Hillary Clinton Selects Tim Kaine As VP

Once Bush refused to pardon Scooter Libby, Cheney became boxed out.
Clinton is to the left of Obama and Kaine is to the left of Biden though...

Trump thanks you for your vote.

stop parroting this south park bullshit. it's not even true.
You realize the point of the South Park analogy is that you should still vote for what you think is the least worst, right
Why does everyone always leave that part out
So their policies do not matter, just the people involved?

Solid pick, though I'm a bit bummed it's not out of left field.
So who in this scenario is the turd sandwhich? Hillary only springs for McDonalds so I assume that one is Trump?
What policies make Clinton so unappealing considering both the democrat Pres and VP will be replaced by more liberal counterparts if Clinton wins?

You will probably get dog piled for this post, but I'm in complete agreement.
i was hoping for a Biden-esque pick, as in somebody who could work congress to shore up votes, just generally well rounded in all areas of public service
in other words, a solid pick to me. i can't stand it when people want to be razzled and dazzled by these things, a VP needs to be an asset for an incumbent administration.

Look up a few posts
To be fair, it took me more than two minutes to get the essential Trumpiness of the wildly baseless accusation correct!

Even my deep red* home state of Nebraska abolished** the death penalty this last year
*Obama got one EC from Omaha in '08. I'm hoping/betting Hillary does the same.
**disclaimer:
some crybaby legislators and the lex luthor motherfucker governor got it on the Nov. ballot via petition drive. so, it's probably staying. But still!
What exactly has Clinton done that compares to Trump wanting to ban a religious group, abandon Europe to Russia, and build a wall to purposely keep out brown people?
For fuck's sake, Trump's running mate passed an anti-gay law in Indiana and wants to put women in jail for having abortions. Posts like yours make no damn sense.
He never said anything about voting for Trump.

Get outta here, Scott Baio.
I just don't get how you could say both sides are bad. Look at the platform the GOP put out last week. Look at the speech Trump gave last night! At the very least Hillary is the status quo-- maybe not great, but hello, not a fascist white nationalist. Have some freakin' perspective! The platform the dems put forth is the most progressive in their history and Hillary is the most liberal democrat ever nominated. We're moving in the right direction. I know some people want to move faster. But she is no turd sandwich. And trump is not a douche. He's a threat to our country.
Quoting myself for what always happenes when people take South Park as political gospel.
I honestly don't know what that even means.
PM me the secret Kaine sex tape, plz.
It's a dumb stance to take. There is more than just the person running for President.

Meh, but at the same time I had no feeling toward any of the potential picks except maybe Warren but I couldn't see that happening.
I was full Bernie in the primaries, supported him in the OK primary. However I've always been with the mindset that whoever leads the democratic ticket is getting my vote and support. Heck, I donated to Hillary after the RNC last night. Cannot have Trump.

Please let PETA make a statement against him.

being the architect of flipping Virginia Blue is a big +++ and I am starting to agree that it's a good pick for a Trump fight

I think a part of that has to do with how people learned of the provisions. Trying to fast track it without releasing all the details raised suspicions.
People saying both parties are the same are ignorant and misinformed. Head in the sand doesn't make you right
Check out the party platforms. Conversion therapy and striking down marriage equality is on the GoP platform. Their current platform. Yea. That's as bad as TPP to some of you?

Oh I didn't say I wasn't going to go out and vote on other issues, just that I will most likely put in Goku as a write in for president.

He's a liberal who won a red state, who's now a moderate because the party has moved to the left. That's a testament to the strength of the Left, not a knock against Kaine.
Also, Kaine is pretty baller:
We owe a lot of Virginia going blue because of his work on bringing people to NoVA.

If you don't vote, you're helping Trump win. The GOP benefits more from low voter turnout.
Kaine to me seems the perfect VP. He seems ready to take over in the unfortunate event something happens to Clinton, and that's how a VP should be selected.
I know why people wanted Warren but I also think others got caught up in how she destroy Pence in debates etc. VP isn't a popularity contest and shouldn't be decided as such.
And while I Don't think VP's help all that much I think Kaine could help poach some undecideds/ center right republicans that refuse to vote Trump.

For those saying this will make you sit out (assuming you are on the left) does the fact the progressive wing of Warren, Sherrod Brown, and Bernie endorsing the ticket mean nothing to you?

You can still vote for Jill Stein or write Bernie Sanders' name in.
Well, we can't have that. Some of mother nature's penises were simply not made to be taken up the butt. I am looking at you, ducks.
