So Tim Kaine was going to make Virginia more D Leaning, but with his excellent spanish and path to citizenship and son in marines, is he also going to make Florida easier? Without Florida, there is no DT!

I think he'll be very useful in those states. Possibly Arizona too?

Not only is he spanish speaking, he also is catholic. Many catholic cuban americans in florida tend to vote republican. With Kaine on the ticket they may go our way especially given that the other ticket headed by trump is not exactly latino friendly.
