Democrats Hastily Nominate Tim Kaine For VP To Avoid Boos

PHILADELPHIA — Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine is now officially the Democratic vice presidential nominee, but party officials intentionally rushed the formal proceedings here at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday to avoid the boos and protests of Bernie Sanders supporters.

“The chair will entertain a motion to suspend the rules and nominate Tim Kaine by acclamation as the vice presidential candidate of the Democratic Party,” said Ohio Rep. Marcia Fudge, who took over as chairman of the Democratic National Convention after the ouster of Debbie Wasserman Schultz this week. “Is there a second?”

“All in favor of the motion to suspend the rules and nominate by acclamation Tim Kaine as the Democratic party’s vice presidential candidate, please say aye,” Fudge said to both applause and protests.

After having deemed the measure passed, Fudge continued talking as some in the crowd could be heard protesting and demanding an actual roll call vote of all the delegates. The music inside the convention hall was then turned up to drown out the protests.

Someone needs to hack the sound system inside the Wells Fargo Center and start playing some Ted Nugent.

They’re just ramming Hillary down everyone’s throats, and they don’t give a damn who knows it.

Pure totalitarianism.

Slow Joe’s head & face are pumped so full of Botox that his high, smooth forehead is shining, and he can’t open his thin mouth wide enough to get out the words without slurring them. A snootful, too, perhaps?
