I admit I was a bit underwhelmed when Hillary Clinton announced Tim Kaine would be her running mate, but his speech today in Miami was absolutely great, and did a lot to allay my reservations. Here’s the full video; Kaine starts speaking at about 16:50 if you can’t wait and want to skip ahead.
But hey maybe I’m the only one who cares #DNCLeak is a domestic attack by a foreign government to change an election. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I sat down and watched this entire rally earlier. I’m sold.
Didn’t know anything about Kaine until yesterday, but the more I read about him, and after watching him speak today, Hillary made a fantastic choice with him. He’s warm, relatable, and comes across as genuine and earnest. His background is impressive too. I like him.
I’ve been hearing nothing from concern-trolling since yesterday about how Kaine isn’t the guy the party needed to win over progressives, how they’re going to be the lynchpin to the party’s hopes to retake Congress, and how Hillary should have gone with Warren or Brown.
My response to that is that Kaine is the guy progressives need, not the one they wanted. Just looking at the way the GOP is scrambling to find something to hit Kaine with shows that they were not really prepared for taking on a VP nominee who has built a solid record of accomplishment without major controversy. When their leading line of attack is he took tickets to a basketball tournament, you know they’ve got nothin’.
I like the moment at 39:33 where he turns around to Hillary and says ‘This is fun!’

They just saw moderate former Virginia governor and didn’t bother actually learning about the man. They didn’t bother looking at his start as a civil rights lawyer in Richmond, then his role as mayor improving racial relations and the economic situation in that city, and the great job he’s done here as Lt Governor and Governor. They also fixated on the personal pro life bit but ignored that he never interfered with women’s health here as governor. He’s a good pick. I’m glad that many people here have realized a lot of their reservations were unfounded.
This pick for me anyway is a mark of her confidence she can beat Trump. Not to sell this man short, I mean to say no extraordinary measure, no adjustment was required to answer what Trump has done so far. This pick is her read of us the voters not Trump the opponent.

He’s another from the Biden tradition. I have to admit I didn’t see it before today but he’s alot like Joe in the sense that he’s a people person who sees his place in politics as a role to help people. They’re both fairly regular guys too. Kaine always to me as a Virginia voter felt more relatable than Mark Warner did.
Building bridges not walls is a good zinger. Works well in this sound bite era.
And she is so right about Kaine not only sharing the values but living them. As already posted, he attends a predominately African-American Catholic congregation.
A nice contrast to bring up him fighting for housing equality while Trump got in trouble for racial discrimination in housing.

Not trying to concern-troll, I am genuinely curious. I know that participating in political activity while in uniform is a super-duper no-no. How does it work if you’re up on stage and your dad is utilizing your service for political gains? Okay because you’re not on duty and you’re not yourself in uniform or portraying the activity as being carried out as part of your official duties, I am guessing?

predominantly. Sorry, I see that a lot and it drives me nuts! :-)
re: #11 Charles Johnson
This is one thing that made the Trump convention very different. The Trump Camp was totally indifferent to the platform. So party activists were able to write one of the most conservative platforms in history. Not with Trump’s backing but because he simply didn’t care. With one big exception: Trump’s team mobilized the nominee’s traditional mix of cajoling and strong-arming on one point: changing the party platform on the assistance to Ukraine against Russian military operations in eastern Ukraine.

re: #12 HappyWarrior
Exactly. I think that hits the nail on the head. He’s not as flashy or as firey as Warren or Brown could have been, but he’s extremely pragmatic, and he’s arguably the best strategic choice; Warren and Brown are from conservative states, and need to stay in the Senate.

I don’t think that is true. I think he can bring in the wavering blue collar workers, can be very effective with the Hispanic vote (GOTV). He is the type that has almost universal appeal. Maybe even with a stray republican or two.
Maybe she would have these votes anyway, but I think he can make the difference on election day bringing them to the polls.
I do not believe Hillary thinks this election is in the bag. Not now anyway.
The old saying: There are only two ways to run a campaign, you are either running scared or you are running unopposed, applies here.

