Does the VP need to be there for the actual announcement? I could see her announcing it and then later doing a joint event together.

So now his speech is now past the media cycle.
Amazing.
WTF will he do during the DNC?

I meam, it would be bizarre if they weren't at the announcement.
He will call in live to every network each night AND live tweet every speech. No doubt about it. He loves calling into shows and trying to upstage his opponents. He even did it during the RNC.

He'll probably retweet some white supremacist talking about how Louisiana is going to be "Great Again" and that will be the endorsement.
isn't the formal announcement tomorrow? I thought we were just getting a blast from the campaign today

So after this morning Cruz will never endorse and that will remain a media story all during the campaign? This is incredible
It was like she had an old speech and replaced "Corey Booker" with "my dad"
(not sure if she actually gave any speeches for Corey, but she was supporting his campaign IIRC)

He also has a fundraiser scheduled in Boston tomorrow, but obviously he would cancel if he was VP.

Democrats need to rub it in when the DNC gets better ratings than the RNC.
He'll go ballistic.
CNN expecting the VP announcement to come in the form of a text message today to supporters.
That's exactly what I'm expecting as well. He knows how terrible his convention went, and will do everything in his power to try and make the DNC's look as bad through whatever means necessary. I just hope most of the major networks don't take his bait.

God it's such a good feeling listening to Obama speak after this week.
They shouldn't let him call in. If he wants to appear via video that's fine.

Yeah but Lincoln freed the slaves
So who's the REAL racists?
(You know it's funny that the GOP has to go so far back to find actual achievements for their party. Even if you like Reagan I think people are hard pressed to point to anything he did that might be recognized universally as a good thing)
Replace "and most Americans" with ellipses and you've got an ad.

Where is Warren right now? Who is supposed to be at the Florida event today? Why is Hillary so good at keeping secrets?
I wish it was Warren, sadly doesn't seem so

She's going to be in Florida on Saturday anyway.
He's a Clinton plant along with Trump.
If this doesn't wake people up to the danger Trump presents I'm seriously at a loss as to what could.

NRSC Executive Director quick to dismiss:
I've pretty much been off the grid for the last 12 hours. What's this I'm hearing about Trump going in again on the Cruz-JFK story?
So if a Latino/Latina isn't on the ticket the Dems are just playing lip service? Their outreach programs, the actual policies they intend to implement, etc. don't matter? I think "this person shares my ethnicity and I think better understands and speaks to my experiences" is a fine reason to vote for someone in a primary (where everyone tends to be relatively ideologically close) but when it comes to a general election, the differences between the candidates are fare enough apart that the choice or motivation shouldn't be hard.
Yeah this really isn't hard. I don't get people sometimes.

One of the local GAF Trump supporters just posted a thread in the OT on Kaine's support for deregulating financial institutions...

The above is either the right wing echo chamber or the enigma of the very serious people talking. Biden owned him badly and exposed the farce that he's a serious intellectual. Nowadays, Ryan has moved away from proposals full of asterisks to making deals with Obama on things like the omnibus. He's a joke. This is Mr. Trump's party now.
Didn't Trump talk about gutting Dodd-Frank in his speech or did I mishear/read things? Republicans are basically the epitome of deregulation.
Alucard has been working overtime trying to get people in OT worried and riled.

So what? Bernie voted for financial deregulation as well (in 2000)
http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/17/politics/bernie-sanders-wall-street-deregulation-debate/
Doesn't matter. We should put all this nonsense behind us. Bernie needs to give a good endorsement and thats it.
Still isnt a good look. Makes it seems like no matter who you vote for, if you care about finance regulation you are boned either way. Not exactly gonna make people excited to go vote for Hillary.

Let's me put it like this: the Clinton campaign has new material to work on.
Good old "fuck you, I got a good deal."

Kaine should not have been an option if Hillary was going to agree to the new Dem platform that they agreed on with Bernie.
I can envision Hillary pushing for the majority of policies within it..Like the public option, free college under 125k, glass steagal reinstatement, 15$ minimum wage... But not Kaine.
This fucking sucks.

Tom Perez is sec of labor. Nieto is Mexican presidente. Trump's been talking about labor going away to Mexico. Perez is at white house with the two presidents negotiating a deal that will result in a lot of jobs for both countries, and then Clinton's going to wave Perez around as her veep as evidence that her campaign has the assets necessary to bring jobs stateside without alienating Mexico.

Do people just see the word "BANKS" and get triggered?
Even if I agreed with you, I just don't see why that is an American problem -- nobody is forcing those small governments to sign up for that and nobody is forcing them to stay in the TPP in the future if it's disastrous for them

Yes, this is true of most left wing voters. Banks and corporations might as well be the Mexicans and terrorists of the Democratic Party.
Nope not at all, my issue was that a poster said Kaine speaks Spanish so he checks a box and would automatically be able to excite Latinos. Again this isn't just about this election it's about future elections this is about locking in an ever growing voter bloc for years.
