Smart move.

But, to each his or her own.

I think that she could pick Daffy Duck and people will still come out in droves to vote FOR her and AGAINST that madman who was on stage last night.

I respect who I choose to... And that independent thinking is a grand asset to have.

I don't feel people who vote for Kaine have.

PoC will not say it, but they won't like that pick. It would be too milquetoast. The case needs to be, who will excite the base - the base who have brung Hillary to the dance...and they were African Americans and Latinos. She needs to remember that as she carefully chooses her running mate.

In my honest opinion, Kaine makes presidential candidate Al Gore look exciting.

Do you honestly think they will vote for Rump or stay home and allow that bastard to be elected, because they think Kaine is "milktoast?" LMAO

Love Clintons progressive platform and am ready to fight.

If VP is this big of a deal to you, please look at Kaines full history next to that of Pence. Once again we are worlds apart from those pieces of shit. Kaine has negatives, positives, and if picked has agreed to sign onto Clintons progressive platform.

Over the VP pick.

My theory is that if you are swayed by a vp pick you were looking for a reason to bug out.

nothing will be expected of you but compliance. Should be fine if you're white and well off and straight and male and armed.


Seriously, you do what you want. Vote your conscience.

The rest of us will be on the front lines trying to stop a racist, militarist, misogynist, authoritarian fascist takeover. We will be a little busy to engage in your finer ideological arguments.
