Clinton’s VP Pick
Scott Adams' Blog ^ | 7-23-16 | Scott Adams

Posted on 07/23/2016 4:47:42 PM PDT by Hugin

Yesterday Hillary Clinton announced her VP running mate, Tim Kaine. Let me tell you how that decision looks from a persuasion standpoint. I’ll ignore Kaine’s education, experience, political preferences, and anything else that voters say they care about but don’t. Today, let’s just talk about how people will feel about it.

TIMMY !

(think South Park)

I was always mocking him when he was Gov. by saying TIMMY! (in TIMMY’s voice) everytime he was on the TV, so my son got me a South Park TIMMY! figure.

Best paragrah:

"Clinton will probably win the vote of women. Her problem is men. If you ask a man why he doesn’t like Hillary Clinton, he might say something about her policies and her history. But the persuasion filter says the real reason men don’t like Clinton is that they can’t stand listening to her. Her speaking style reminds men of every bad relationship they have ever had with a woman. We’re all irrational sexists on some level, and Clinton sounds to many male ears like a disgruntled ex-wife, or perhaps your mom who had a really bad day. That’s a problem if you need the male vote."

I think this pick shows just how spooked they are about Trump, though they'll never admit it. They forsook any of the usual radical suspects for an attempted run towards the center. I don't think that was in the original game plan - if they would have had a designated loser they were expecting there probably wouldn't have been near the concern about the VP, but since there is some real competition this time around they had to whoa up and come up with someone more palatable - and also connected, 2nd consideration is the real possibility that Hilly's health finally goes kaput - there's gotta be someone capable enough to take the reins and keep the agenda moving.

I live in Richmond and have been watching Tim Kaine since he was Mayor. He is not capable. It’s a wonder to me how he got to be Gov. and Senator.

“It’s a wonder to me how he got to be Gov. and Senator.”

Marrying the daughter of the “Big Daddy” of Richmond, for openers? Think John Fing Kerry., with fewer morals.

Hillary Clinton has promised to be Barack Obama in a pantsuit, which means the downward trend will continue as the Democrat practice of “Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing, Blame Others” goes on*

Or a balding man with overgrown eyebrows, yellow teeth with long dog teeth. Some should take CANE ( I refuse to spell his name any other way) to the groomer. Buy him clothes that fit while they are at it!

Bottom line, he’s not as good looking as Pence.

I remember when we all used to mock him. Called him “The Eyebrow”. Someone had a gif that was hysterical.