Personally, I think it’s fair to say that Warren is the person that the GOP wanted to run against. They wanted to paint her a liar, they wanted to paint her as inexperienced, they wanted to slag her with “SOCIALIST!!!” for the next three months, but most importantly they wanted to scare people with a two-woman ticket being “too much progress too quickly.”
Kaine wasn’t a pick necessarily to beat Trump. They’re thinking long game. He’ll probably be a great VP and could easily move to POTUS.
But fuckin A they need to win. Trump is already a disaster: as POTUS he’d cause immense damage.

Scott Brown only won because he was a fairly popular state senator and there was very low turnout for the special election. The republicans in MA don’t have a very deep bench. There are 6 total republican state senators and none of them has the charisma of a wildabeast.

It’s again the contrast with Obama and McCain/Romney. Obama chose a running mate that he felt could definitely step in and do the job and Clinton did the same thing here with Kaine. He’s a seasoned professional. He was winning state wide elections even when this state’s electorate was more conservative than it is now.

That’s a great article:
Interesting takeouts for me:
After Kaine was picked he called Bernie Sanders.
and this:
And the president never hid how much he liked Kaine—eight years ago when he was on Obama’s shortlist, David Axelrod remembers the Virginia senator telling him and David Plouffe, “I’m flattered to be considered, but if I were Barack, I wouldn’t pick me. We’re too much alike.”
Kaine later made the same point directly to Obama. “We’re the same person,” he joked. And not just because both their mothers were from El Dorado, Kansas.Read more: politico.com

SRSLY? Talk about your “Heartland” connections….
Yeah, apparently he joked that when Obama was vetting him that he was flattered but him and Obama are the same person because of that. That one was pretty interesting actually. I knew both their moms were from Kansas but not the same town.
I don’t know if I’m getting manic the older I get, the hyper connectivity to current events, or just the cycle. But it seems things are more dynamic: people dying at the hands of police, police being shot, horrific mass shootings, a fascist GOP candidate… and the GOP candidate is an immense clown that makes me laugh, Milo getting booted off Twitter, now Kaine looking like a really solid move.
Everything just seems extreme right now. Very high and very low.
I might have to stuff some extra pineapple pizza in my piehole to make it all better.

I believe their entire campaign will be run in contrast to what we saw at the convention last week.
Trump’s pitch wasn’t ‘Morning in America.’ It was more like ‘It’s 2AM and the power just went out.’

Honest to christ, Jim laid out the man’s whole backround and all they can do is bitch and then add, “more will be revealed”. Looks like I get to unfollow liberals now too. These Fucking People…..
Expect 8+ years of this whining. The 30-years of Hillary Hate propaganda settled in very deeply in a lot of people, not just RWNJs.
re: #112 Targetpractice
The difference is that Kaine fought within the boundaries of the law and worked to make it happen. Sanders thinks if you hang enough bankers from lampposts, prosperity will flow and the weak will become the strong.
The point he makes is that Kaine has spent his career living the kind of things that Bernie only talks about but the former is considered a progressive hero and the latter is seen as an establishment stooge. Honestly, I’m more impressed with Kaine than I was before. I’ve always liked him as you know but the more I learn, the more I really like him and am glad to see that he’s getting another promotion.

The Bros were never going to be happy. If Hillary had nominated Warren, they would have found a reason to bitch. Or just openly started praying for Hillary’s death in office so that Warren could take power.

re: #109 HappyWarrior
From Stonekettle’s article:
Look here, as a lawyer, Kaine spent two decades representing poor people who had been discriminated against in housing and employment based on race and disability. He won landmark cases and changed the law regarding fair housing, employment, and representation for minorities - and a lot of that was pro bono.That’s the kind of thing Sanders talks about regularly, isn’t it? Kaine didn’t just talk about it, he did it.
BUT BERNIE GOT ARRESTED!!11!!!

Oh and if Clinton had chosen Warren, they’d damn well make some claim that she did it to remove her as an obstacle from the Senate so “Shllary could get her neo-liberal way.” I’ve about it had it with that element of the left. They don’t speak for me. They don’t actually seem to want to make things better. They just care about ideological purity rather than working on policies to make this a better place to live for everyone.

