Tim Kaine Calls To Deregulate Banks As He Campaigns To Be Clinton�s VP [View all] Doctor Jack Jul 2016 OP

"A disaster for the ticket before he's even picked." nt villager Jul 2016 #1

Kaine will definitely push away more voters than he attracts. forest444 Jul 2016 #2

Absolutely. He will be a "nail in the coffin" pick for excluding a substantial swath of primary villager Jul 2016 #3

If he makes a difference, those people aren't committed to the Democratic cause. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #5

Huh? KPN Jul 2016 #13

If people don't vote because of Kaine, they aren't real Democrats. VP shouldn't be a deal-breaker. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #17

You already said that. KPN Jul 2016 #23

Someone who supports the party, even when their favored candidate doesn't win. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #27

OK. I will always support the Party so long as it represents KPN Jul 2016 #74

Of course you would say that. KPN Jul 2016 #24

No, someone saying they won't vote if the 'wrong' Veep is picked aren't real Dems. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #31

I am not sure he is the strongest choice awake Jul 2016 #32

Seems like you are arguing right now that KPN Jul 2016 #78

It's not about Kaine. It's about support being so fragile a 'boring' VP would dissuade you. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #80

BS ... either way. KPN Jul 2016 #85

He would be a middle 840high Jul 2016 #52

And demanding Hillary make you happy is a middle finger to her. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #67

I don't wat Hillary to 840high Jul 2016 #71

And that what be doing what she thinks gives her the best chance of winning. CrowCityDem Jul 2016 #72

Why would any of those people, assuming they're sane, rather see Trump elected than Hillary? pnwmom Jul 2016 #28

" Kaine will definitely push away more voters than he attracts." PragmaticLiberal Jul 2016 #46

Well, he is a blue dog Dem. There is that. KPN Jul 2016 #79

Yes he will. 840high Jul 2016 #50
