MIAMI (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump took a shot Wednesday at Hillary Clinton's running mate, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine, for doing a terrible job as governor of New Jersey.
The problem, of course, is that Kaine was governor of Virginia.
Her running mate, Tim Kaine, who by the way, did a terrible job in New Jersey," Trump said at a news conference in Miami. "He was not very popular in New Jersey, and he still isn't."
Trump might have confused Kaine with former Republican New Jersey Gov. Tom Kean, pronounced the same as Kaine. Kean led the state from 1982 to 1990 while Trump was building his casino empire in Atlantic City. Kaine was governor of Virginia from 2006 to 2010.
New Jersey also might have been on Trump's mind because its current governor, Republican Chris Christie, was among Trump's finalists for the vice presidential nod that ultimately went to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Well I’m voting for Clinton now, sorry Donald. That you could forget who Kaine is, inexcusable sir. Kaine is a guy we know is destined to end up on Mt. Rushmore.
what difference does it make?
Kaine is boring and is a non-factor
OMG! The horror! He should immediately step down!
The media is getting desperate.
Slip of the tongue. Democrats, of course, never do this.
Well that settles it, for me!
Waaah! I’m writing in Jeb!
He must have been thinking of Christie...
What difference does it make?
I heard it and he correceted himself. Ridiculous that this is considered news.
Another ploy to grab headlines.
There was a governor Tom Kane of NJ.
Oh my, this is really, really bad..........
OMG!!! The disaster of it all!!! He’s going to fall now, everyone knows if you can’t remember the most minute item, you can’t be POTUS....ROFL...how stupid...
Oh no!
He was having an Obama moment.
As soon as he said “NJ” during the presser, I thought, “oh great, the MSM will latch onto this.”
This is the stupid gotcha crap people are sick of. I know I am, from either side. Yes, even when it’s “our” side against the ObeyMes.
Yeah, maybe he said it because Trump barely knows the guy. It’s an insult to him, not a slip.
Corpseman, 57 states, speaking Austrian.
Wasn’t there a former governor of New Jersy named Keane? Keane, Kaine, who cares. Trump give a press conference almost everyday. Cankles has not given a press conference in six months. No wonder she does not get names and places mixed up in press conferences.
