A week or two ago I predicted that Hillary Clinton would choose Virginia senator Tim Kaine for Vice President and tonight she did. I think he's the best choice. He'll help win his home state which will make it nearly impossible for Trump to win the election. He's a moderate Democrat, and speaks Spanish. He has one of the best resumes for a vp in recent history.
I guess she thinks Kaine is able . Safe pick for the Dems because now Terry McAuliffe gets to appoint a new Senator .
There was a time not too long ago that Kaine would've been the more conservative choice between him and Trump . But both of them stuck their finger in the political wind and strategically chose to slightly tack in different directions . Besides being a player in a battleground state ,Kaine brings some foreign policy experience that Evita lacks from his time on the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate.(sarcasm font) .
Liz Warren is pissed . All those attacks on Trump were for naught.
The deciding factor was when Kaine reassured Evita that he knew how to set up n internet server in the bathroom; and how to launder campaign donations through the Clintoon Foundation.
Elizabeth Warren knew she wouldn't make the cut. She'll fit in better elsewhere. A two-woman ticket would have lost to Carrot Top. And she'll continue to tweet.

IMO it is an unconstitutional agency ;and it is almost soley the brainchild of Warren. CFPB places legislative, executive and judicial power all in the same hands of a single person.....what James Madison called ‘the very definition of tyranny.’ In truth it limits availablilty of credit services to the folks . It treats us like we are incapable of making our own financial decisions .
Kaine is milquetoast ,an unimpressive figure selected so he won't overshadow Evita. That is why she selected him.
Kaine was a horrible and crooked Governor. Most people in VA were glad we have term limits.
Well then Dilliary and Kaine are well matched

He was apparently very popular as governor, he returned home from a trade mission in Japan after the Virginia Tech shooting and was universally praised. He was chairman of the DNC from 2009-2011 and was elected to the senate in 2012. It sounds to me like you just don't like him personally because he's a Democrat, I couldn't find any evidence to support your claim that he was horrible and crooked.Quote:

Tim Kaine. The same Tim Kaine who’s administration failed on virtually every one of their revenue projections. The same Tim Kaine who refused to audit VDOT while closing 11 rest areas around the Commonwealth while $1.5 BILLION sat idly in the coffers. The same Tim Kaine who tried to saddle Virginia with a $4.4 BILLION tax increase as he slunk out of Richmond in abject defeat. The same Tim Kaine who’s final budget received ZERO votes from anyone, Republican or Democrat.

Boy that's unbiased reporting, not surprised the repubs of Virginia would hate a Dem, even if he was a city councilman, mayor, Lt Gov, and presently US Senator. Not to mention former chair of the whole friggin Democratic Party.

Facts is the PREZ makes policy, not the VP, Cabinet (including Sec of State). VP is the backup for emergencies.
I live in Virginia and have for over 23 years... and I didn't know ANYONE here that liked him... so its not just me.Quote:

And the Current Gov. Terry McAuliffe is there only by illegal donations and other crooked tricks ( well known here in Virginia) which the Democrat party has proven time and time again...their motto is "By hook or by crook".
And that one rises to prominence in a particular party by less than savory means...and Why the RNC isn't fully behind Trump because HE hasn't "Paid his dues".....
Wikileaks has relased emails proving the DNC sabotaged Sanders bid for office just recently...showing proof the crookedness in politics.
One does not get into long term (in many cases life long) Elected offices for reasons of altruism. They do it from greed for what THEY can get for themselves...
The person who wants to get in, make a difference than get out...are the only ones who merit any trust...the ones who have done little or nothing else...are the ones to be most wary of...irregardless of party affiliation.
