Kaine said the GOP nominee’s remarks were “very, very dangerous”. While Kaine supports the Dodd-Frank legislation that imposes major regulations on the financial industry, he also was one of 70 senators to recently sign a letter to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau asking for looser regulations on regional banks and credit unions. He cites his varied experience from city council to mayor to lieutenant governor, governor and now senator. He spoke out against the death penalty in a leading state for executions.

“One of the many, many reasons but I think it’s among the profoundly largest and most widespread reasons that Bernie delegates here and reflecting supporters around the country are so upset about the Kaine pick is not only that it’s the one thing that Hillary Clinton can not go back on later on, she’s locked into her pick”, said Solomon. It’s not about the candidate who represents majority views.
It was unclear whether the resignation Sunday of party chief Debbie Wasserman Schultz would be enough to unite the party behind Hillary Clinton. And some liberal activists have expressed dismay that Clinton passed over Sen.
On Sunday, Sanders said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he would have preferred Warren.
Clinton tells Pelley that she “doesn’t know anything about” these emails and hasn’t read any of them, but Clinton said that an email such as Pelley described would be “absolutely wrong and unacceptable”. Solomon called that neutrality a “fiction”.
Last week’s Republican National Convention offered a powerful reminder of why Clinton is seeking the presidency, she said, despite those “mean-spirited attacks”.
A Democratic presidential nominee with a résumé rich in foreign policy has just chosen a running-mate with a résumé rich in foreign policy.
Kaine was one of 13 Senate Democrats who voted in June 2015 to grant Obama “fast-track” authority to push the deal through Congress.
The less enamored people feel with the President, the less they’re likely to vote for the candidate who represents his governing model.
‘Boy, do I believe in it now more than ever after seeing what was presented last week, ‘ she said. And watch Tuesday’s roll call of the states.
Hillary Clinton also touted Kaine’s musical skills.
‘As I talked to him further, he didn’t quite know what he meant by that. “That’s not the kind of tradition Tim Kaine comes out of”. Another 20% think they need more information. And in the case of Virginia, which is home to one of the nation’s larger deep-water ports, it’s also important to understand the benefits of trade.
Kaine added, “Most of us stopped the name-calling thing about fifth grade”.
Republicans relished Democrats’ pre-convention tumult, just days after they bumped and bumbled through their convention, unsuccessfully trying to paper over their own division.
“His record on civil rights and guns is unquestionable”, Sroka said, but he argued that doesn’t erase his group’s concerns.
“Tim Kaine has been praising the Trans Pacific Partnership and has been pushing hard to get it approved”.
Kaine ticked off some legislative priorities, including overhauls of immigration, tax, mental health and criminal justice laws.
On this point, Kaine agreed.
And finally there are the ratings – her Republican opponent is an eyeball-magnate.

Voters who like President Obama don’t necessarily like Hillary Clinton as evidenced in that staggering 67 percent untrustworthy figure above.
