Kaine and Unable
American Thinker ^ | July 24, 2016 | Doris O'Brien

Posted on 07/24/2016 8:57:50 AM PDT by Kaslin

Most pundits consider Tim Kaine a safe, if boring, vice presidential running mate for Hillary Clinton. For those who truly understand the frontrunner, Kaine is an apt pick. Like Mike Pence, he is not exceptionally attention-grabbing. Neither of them has to be. The two top dogs in the race already have all the deep-throated growl they need.

Kaine has been operating in the political arena for over 22 years. He has an all too familiar "insider" résumé that tracks his career moves through various levels of state, party, and federal government. He is being touted by Democrats as someone who at times disagreed – but respectfully! – with President Obama, the objective being to paint him as his "own man" with potential appeal for independents. But those in the know recognize that Hillary, as president, would never brook disagreement from anyone.

At a time when our citizens' level of distrust for government is at an all-time high, those seeking office are wisely reformatting their résumés. The predictable trajectory of public servants must now avoid the scornful appearance of their being political insiders. Hence the attempt to paint Kaine as a conciliator, who as governor of Virginia in 2007 used the Virginia Tech massacre to spearhead mental health reforms. They picture him as a compassionate law student who learned to speak Spanish while working for a year with Jesuits in Honduras. Hillary cited his long-ago pro bono efforts on behalf of minorities. On the other hand, his acceptance of gifts from favor-seeking constituents has understandably been omitted from the Kaine rollout.

Kaine just called for the deregulation of banking which makes him a zombie shill for the globalist fascist banker oligarchy- these peckerwoods:

I'm wondering if it isn't yet another decision caused by hillary's extremely bad analytic skills. Trump knew that as an outsider, he needed an insider with a solid record of accomplishment and integrity to be regarded as a viable candidate.

hillary, as the ultimate insider with lots of sleazy financial baggage, should've chosen an outsider with an impeccable record for trust and honesty in this year of discontent.

Really? Trump certainly does, but Hillary has to hide from press conferences.

But why would someone with an impeccable record for trust and honesty want to associate themselves with her?

Let’s create a list of Kaine’s top ten greatest accomplishments in office.
Based on the article:
1) Exploited mass murder.
2) Got some nice gifts.
3) ?

Kaine is the ultimate DNC insider, which is why Hillary picked him. Oops — This election cycle is about tearing the insiders away from the trough.

Does anyone think he is the replacement for when Hitlery’s ailments and criminal actions become too irrefutable?

They gotta think ahead.

Even if she can avoid indictment she cannot avoid public tar.

From what list of Democrats will you find that candidate?

re: the dems choosing an outsider with an impeccable record of trust and honesty

It doesn't sound possible, but if they chose an outsider they probably could've found someone. The point is, they chose an ultimate insider to run with hillary. How arrogant is that?

——hillary, .... should’ve chosen an outsider -—

That assumption includes the thought that there is an outsider who would have accepted her offer. Only a fool would agree to be on her ticket. No fool accepted
