Clinton, Kaine to stop in Youngstown after DNC
He is qualified to lead on day one.
Trump dismissed the suggestion in a tweet: “The joke in town is that Russian Federation leaked the disastrous DNC emails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me”.
Stephanie Taylor, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, said Friday that Kaine’s support of fast track for the Trans-Pacific Partnership has given Republicans “a new opening to attack Democrats on this economic populist issue”. Bernie Sanders, who finished second in the Democratic primary. Mrs. Obama’s address all but wiped away earlier tumult in the convention hall that had exposed lingering tensions between Clinton and Sanders supporters.
The presumptive Democratic nominee had weighed whether she needed a more outspoken liberal on her ticket to satisfy the Bernie Sanders wing of the party.
It was his first time at church since Clinton announced that he was her vice presidential pick. He also suggested that Clinton’s choice of running mate, Virginia Sen. Clinton’s campaign quickly added more Sanders’ supporters to the speakers lineup.
If Trump is often criticized as an egotistical blowhard, Kaine came across as an agile, knowledgeable and self-deprecating speaker.
He says that, “by every standard Hillary Clinton won a decisive victory”. She did the right thing.
“I’m sure he’s not going to opine on whether a carbon tax is better than a cap-and-trade mechanism”, Kaine said of the pope days before the encyclical was published in 2015. I seem to be the only unifying – theme that they had.
“I know Tim Kaine called you after he was picked”.
But major labor and pro-Democratic groups praised the Kaine pick, including Planned Parenthood, AFL-CIO and other big unions, and the Sierra Club. “We will talk, work, and listen to you 24-7,”‘ she said. “Tough times don’t last, but tough people do”.
Kaine showed a willingness to mix it up with the Republican ticket, assailing Trump as someone who had left “a trail of broken promises and wrecked lives wherever he goes”.
Kaine was born in Minnesota 58 years ago and is a lawyer trained at Harvard University, the same school that President Barack Obama attended. His time there is said to have helped form his support for citizenship for undocumented immigrants in the United States – a stance likely to attract Latino voters. “When he was running for governor, my wife campaigned as much as she could”, Strother said.
With widespread concern that Sanders supporters will not throw their weight behind the Clinton candidacy, Sanders made clear during Sunday’s round of interviews that despite his quarrels and criticisms with the DNC, his primary focus at this point is defeating the Repulican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
