Tim Kaine gets warm welcome from neighbors

And she may need to rely on people like Reed Benet, a Republican businessman from MI, who says he’s not happy with Trump and might vote for the Democrat.

I’m wondering if Clinton sees Kaine as well positioned and ready to lead the charge on gun reform from the veep’s office. A person close to the campaign, also speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the private deliberations, said Clinton had a hard time not choosing her longtime family friend and political loyalist. “Philly fight?” he said in another tweet. “He may be for her, but we’re with him”.

Clinton, too, took on Trump, referring to his speech Thursday accepting the nomination and comparing it to the sort of dictators many Miamians fled in their home countries.

The Democratic National Committee’s rules panel has decided that Rep. Marcia Fudge of OH will preside over convention sessions beginning Monday. The two only briefly posed for photos at their campaign kickoff.

Widely seen as a safe choice in a brutal election race-Kaine himself jokes that he is “boring”-the senator could help Clinton lock in two key voting blocs: Hispanics and his battleground home state”. America was not built on fear. He took a year’s sabbatical while in law school to work as a Catholic missionary and teacher in Honduras.

“Behind that smile Tim also has a backbone of steel. Just ask the NRA”, Clinton said. “April 16th, 2007 was the worst day of my life, and the worst day of so many lives”. He also had a particularly powerful backer in Obama, whom Kaine endorsed in 2007.

He added: “In the years to come there will be a Latino or Latina president”.

Kaine told Democrats Saturday that Trump is a callous businessman who “leaves a trail of wrecked lives wherever he goes”. They considered departing on a boat but instead switched cars, piling into a Volvo, and drove to Newport’s Viking Hotel, where Kaine’s wife, Anne Holton, had already checked in. She now serves as the state’s education secretary. The couple has three adult children, including a son, Nat, a Marine who is going on a deployment on Monday, aides said.

Kaine told the crowd: “Let me tell you something that Harry Truman said that could have been written five minutes ago”. The couple planned to attend 9 a.m.

In 2008, Lawton served as a Midwest co-chair for Clinton’s presidential campaign, but she wrote in a Medium post before last April’s Wisconsin primary that she was endorsing Sanders this year because of campaign finance issues.

But in a nod to party liberals, the Clinton campaign said Kaine will not support the final version of the 12-nation Trans Pacific Partnership, which is pending in the Senate. “Job killer!” he said.

Trump, who during his acceptance speech in Cleveland said Sanders supporters would come to his team, attempted to rile up Sanders supporters on Twitter early Sunday.

And yes, Kaine does represent a crucial swing state, but using a vice presidential selection to pick up favorite-son electoral votes is a gambit that has not worked since New Englander John F. Kennedy named Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas in 1960.

Sanders waged a feisty yearlong battle against Clinton in the Democratic primaries. Victories in both would likely put the White House out of the reach of Donald Trump and his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

A sendoff rally will be held Friday on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, the Clinton campaign said Sunday. When someone says I alone can fix it, that should set off alarm bells… “He’s qualified”, Hillary said when introducing her running mate, citing his experience climbing from Richmond City Council to Richmond Mayorship, on to Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, then Governor of Virginia, and now Senator.

Getting big money out of politics is of growing importance to voters in both major parties.

“Absolutely. I made a mistake”.
