This is exactly the kind of crony capitalism that voters (R & D) are sick of and why Trump will be our next president. I guess I like Hillary's VP pick after all.

The more I'm hearing about Tim KainE the more I like him. He could step right in and be president if need be. Pretty much a VERY balanced individual and more.

Lots to offer the world as I'm seeing it.

Trump will NOT be our next president???!#$$#@##%##

I just saw that.

And while I understand why, being that they're in Florida right now ... that will give some people a push over to Trump and/or solidify the #neverhillary stance.

They might have done ok in Orlando, with a predominantly Puerto Rican latino population. But in Miami, which is predominantly conservative Cuban (tho there are other Latin Americans there too), they have an uphill battle to get votes, which they likely will lose. Cuban Americans don't want to hear from the party that cozied up to the Castros, and Kaine's Spanish will not help him one bit.

He also changed insurance for VA employees that only made things worse for the employees. THEN he just happens to end up on the board of directors for the insurance company he moved to.

Not that other politicians don't do similar stuff.

Default Tim Kaine

Tim Kaine will do what for Hillary? After reading the article, he doesn't seem like that impressive of a pick. Maybe everyone else she tapped said not in this lifetime.

I didn't realize Kaine was on Obama's short list in 2008. Wonder why Obama passed.

Again, as a Trump supporter, I couldn't be happier with her choice! Another "nail in the coffin" of the Clinton campaign.

I'm VERY happy with Hillary's choice of Tim Kaine! He's a very seasoned politician and is ready to be president on day ONE. He speaks Spanish fluently and has NEVER lost an election. He's a great speaker in general and has a nice, friendly personality. Clinton/Kaine!!!

I am equally happy about Tim Kaine as Hillary's VP. I also love Joe Biden so I don't question President Obama picking Joe either - I love them together. I also love Hillary and Tim Kaine together, they look great. Plus Tim Kaine plays a great harmonica and seems very very likable.

Plus he gives a great speech:

Holy crap. He killed it.
I’m not trying to spin you. I’m sitting here in shock. Shock. Tim Kaine was unbelievable.
