Joe, you are right. Tim's a wonderful addition to the ticket. He and Hillary will make a great team.
And here's a link to the rally for anyone who missed it:

(9,141 posts)Hard for me to get enthused over DLC corporatist conserva dems. But anything is better than Trump/Pence. It's a done deal now and I accept it cause I have no other choice in the matter. Hoping that things don't get worse is not the same as knowing they are going to get much better than they are now. I will just make the best out of the situation handed to me without regard for my input.

(34,582 posts)now let's do this thing. I want to see Trump crushed. I want my sister's right to get married upheld. Challenges to the gutting of VRA will occur, and I don't want Trump appointed justices on the bench when they do. And, slowly, we are fighting back on reproductive rights.
on edit: for the record, I was a Sanders supporter, too.

(2,338 posts)I don't have a sister wanting the right to get married, but I am a full-throttle Sandars support and I will drag my primary-tired behind out to vote Hillary/Kaine in November.
A a Virginia resident, I know all about Kaine. Great choice. Keep Warren where she can do the most good for "We the People!"
I want to see Trump defeated by historic margins. Bury the GOP!!

(34,582 posts)it would have been a great choice, but her state has a republican governor, and the Senate can't afford to have him name her replacement. That is how we got Scott Brown.

(6,594 posts)... it means he hasn't been involved in any scandals.
If he had been, the press would have been all over him & he would be a household name.
"Politician Does His Job" isn't a headline I see in the MSM.
Go #ClintonKaine!!!

(335 posts)I'm not that familiar with him. I hope people are right who say he's great. I note that others have serious concerns.
It should be no surprise there are different opinions about him just as there are about the primary candidates.
