Support NeoGAF

[Erevador]

Why is GAF so down on him? I don't anything about this guy.

Because GAF is unrealistic about how far to the left an unpopular candidate like Hillary can go in her choice of VP.

 

[B-Dubs]

Well, what's the positive spin on his recent calls for bank deregulations?

Did you not read ANY of the posts in that thread?

 

[Aselith]

I saw this interesting combo while looking for news on this:



(Trump picture was below)

 

[Crocodile]

The Progressive Case for Tim Kaine (If you want to learn more about him)

 

[Redd]

Virginia represent. Ahhh yeah, he was good for Virginia for the most part for me at least. Now the wait until November.

 

[User1608]

This is good. Oatmeal that will get us through in a good way.

 

[High Fry Frow]

What a shit election

Country of over 300 million and this is the best we could do.

 

[Y2Kev]

Why is GAF so down on him? I don't anything about this guy.

He's the safe pick. He's probably to the right of Clinton and definitely to the right of Warren. But he's an experienced politician with solid positions that mostly agree with hers and where the country is. Great ratings from NARAL/Planned Parenthood. He has an F from the NRA.

Honestly I think he's just zzz. She could have made a splash.

Is now a good time to buy bank of america and goldman sachs stock?

On point. Not trusting anything he says when he was juniored for making a misleading thread.

 

[HylianTom]

Imagine polls in Virginia closing at 7PM Eastern and we get a call within an hour.

Knowing what the electoral math looks like, I'd be sitting here laaaaaaughing.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

GAF was down on Biden and look how that all turned out. He's a liberal hero despite being a generic politician who voted for the Iraq War.

 

[timetokill]

Well, that's an uninspiring pick, so he'll fit in perfectly

Is now a good time to buy bank of america and goldman sachs stock?

I mean, do you know what the capital markets are going to look like in the next 24 months?

Right now there is a shitload of negative pressure on the bond market, and the stock market gains are making both IB and M&A work harder than it was a year ago..

oh, you were making a dumb quippy joke without any information to back it up.

I expect him to chokeslam Pence in their debate.

 

[Souldriver]

Virginia, PA and Ohio.

This is a moderate midwestern Dem who is extremely popular in his home state that is designed to be able to speak to those voters that Trump is trying to steal from the Obama coalition.

I hope it works out well.

I mean, I'm sure Hillary and her team do good work in vetting the right candidate. Most of all I hope Tim and Hillary just get along well. Seems to me the most important of all.

 

[Red]

He's fine. He was the expected pick. But his name on the ticket won't light a fire under anyone's ass to go out and vote.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Country of over 300 million and this is the best we could do.

Yeah, the best we could do is a policy wonk to the left of the incumbent running alongside the very successful ex-governor of (and current junior senator from) a swing state. How terrible.

 

[Omadahl]

So now we're yet another seat away from taking back the Senate? Hurray...

 

[RDreamer]

Seems like a solid, logical choice. I'm on board with it. Seems like how Clinton will govern. Well thought out and logical.

 

[stonesak]

Hillary obviously needed a conservative VP to offset her radical liberalism.

 

[Valhelm]

what a fucking bummer

 

[smokeymicpot]

Expected. A lot better then Pence.

 

[diaspora]

Hillary obviously needed a conservative VP to offset her radical liberalism.

Kaine? Conservative? In what world?

 

[Vire]

Cute timing with the Wiki leaks scandal.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

 

[gutter_trash]

Kaine is boring and dull yes

but he turns Virginia blue and makes North Carolina purple

North Carolina being in play puts Trump on defense

 

[Loudninja]

He's fine. He was the expected pick. But his name on the ticket won't light a fire under anyone's ass to go out and vote.

Does any VP?

 

[Jarmel]

I really don't want to be locked into a Kaine presidency after Clinton's run.

 

[StoOgE]

I hope it works out well.

I mean, I'm sure Hillary and her team do good work in vetting the right candidate. Most of all I hope Tim and Hillary just get along well. Seems to me the most important of all.

They know each other extremely well.

This is the "this guy would make a very capable president" sort of VP pick, which is what the VPs actual job is for the most part.

 

[stonesak]

Kaine? Conservative? In what world?

For a democrat.

 

[Odrion]

Did you not read ANY of the posts in that thread?

What thread? Do I need to read every thread? If there's a thread that has info, link to it instead of being smug.

 

[giga]

I added some ideology and political positions ratings to the OP. Dude is solid.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Was hoping for the Supreme Commander, but Kaine is a safe, smart pick as well. Being from a battleground state and speaking spanish is a bonus. But the Supreme Commander also had both qualities.

 

[GusBus]

I'm curious to see if she'll get a polling bounce from the news.

 

[johnsmith]

Ugh

 

[davepoobond]

Cute timing with the Wiki leaks scandal.

conspiracy

 

[8 X 11 Printer Paper]

I'm okay with Hillary going with the oatmeal, he'll just be Biden 2.0 with less creepy uncleness.

 

[xxracerxx]

I expect him to chokeslam Pence in their debate.

Nothing will beat Diamond Joe though.

 

[CountAntonius]

He's the safe pick.

Because he's not exciting enough.

I'm just glad we got someone we can trust should the worst come to pass in the next 4 years. But what do I know.

Because GAF is unrealistic about how far to the left an unpopular candidate like Hillary can go in her choice of VP.

He's the safe pick. He's probably to the right of Clinton and definitely to the right of Warren. But he's an experienced politician with solid positions that mostly agree with hers and where the country is. Great ratings from NARAL/Planned Parenthood. He has an F from the NRA.

Gotcha. Thanks.

The Progressive Case for Tim Kaine (If you want to learn more about him)

Will read this. thanks.

 

[diaspora]

For a democrat.

He's not conservative for a Democrat though. I mean on social issues he's very much a liberal and a centrist at worst on fiscal issues.

 

[eBay Huckster]

I really don't want to be locked into a Kaine presidency after Clinton's run.

He's gonna be 66 in 2024 and I get the feeling Dem voters are gonna want someone younger.

Damn, his Spanish is great.

 

[Risette]

Cute timing with the Wiki leaks scandal.

this announcement was planned for a few days, I'm not sure what you're getting at

also lol @ calling the wikileaks thing a scandal

 

[Mr. RPG]

This is an absolutely abysmal choice for Vice President.

I'm so disappointed in Hillary. It is clear that she doesn't care about Bernie's supporters.

 

[StoOgE]

I'm curious to see if she'll get a polling bounce from the news.

between this and the rollout at the DNC (which I promise will not be stepped on by a non-endorsement by a political opponent right beforehand) she should get a solid bounce in the polls.

That coupled with the e-mail stuff and the super negative RNC not going over very well and I suspect that outside of external major news she will be sitting on a 7-10 point lead in two weeks.

@CitizenSullivan 9h9 hours ago
Tim Kaine's voting record:
Planned Parenthood: 100%
Brady Campaign: 100%
NARAL: 100%
Human Rights Campaign: 100%
AFL/CIO: 94%

He's not progressive enough tho...
