Looks like Shillary's VP pick is Kaine.

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

Does he excite the base of the lib party? He comes off as a buffoon to me. But then again, that did not hurt Obama & Biden.

But I find it funny to hear the democrats talk about how Pence didn't move the needle for Trump. Trump needed to pick someone to unify the base, and Pence does that. What does Kaine do for Shillary?

He's a white male, that was the only real criteria. Other than that, he's pretty bland. Not sure if there was a better pick out there, who would agree to be her VP. I'm guessing the VP pool was not big.

he's from a swing state and speaks spanish.

its a bad choice imo. warner would have been a better choice. but maybe he is not interested.

Clinton is desperate to put someone likable on the ticket, since her negatives are through the roof. Kaine is perceived as "affable", and is pretty far out on the left wing, which they may believe will help with Bernie supporters.

My first thought at this news is Hillary's campaign thinks Trump's speech was great too.

You can probably count the number of people that Hillary actually trusts on one hand.

Kaine's best attribute is probably that he knows how to keep his mouth shut.

Matt Drudge has an extensive archive of pictures that make Hillary look like a crazed lunatic.
