Do vp picks actually have that kind of persuasion on flipping states?

 

[B-Dubs]

I just shit a brick because I had an email from Hillary that said "Join us in Howard"

And I thought it said "Join us with Howard"

And I'm like WHO THE HELL IS HOWARD IS HE MY NEW VEEP DADDY!?

Tim Howard as VP! He can literally save ANYTHING!

 

[User 463088]

It's Clinton/Satan

Electors to the electoral college can't vote for the same person to be President and Vice President. So....I don' think that will work!

No

 

[User 463088]

Man, all of us sat at home on a Friday night, staring at out phones, praying for something that just won't come.

Feels like high school again right? And college. And my early 20s. And my mid 20s. And my late 20s

They're basically useless, you should be comfortable working with them and certain they could take over as President.

That's why McCain was a moron

^ welp

[Plinko]

Well, at least I got the democrat right. Had Pence been mentioned at all at the time we did the contest, I would have picked him as more of a wish to have him leave Indiana.

 

[Black Mamba]

Hillary tweets it. Done.

 

[B-Dubs]

I can't believe Kev wasn't picked.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

CHOO CHOOOOOO

PLEASE HAVE YOUR TICKETS OUT FOR THE CONDUCTOR

PLEASE DO NOT WALK BETWEEN CARS WHILE THE TRAIN IS MOVING

 

[Drakeon]

Well, it's officially Kaine. Sad trombone

 

[Frank the Great]

President Trump confirmed.

 

[pigeon]

I can't believe Kev wasn't picked.

OR WAS HE

Explains why Kaine is so soft on the finance industry!

 

[Black Mamba]

I can't believe Kev wasn't picked.

She picked me but I told her I'm not old enough so she said "FUCK."

and I said "what about this Kaine guy I keep hearing"

and she said "fine, whatever. FUCK."

Or, you know, some mild interest. Maybe with a nice cup of tea and a digestive?

 

[Plinko]

Fuck.

The VA gov is a Dem

 

[DrForester]

So, I know very little about Kaine. Why is he a good choice?

 

[Iolo]

Tim "Sugar" Kaine.

 

[Boke1879]

yeah :\

I just have this terrible, sick feeling about all of this...

barely been eating, hard to get out of bed...

You really think this race was decided based on who her VP was?

 

[User 463088]

yeah :\

I just have this terrible, sick feeling about all of this...

barely been eating, hard to get out of bed...

Because Hillary's campaign is too stupid to focus test the fuck out of every single possible pick?

The Progressive Case for Tim Kaine

 

[Teggy]

HERMAN CAIN IS VP WHAT IS GOING ON???!!

 

[Black Mamba]

It makes a lot of sense. I've not commented much...

But among the choices, Kaine was the best choice in case something happens to Hillary.

The only other choice I saw was Perez. As much as I like Warren...what is her foreign policy positions? No way Hillary was going to pick someone who knew so little on foreign policy in this election much like Obama picked Biden (over Kaine) and was looking t experience in this area.

It's a safe pick. It's a good pick. It won't get people super excited but it was probably the right pick for her. I'm fine with it.
