Twitter Just Turned VP Nominee Tim Kaine Into Your Dad

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton give a thumbs up after taking the stage to make her acceptance speech during the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Thursday, July 28, 2016.

Post-convention it has become clear the presidential race will be fought in the struggling manufacturing towns, cities and rural farming communities of the Rust Belt, as Clinton used the days following her convention to try and win back some of the white working class voters that once made up a key piece of the Democratic Party’s electoral coalition.

Earlier this week, spokespeople for the Clinton-Kaine campaign said Kaine told Clinton privately he supports her plan to end the Hyde Amendment.

“With Hillary, it’s not just words, it’s accomplishments.” he said, before training his fire on Trump.

“I think she picked somebody who’s a lot like Joe Biden, who’s a nice complement, sort of a soft, easy-going kind of guy”, Gelb, 60, said. “His creditors, his contractors, his laid-off employees, his ripped-off students did just that, and they all got hurt”. Tim Kaine of Virginia as her running mate. For many Americans, it was the first time they’ve laid eyes on him.

Now, at least, Kaine can stand by his personal beliefs on the death penalty since the Democratic party included abolishing the death penalty in its party platform. Elizabeth Warren of MA or Sen.

While polling averages show Trump and Clinton in a dead heat, she is pulling away with a commanding lead over him in Pennsylvania, according to two surveys conducted in July. His convention speech was full of folksy phrasing and a very bad, dad-like impression of Donald Trump. He also recounted attending a Jesuit boys school and how he took a year off law school to be a missionary in Honduras.

Kaine, a former Virginia governor, also criticized Trump’s seeming invitation last week for Russian Federation to hack into United States servers and find Clinton’s missing emails – a comment Trump later said was “sarcastic”. “These are the battles I’ve been fighting my entire life”. “He should not be president and Republican leaders have a moral responsibility to say so?”. He said it was “a journey through Donald Trump’s mind, and that is a very frightening place”.

The proof of Kaine’s help to Clinton will be in how he can narrow the Republican advantage in Chesterfield County, similar in population size to Henrico, but less urban and with a more Republican hue.

Nationally, opinion polls show Trump moving into a slight lead after receiving his party’s nomination at the convention in Cleveland.

“Donald Trump, you hear him, he talks a big game about putting America first”.

In Harrisburg on Friday night, Kaine asked an enthusiastic crowd whether anyone believed Trump’s promises and boasts. “We better elect the candidate who’s proven she can be trusted with the job”.

Kaine also denied he had changed his stance on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, insisting that he has not “shifted my position on that”. Kaine now says he can’t support it in his current form, though many Sanders voters remain unconvinced.

Although Kaine is Catholic who is personally opposed to abortion, he has a 100% “pro-choice” rating from NARAL Pro-Choice America having voted against restrictions on abortion, including a ban on public funding for elective abortion under the Affordable Care Act and a ban on most abortions after the fifth month of pregnancy.

Democrats gathered in Philadelphia formally selected Tim Kaine as their USA vice-presidential candidate on Wednesday, completing the party’s ticket for the November election.

As Clinton and Kaine’s buses rolled into Johnston, with factories and mountains as a backdrop, they were greeted by a few dozen Trump supporters standing on the road outside Johnstown Wire Factory.

As Mary Eberstadt explains in her new book It’s unsafe to Believe: Religious Freedom and Its Enemies, we are witnessing the rise of “a rival faith, rooted in the sexual revolution”.
