Hillary wanted a running mate who would look small and unaccomplished next to her. Kaine fit the bill.
If the pollsters had asked people to name Kaine’s accomplishments as Virginia’s senator, without any sort of prompting, how many would have been able to answer at all?
Trump needs to figure out a way to get out the vote in Virginia’s hinterlands, where the Republican live (hint we’re not in the urban ghettoes). The VA GOP will be no help in that.
If Hillary loses Virginia, Kaine will be the second guy to get his body dumped in Ft. Marcy Park.
He was out in western Va a couple of weeks ago. Big crowds I believe were reported, probably a revisit is a good idea.
