He's just likeable and happy, and has solid experience. Safe choice.

The fact that he outright stated it and people cheered hurt my soul. Maybe it isn't take seriously because it's a fantasy? What exactly do you think it is other than the founding myth of an apolitical, utopian America? It's an ideal that comes from a bunch of deist hyper-rationalists who, in elevating the divine law of Reason, confused their lawmaking with something like the divine violence of Benjamin. You can't take the politics out of the decisions, it doesn't matter who the judge is. Separation of powers has always been a joke since Andrew Jackson, and arguably John Adams

Kaine was better on Saturday, seems a little off right now
|
Kaine is very personable which is something Hillary's ticket greatly benefits from. It goes a long way to help humanize her I can see why he was picked. He's so ordinary he's realistic.
|
This guy is a bit of a muppet

I understand why Hillary picked Kaine, and I don't think that he is necessarily a bad choice. But it clearly is a pick driven largely by Hillary's own limitations. Kaine doesn't really complement Hillary or add anything to the ticket.

This is fucking terrible. Why are they talking about Trump?

That's good and legitimate line of attack.

Because he's the opposing candidate.

Speaking of which, which candidate says no to a deal where Trump has to release tax returns and Hillary has to release speech transcripts?

I think Kaine is much better VP than Pence
but we'll see for sure in their debate I guess

Which candidate in modern history says no to releasing his tax returns?

All this does is set Trump up for a press conference tomorrow responding to this buffoonery.

I think the Believe Me line of attack is pretty clever when compared against situations where he blatantly lied. Plays on an emotionally level, which the Democrats need. #NotOneWord is easy to run with.
