We should ask John Tyler’s grandsons what they think. Two are still living. Really. Look it up.

Yup. And that’s why she’s parroting Cruz’s “vote your conscience” BS. I wonder if they coordinated that during their flight together in Air Force One with Obama and Jarrett

I have known him since he was in his twenties. A complete dork. When he ran against Jerry Kilgore for governor his ads suggested that Kilgore was gay since he didn’t speak in his own ads and had an announcer instead. Some would suggest that Kilgore may have “sounded “ gay if his had talked in the ads himself. What a guy!

Picking him ensures that many blacks, latinos and socialists will sit out.

Totally agree. A net negative for Hillary plus Pence should do well with Kaine in the VP debate.

Any Virginia FReepers have inside information/history on Kaine? Let's research the hell out of him. This is War!

LMAO. Yes, a lot of “Red Label” will be consumed over the next few months, I am sure. Even more should The Shrew get elected.

So out of the vast and diverse universe of Democrats, Hillary thought the best of the bunch was a boring, old, presumably straight, Southern, white man. This pick laughs in the face of Hillary’s constituencies, real and aspirational:
Women.
African Americans.
Hispanics.
Bernie’s old lefties.
Bernie’s youthful lefties.
Other anti-Wall Street lefties.
The entire country except the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.

What it gains her:
More Wall Street money to waste?
Cash from Terry MacAuliffe for moving Kaine out of his way?
A better chance at Virginia’s electoral votes (without Obama’s coattails, it’s not clear that Kaine can carry his home state.
Someone with experience as a governor in a state where governors have relatively little power, and as mayor of Richmond.
Someone who has done even less than Hillary with a Senate seat, where Kaine has been practically invisible.
Kaine’s foreign policy, military, anti-terrorism, and economic experience=? Er, next question...

I have to assume all other her other choices turned her down or had too much provable baggage.

And why announce this now, taking away the slightest glimmer of interest from their convention?

It wasn’t Warren or Booker or Bernie. Those were her winning moves.

LOL

It looks like Hillary Clinton had reservations about choosing Elizabeth Warren as her running mate.— Aleister (@AmericanGlob) July 23, 2016
