I think Scott Adams has it right. Kaine was picked very specifically so as to not show up Hillary.


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

Donald Trump is not Warren Buffett?

If Warren Buffett ran for the presidency on a platform of tax reform, it wouldn't make sense to vote for the other person, who was advocating the opposite of what you wanted, based on the fact that Warren Buffett didn't personally volunteer his fortune to the IRS.

Hiring in visa'd workers is not volunteering one's fortune to the IRS?

Bernie made it pretty clear that separation of powers isn't taken seriously as a concept these days. 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

It's impressive just how many politicians fail this very simple test.

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.

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?
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.

It's an analogy.

Definitely not a good speech.

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

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.
