Bernie Sanders Gives A Nod Of Support For Tim Kaine VP Pick

Ms Clinton, 68, said she wanted a running mate with enough experience to “literally get up one day and be the President of the United States”.

“When Donald Trump says he has your back, you better watch out”, Kaine said, with Clinton sitting at his side nodding. But some locals wonder, will he broaden the appeal of Hillary’s ticket? “Now, he is going to change his tune, and I understand he is now going to say he is against TPP”.

Dwight Bullard, a Florida state senator, said not one of the 70-plus Sanders delegates in his state including himself is happy with Kaine’s selection.

“I’m not shocked, but I’m disappointed” by the exchanges in the emails, Sanders told ABC’s “This Week”.

Ms Clinton and Mr Kaine also have, and are said to share an easy rapport and an interest in policy details. She said “you have helped shape us” and that she and her husband “will really need your prayers”. “He’s the type of politician and I think his the type of person who’s going to bring that to the ticket, and I’m hoping it shines and I hope we win”.

In televised interviews Sunday, the Vermont senator said the emails proved what he knew was true: The DNC planned to support former Secretary of State Clinton from the start. “Do you consider Tim Kaine a progressive, and are you happy with this pick?”

During an interview alongside Clinton on CBS News’ “60 Minutes”, in excerpts released ahead of its airing Sunday night, the presumptive vice presidential nominee praised Clinton for not taking the bait.

When the news came via text, she quickly followed it with a message on Twitter: “I’m thrilled to announce my running mate, @TimKaine, a man who’s devoted his life to fighting for others”.

At the Florida rally with Clinton, Kaine spoke in both English and Spanish, stressing his belief that far from banning immigrants, which is part of the Trump platform, he wants to welcome more into the nation.

Kaine’s former Senate press secretary, Sarah Peck, is already working as Clinton’s Virginia campaign spokeswoman.

In contrast, he said, Clinton “doesn’t insult people, she listens to them”.

Kaine criticized Trump’s recent suggestion that he might not honor US security commitments to North Atlantic Treaty Organisation in Europe, and the real estate mogul’s history of casino bankruptcies and founding the failed Trump University. “I’ve known Tim Kaine for a number of years”, Sanders said. “I’m not shocked”, Sanders said, “but I am disappointed”. What does Donald Trump say about these great Americans, these 2 millions?

Nationwide polls suggest Clinton is running nearly neck and neck with Trump, who painted a dark picture of an America mired in poverty and violence as he accepted his party’s nomination Thursday, promising to restore law and order, clamp down on immigration and put America first.
