Textbook Clintonian pick. Not too controversial; would make a good POTUS if something were to happen to Hillary, speaks Spanish fluently, and a very popular former mayor of the City of Richmond/governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia which is now a persistent swing state. On balance, he's a safe choice. He doesn't add to her tally of negatives.

Team Clinton/Kaine

Oh, well, he's good on women, gays and guns.

I'll take him.

Hillary should keep preaching about the top 1% [which she is in] and preaching about the dangers and horrors of income inequality...while in a $12,000+ jacket....hmmmm so out of touch with reality.



Also, how disgusting the DNC and Wasserman-Schultz behaved towards and treated Bernie is despicable. The system was completely rigged against him. They're all a bunch of nasty snakes.

Last night, Rachel Maddow interviewed three liberals, trying to get a feel for their opinion of Kaine. Cecile Richards and Joan Walsh were both 100% behind him. Only Ben Jealous had reservations, and he came across as a disgruntled Bernie Bro.

Michael Tomasky on the Daily Beast on why Time Kaine is good:

Has their prediction changed?

Kaine is wildly popular in VA among the traditional base and palatable to politically-closeted-Trump-hating-moderate-GOP-voters in northern VA. I'm confident he'll help the ticket bring VA back into the fold which will make FL a must-win for Trump. I recall your watching Maddow last night. Steve Kornacki, who's a helluva lot smarter than I'll ever be on the topic, broke down the path to 270 brilliantly.

ETA: At the end of the day, it all boils down to math. www.270towin.com puts it right out there in a way that I can understand. There are 85 winning combinations for Clinton-Kaine to 72 for Trump-Pence.

Responded already but thanks for sharing, DAME!

The general perception seems to be that after listening to his speech today, everyone is pretty much completely won over.

Tim Kaine, much to my surprise, has proven to be an excellent choice. And, as one friend said, "the wisdom of the choice only makes me feel more respect for the woman who made it."

Is Warren no longer speaking at all?

PalJoey said: "Here's the lineup! ... "



I'm surprised Kaine isn't listed. (Full lineup here: https://www.demconvention.com/event-categories/july-25/  Is that because they haven't updated the schedule since the announcement, or did he already cover all they needed him to say this afternoon?

Oprah and Warren aren't listed yet. Biden is on Wednesday.



And for those up above on this thread who questioned her commitment to police, this guy is speaking on Tuesday:



Joe Sweeney

Joe, of New York, NY, was a detective with the NYPD on September 11, 2001. When the towers were hit, he rushed down to the World Trade Center and began digging through the rubble for survivors.

Why aren't warren and Oprah listed yet? And where is kaine? Is he a late add on?
