What Does Bernie Sanders Think Of Tim Kaine? He May Not Support Him
Charles Chamberlain, the executive director of Democracy for America released a statement on Thursday that suggested Kaine would not be a good pick, considering “his vote for fast track authority for the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership and this newly uncovered push for bank deregulation.”
Given Sanders’ calls to break up the banks and reform Wall Street, Kaine doesn’t seem like a likely contender for Sanders’ support, either.
Clinton already has work to do to gain support from Sanders supporters, and it doesn’t seem like Kaine would be the way to go, considering his support for the TPP and for deregulating banks. Though Kaine’s base in Virginia will certainly help the presumptive Democratic nominee in the swing state, a more progressive VP pick might have done well to bridge the gap between moderate Democrats and progressives.
A Bloomberg Politics poll from last month showed that nearly half of Americans who voted in support of Sanders’ campaign to rebuild the middle class, change the campaign financing system, break up financial institutions on Wall Street, and build a more socialized health care and education system will not support Clinton. It would seem that choosing a VP pick to secure that vote would be especially important to her campaign’s success.
Why does Tim Kaine tend to have that raised eyebrow when he speaks???
“Citizen” Kaine.
A microaggression against undocumented immigrants.
Gotta Love Trump! That mouth of his is going to keep Hillary’s head bobbing for the entire campaign.
How can we be discussing her veep pick? She had a myoclonic seizure on Tv! She has epilepsy! Does this disqualify her, or not? Will she be honest with America about it, or not? If not, as I greatly believe, doesn’t that mean she will never be honest with us about ANYTHING?
How can she be heading into a convention for nomination when she has an illness that would prevent her from driving a car???????
This is major.
Ouch! What a picture.
That look on Corrupt Kaine’s face is one of holding back the urge to burst out crying “what have I got myself into?”
Crooked Hillary’s expression is”as long as this jerk keeps his mouth shut, he won’t wind up dead like Vince!”
Given Kaine was just pushing for change in banking regs that leftists hate, how is someone like Warren going to campaign for him? How will Bernie supporters vote for them? The pic seems more likely to help pick up NeverTrump voters than Bernie voters.
That video is inconclusive. I don’t trust it as an indication of a seizure disorder.
Kaine has that shifty used car salesman look.
Note to Wills Robinson: Punctuation is your friend.
Did they TEACH you in journ-o-lism school to NOT use commas or periods; or did you pick that up all on your own?
Somebody should flash a strobe light and she will go into an epileptic fit. Even then the low info gimnedat voters will still vote for her and of course all the dead people will stiil vote for her.
That’s what I’m talkin bout.
CORRUPT KAINE
