An effort to fully eliminate superdelegates in future elections has failed at a meeting of the Democratic National Convention rules committee.
At the Saturday gathering in Philadelphia, a delegate for Vermont Sen. It’s why more than half of Oregon’s 61 delegates are pledged to Sanders, who won almost 57 percent of the vote in May, and most of its 13 superdelegates, who can vote however they please and are often high-level politicians, are supporting Clinton.
“I think that he is a man who knows, who’s had a lot of experience, who would be an excellent asset to Hillary”, Goldfeld said.
Sanders delegates were mulling ways to show support for Sanders during the convention, such as a walkout after the roll call of states Tuesday, according to excerpts of a Slack thread Friday obtained by The Associated Press.
Still, Sanders’ most powerful proxy – Sen. The network claims 1,200 members. “He is a progressive that likes to get things done”. Those are the party insiders who can vote for the candidate of their choice at the convention. They say his campaign was hurt by Hillary Clinton’s overwhelming support from superdelegates.
And maybe most important of all this election cycle, friends say Kaine can take a punch too. “There’s no doubt in my mind, because I’m here with him, that Tim is qualified to be vice president”.
Kaine has opened his remarks in fluent Spanish, and he’s detailing his biography to supporters.
There was his childhood as the son of a Kansas ironworker and hi education at a Jesuit boys schools.
A Harvard law graduate and married father of three adult children, Kaine used to work as a civil-rights attorney.
That’s right, Yes We Kaine was already helping a sister out. Asked about Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and his self-professed “boring” personality, Clinton said, “And I love that about him”.
Clinton can also be expected to focus on Hispanics, who make up a growing number of voters along the I-4 corridor and who have been alienated by Trump’s views on issues such as immigration.
The former NY senator Kaine’s his tenure as a legislator fighting for causes such as public education funding, more gun control, and LGBT rights.
“It runs a little neck and neck with Donald Trump’s choice because you then have something similar to what Donald Trump has selected in his vice president”. “Sen. Tim Kaine is everything Donald Trump and (GOP vice-presidential nominee) Mike Pence are not”, Mrs. Clinton said.
So what does Kaine bring to the ticket?
What Kaine doesn’t do is excite the Democratic Party’s restive liberal base.
Clinton opposed the TPP during the primary against Sanders, citing concerns about job protections and national security. “So while Tim was taking on housing discrimination and homelessness, Donald Trump was denying apartments to people who were African American”.
“Our success in the I-4 corridor is essential to our winning”, Clinton said.
In his acceptance speech, Trump characterised Clinton as corrupt, incompetent and hopelessly out of touch, saying she left a legacy of “death, destruction, terrorism and weakness”. “And if Donald Trump doesn’t understand that, he doesn’t understand America”.
There also has been some controversy over paid travel and gifts he received while in office. “Kaine was with us on Keystone XL, but against us on offshore drilling and fracking”.
Kaine, a Roman Catholic, has championed Latino causes in Virginia and had a strong relationship with communities in the Old Dominion state.
“To him it doesn’t matter if you are a new immigrant or you’re a worker who’s been here a long time or a Dreamer”, Kaine said.
Democrat Hillary Clinton has formally introduced her presidential running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, highlighting his “lifelong commitment to social justice”.

Her introduction of Kaine was in stark contrast to Trump’s first event with Pence last weekend.
