If the national legislature did grant him the authority and he tried to do it, the states could sue like they did regarding the Affordable Care Act. I wasn't really speaking if he can do it himself, more if he can ask the state to do some policy, not force them to do it, just ask them like in a speech and expect a response for the governor. More of a influence, legitimate power-balance thing. | ||

I don't know, I think I'd prefer either one over the top of their respective ticket any day. | ||

You are right to be upset with the left though, because traditionally it would be a liberal principle to push to remove such loopholes. I don't think anyone is claiming that anyone just now found out that these things happen. Like I said though, the left hasn't just sat on their hands, they've actively made it worse. If they aren't just finding it out, than why should anyone believe they are actually upset and not just pointing out the bad optics of something they helped create without taking any responsibility? | ||

Kaine doesn't have the charisma of Pence, and his interrupting looks bad. | ||

Also one reason why you won't here any critique on absurd religious stuff from Pence come from Kaine. | ||

pence has worse material to work with having to cover trump, but he's doing a better job overall. nothing of real use on policy. | ||

You're conflating voters with politicians, and an arbitrary ideological group with a political party. It's dumb, please stop. | ||
