People need to read up on his past.

He sent his kids to majority black schools.

Learned Spanish when going om a Jesuit mission in Honduras.

People are a quick to discredit a white man just because of being a white man. But cmon people, Kaine is pretty empathetic towards other people.

He's against animal rights and likes torturing kittens and puppies.

He's a solid pick. I wonder how many people are going to read headlines and think of him as "another white man who wants to deregulate banks." I wonder how much mileage the Trump campaign will get out of that one.

 

[B-Dubs]

With his resume I'd be really surprised that he didnt appear in the primaries this cycle except for that Hillary probably strongly hinted at him winning this job right from the jump

Hillary (and Obama) scared off pretty much everyone who could have given it a try this cycle. That's why the field was so small.

tim kaine, extremely strung out on heroin, awkwardly mumbles the lyrics of stone temple pilots - days of the week on the dnc stage. after being ushered off, hillary clinton announces BOTH julian castro AND elizabeth warren as dual VPs. then she is arrested for emailgate and sanders becomes the nominee.

this is NOT fanfiction. this is fanfact.

The real election hasn't even started yet, sheeple

 

[thestopsign]

I recommend watching his current speech/the Florida rally with Hillary. He is doing great.

 

[Majine]

He seems very genuine.

 

[VendettaRed07]

D.VA dominating rn

 

[Blood Diamonds]

Read that article that was posted way earlier in the thread, he doesn't seem bad at all.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Like everything Hillary related people think she's doing it wrong but she got it right.

Love this guy already. He's warm and relatable and has a good story.

 

[Cyrano]

Good. People should be reminded that despite the media's best attempts to sell politics as entertainment, good political work behind the scenes is fucking boring.

I wouldn't say it's boring, but it is work, and most work that people do isn't interesting to anyone but the people doing it (and in plenty of cases, not terribly interesting to them either).

 

[whitehawk]

He's speaking now and I really like him.

 

[Y2Kev]

This is a great pick, wow.

 

[j_k_redtail]

A solid pick.

 

[Magicman103]

Wow, Tim seems very down to earth and likable. This speech is great.

 

[Majine]

After the RNC, hearing him speak is such a breath of fresh air. Actual talk. Not fearmongering and nothingness.

 

[MMaRsu]

Against animal rights? Why

 

[Trouble]

Calm, positive, comfortable speaker, this guy was the right pick.

 

[Kin5290]

Against animal rights? Why

Because animal rights people are insane.

Animal welfare is a whole different story.

 

[shem935]

Against animal rights? Why

Quoting again.

Presumably it comes from this scorecard: http://www.hslf.org/assets/pdfs/humane-scorecard/humane-scorecard-2014.pdf

Looks like he mostly got dinged for not co-sponsoring some animal rights bills.

He didn't co sponsor some bills but made the votes when he could

 

[rjinaz]

I like this guy. I also the colors on their new sign.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Ok, I'm going to take back my thoughts on him being boring. Sure he isn't Obama or Bill Clinton levels of charismatic. But watching him speak live right now has me realizing that his bright enthusiasm is incredibly infectious, which is something that this election sorely needs.

 

[MMaRsu]

Quoting again.

Ahh alright thanks for the info, nothing too bad or horrible.

I wish him the best

That's old. here is the current one:

http://www.congressweb.com/awi/legislators/info/mbr_id/494/congress/114#compassionIndex

but yeah, that's the gist of it. Even still, they don't give him a 0% so I don't know what that site in the OP is talking about

Cheers hadn't seen this yet.

 

[peaceiscloser]

havent seen hillary smile like this in a while. good news for her finally!

 

[Xe4]

Link to the speech?
Edit: nm found it.

 

[Adaren]

This Kaine speech is perfect right now. His tone is the antithesis of Donald's perpetual fear mongering.

And the crowd is hyped af lol.

[acklame]

This is really good.

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

This guy is in the same vein as Biden as far as warm personality, I'm liking him.

 

[univariate]

thanks for choosing us

 

[rjinaz]

USA USA! I love it.

Democratic party making America sane again.

 

[Mercury Fred]

Wow, very impressed with Kaine. I'm feeling relieved.

 

[Xe4]

I saw some interviews, but I think he's the anti Clinton. Better live than in interviews.

 

[User1608]

USA USA! I love it.

Democratic party making America sane again.

Kaine is great. Definitely glad we have one good, decent party in this country.

 

[Revolver]

His English to Spanish seems so fluid. He's always seemed affable and competent. Excellent contrast to the other side.

 

[univariate]

ok i like where this is going. let's change the gun laws..c'mon say it.

 

[Melkezadek]

I like this guy a lot.

 

[MMaRsu]

Gun safety yes please

 

[univariate]

Pence is fucked

 

[vinnygambini]

Very well spoken.

 

[Y2Kev]

LOLOLOLOL MIKE PENCE

 

[BradC00]

YOU'RE FIRED!

 

[RDreamer]

Just tuned in. I like this guy so far. He's got a nice homesy style that works pretty great. He seems like a nice, genuine, good guy.

 

[univariate]

he's the you're fired guy lmao

 

[ElRenoRaven]

See. People were worried. This guy may be a safe bet but he is a good bet. As mentioned he's the opposite of Trump. He seems like one of the few who honestly give a shit.

 

[bachikarn]

LOLOLOLOL MIKE PENCE

What did he say about Pence?

 

[Draper]

Alright, I like him.

 

[bangbang i'm a timpani]

haha love watching everybody turn around and like him now

 

[univariate]

See. People were worried. This guy may be a safe bet but he is a good bet. As mentioned he's the opposite of Trump. He seems like one of the few who honestly give a shit.

Yeah, I was so wrong about this guy. He is progressive and he comes off as being very sincere and approachable––but also smart and confident. Great choice by Hillary.

 

[BajiBoxer]

He's won me over. Didn't expect this guy to give such a great speech hitting just about all the points I wanted to hear about. He's killing it.