If Warren had been Hillary’s pick, the immediate sentiment would have been that it was her “reward” for MA. That she’d stabbed Bernie, the “true progressive,” in the back at Hillary’s orders and this was her payment. Rather than being the beacon for progressives to flock to the ticket, it would be seen as the final insult that forever tainted Warren in their eyes.

I am waiting for mine to do so. He just has a bad vibe about Clinton. I love him, he’s my brother obviously but I think he was drawn to Bernie for all the wrong reasons and wasn’t really thinking about what the job actually entails. In the end though, I’m glad that he’s disgusted by Trump. I just hope he knows that a woman president will be a great example for his little girl.

Yeah that too. I liked the idea that Warren owned Sanders her support in Massachusetts. It was like yeah because Bernie did so much to get Warren elected and he’s done so much for her and other progressive Democrats. That’s what I think I tried getting through to my bro when he complained about the SDs. I explained nicely to him that Bernie doesn’t seem to value getting other like minded people elected and that’s not a quality we should want in our nominee.

It’s again the contrast with Obama and McCain/Romney. Obama chose a running mate that he felt could definitely step in and do the job and Clinton did the same thing here with Kaine. He’s a seasoned professional. He was winning state wide elections even when this state’s electorate was more conservative than it is now.

Up where I am in CA, we don’t have to worry about wildfires quite as much as down south. It’s probably going on 7 years now the last time we really had the smoke strongly affect us from one, but I remember how the light was all tinged eerily red. It was a very apocalyptic vibe.

I sure hope it won’t, but people are stupid about some things.
Well, I went into chessbase.com’s 7 million plus chess game database to see any chess games Chuck C played since he claimed to be a chess champion.
According to what I see in the database search, Chuck C’s rating floats around 1800-1890 which is hardly the performance of a chess master. He’s closer to a class “B” player.
One of these days he’s going to lay hands on someone the wrong way, and get paid back 50-fold. That will be the end of his career as a creep-on-the-street stalker. I hope the cameras are rolling for that.
The spouse is pointing out to me that one of the memorable things about the Obama administration is how amazing it’s been to have a formidable four-person team in action at the White House. We have the VP as a vital partner and backup for POTUS, able to step in and represent us both home and abroad. We have a First Lady AND a Second Lady who each have offices and initiatives, and they have a great working partnership.
Will be interesting to watch how the dynamics will grow with the Clintons and the Kaines. And it will be wonderful if the Obamas and the Bidens keep working with the new team, so we can keep Joe on the Cancer Moonshot and Michelle & Dr. Jill working with the military families. And the Let’s Move campaign!
Will also be fun to see if the Clintons keep the White House garden and the brewery going.

I hope you’re right.
also, the fact that trump got through the primary (this primary actually) and got the nomination is a cautionary tale. maybe. primary dynamics being a whole different game
so yeah he “could” win because he’s one of two running. after the convention as things start to settle down, the contrast between the two teams will be striking.
platitudes, platforms, demonizing, lying and all that will still occur mostly from one side
then people have to start to do the head to head competency comparison thing. i think it’ll be stark.

It sounds like the Sandbaggers got a pledge to eliminate the superdelegates who are not elected officials… contingent on a later DNC vote. Which should be scheduled for the Twelfth of Never.
Edit: Here’s the Washington Post writeup:
According to the new rules, approved by a vote of 158 to 6, Democrats will appoint a Unity Commission of 21 members “no later than 60 days” after the general election, chaired by Clinton supporter Jennifer O’Malley Dillon and vice-chaired by Sanders supporter and former Communications Workers of America president Larry Cohen. That commission would report by Jan. 1, 2018, and get a vote on its proposals by the next meeting of the Democratic National Committee, long before the 2020 primaries.

I’d taken it for granted that any pol from Delaware had to have multiple Swiss and offshore bank accounts filled to the brim with Dow Chemical and Limited Liability HQ money.
