The first lady made an argument for Clinton’s election from the perspective of raising two daughters.

Kaine is a relatively unknown figure: 30 percent of those polled have never heard of him and another 24 percent have no opinion about him, while 27 percent have a favorable view of him and 19 percent have an unfavorable view of him. “Not if she chooses Tim Kaine”. What were we talking about again?
Oh. Right. Tim Kaine.
“I don’t see how you run for president of the United States if you spend all your time trash-talking the United States”, she told supporters at a rally in North Carolina.
Hillary Clinton could have sent a strong signal to the millions of people who voted for moving beyond decades of neoliberal policies that have produced massive inequality in wealth, employment, health care and education, as well as racial and gender disparities and an escalating climate crisis. But this is not that year, and this is not that campaign. He now has a 100% rating from Planned Parenthood (key word: “currently”), NARAL, and the Human Rights Campaign, and he’s also got an F from the NRA. The firm anti-gun stance puts him in line with Clinton’s stated priorities, and the fact that he fought housing discrimination as a lawyer helps, given that, you know, Clinton’s opponent has been sued for housing discrimination. Trible, who has led the public university in Newport News since 1996, previously served in the U.S. House and Senate as a Republican from Virginia.
Kaine speaks easily while campaigning, rarely using a prepared text. They have good reason to be disappointed in Kaine. The problem is that there are very few things Tim Kaine actually is. He cited the Republican Party’s “destructive” blockade on President Barack Obama’s nomination of Democrat Merrick Garland to fill the vacant seat on the bench which would have prevented a tie. She said she hoped Clinton would continue focusing on those issues. As Solomon continued, developing the hands and fingers metaphor further: “If Clinton has reached out to Bernie supporters, it appears that she has done so to stick triangulating thumbs in their eyes”. Unlike Mitt Romney – who was pilloried by Democrats as a walking plutocratic symbol of the cruelties of global capitalism – Trump is running as a kind of Man In The Street’s Billionaire who will reverse the depredations of globalization and bring manufacturing jobs roaring back to the industrial heartland, by kicking China’s ass and by grabbing CEOs who dare to talk about moving jobs overseas by their white collars and shaking them until they weep for mercy. He is more conservative than I am. And his understated persona is a departure from the traditional attack-dog persona many presidential candidates seek. “When I see this, you know, ‘Crooked Hillary, ‘ or I see the, ‘Lock her up, ‘ it’s just ridiculous”. Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said Sunday she will resign as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee after the convention ends, but Sanders’ voters say the emails validate their anger over their candidate’s treatment by the Democratic establishment. I strongly suspect that I will go on. Almost everything that made Tim Kaine – the political equivalent of hold music – a “rational” choice also makes him a risky choice for this specific campaign. She added that Clinton continued to call and check on her for years. Tim started as a city councilman in Richmond, Virginia; then mayor; then lieutenant governor; then governor; then senator. The white male demographic became a lost cause for Hillary Clinton somewhere around the time she bragged on national television that she did not bake cookies. Although Iran has not received the full economic windfall from the agreement yet, the billions of dollars that were released to it, combined with the rush by Western companies to make deals with Tehran (including the despicable decision by Boeing to sell planes to aid the radical Islamic regime), have strengthened the hardliners and given them more resources for sponsoring terror and mayhem. Donald Trump is a creature of pure spectacle, for his supporters and his enemies alike. “He is very nice guy”, Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press”.
While Kaine spends a lot of time talking about police officers in the speech, he also mentions that we need to pay more attention to the lives of black males killed by police although his solution is to “provide better police training” with “budgets and emotional commitment.” Hm.

Obama tells CBS’ “Face the Nation” that Trump’s comments amount to an admission that the USA “might not abide” by NATO’s “most central tenet”.
