1. His policy positions are Hillary's policy positions.

That's how it works.


VP candidates do not go rogue.

2. They are solidly for a public option, is my understanding, is that correct?

Straight from HRC's website. Click on the individual issues and the sub-links to get to where you want to go.

Kaine will support these perspectives--that is how it works.

4. As Hillary's Vice President, not an loose cannon, so he reflects her policies.

Whatever positions he might have held prior to accepting the job of her Veep, is irrelevant now.

5. Hopefully the Dems support

Expanded military spending

7. What for?

9. A decent standard of living

For military members and their families.

[grahamhgreen]

10. There's plenty of money for that. We could save a fortune in blood and treasure by

ending our wars in the Middle East.

[TeddyR]

12. Which wars do you want to end?
