleased demeanor of someone who believes they are laying down a devastating burn, then repeated it later. Fact-check: It wasn’t a devastating burn. It was a zero out of 10 on the burn scale.

Tuesday night at the vice presidential debate, Tim Kaine also tried some zingers, and they were also bad. You can see them above. The first:

Mike Pence: But there’s a reason why people question the trustworthiness of Hillary Clinton and that’s because they’re paying attention. The reality is when she was secretary of state, senator, she had the Clinton Foundation accepting contributions from foreign governments—

Tim Kaine:You areDonald Trump’s apprentice!

Woooooooooooof. The second:

Kaine: On the economy, there’s a fundamental choice for the American electorate. Do you want a you’re hiredpresident in Hillary Clinton or a you’re firedpresident in Donald Trump? I don’t think that’s such a hard choice.

Ugh.

Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine need to Pokémon GoFire Whoever Thinks It’s a Good Idea to Use Time Preparing for Debates by Coming Up With These Lines, Which Are Terrible.
