RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine says he'll seek re-election in 2018 but is ruling out a presidential bid in 2020.

The former Democratic vice presidential nominee said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that his decision is final.

They will run Booker — guaranteed. The conclusion the Dems have already come to is that they cannot win with a White person (man or woman) at the top of the ticket. And, really, they need a Black person. They are very reliant on Black turnout. Anything that would depress that needs to be avoided.

I really hope they go as far Left as Labor did in the UK. That will cement their status as a permanent minority party. Except in CA.

If we can break the blue wall of Fairfax County he could be unemployed
Just think of the advantages that would accrue if you could return part of Faifax back to the District of Columbia . . .

Tim, with your open marriage, you could be the first president to openly host other men having sex with your wife in the white house. You could make it an outreach opportunity for cuckolds, a horribly persecuted minority.

The 1804 election was the first one after the adoption of the Twelfth Amendment, when parties started having distinct candidates for President and Vice President. Since then only one unsuccessful Vice Presidential candidate has ever come back to win a Presidential election...Franklin Roosevelt, who was the Democrats’ VP candidate in 1920.

Tim, it’s not like you have a choice.
But thanks for keeping us in the loop.

They could both get in bed with other men ...

“They could both get in bed with other men ... “

Then they could, in Kaine’s words, be affirming themselves, not rejecting their spouse! I bet that’s a super affirmation in the Lincoln Bedroom.

So glad he made that announcement. I haven’t been able to fully able to concentrate on my life until I knew what Timmy was going to do.

How come I never hear about this salacious stuff? They have an open marriage? Maybe Bill persuaded Hill to choose this guy as her VP.

And is he a poofter?

He twittered when his wife told him she wanted an open marriage that he realized she wasn’t rejecting him but affirming herself.

Right.

That’s right; even Edmund Sixtus Muskie, whom the media said looked like Lincoln, couldn’t get nominated in 1972.

For a losing VP candidate even to be nominated for President is very rare...the only case in the past 160 years (apart from FDR) is Bob Dole, who was Ford’s running mate in 1976 before becoming the designated loser in 1996.
