A statement from the campaign noted: “Nearly a week after Donald Trump’s divisive convention in Cleveland full of risky ideas and divisive rhetoric, Democrats will highlight how this election presents a clear choice between bringing communities together to build an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top, or divisive and unsafe plans that would harm our economy and national security”.

Donna Smith, the executive director of Progressive Democrats of America, told reporters she visited a local Democratic Party office in Philadelphia to retrieve the forms necessary to submit a challenger to Kaine.
Kaine left the stage without taking any questions.
“Our nation is too great to put in the hands of a slick-talking, empty-promising, self-promoting, one man wrecking crew”, he said.
Turning his attention to Trump, Kaine argued that while the businessman promises a lot, he never details how he’s going to do achieve any of the things he says he’ll do. “Well his creditors, his contractors, his laid-off employees, his ripped-off students did just that”.
Trump has a passion, “it’s himself”, Kaine said. Kaine said, as the crowd chanted “not one word”.
Clinton announced last Friday that Kaine, a sitting Senator for Virginia, would be her running-mate.
Kaine, a first-term senator from Virginia and the commonwealth’s former governor, called his Christian faith “the North Star orienting my life”. Tim Kaine, to drop the t-word. He was referring to emails on Hillary Clinton’s private server as secretary of state that she said she deleted – because they were private – before turning other messages over to the State Department. “He is very much someone who believes that Americans have a fair shot to be successful”, said Sen.
Beyond the comic relief, Kaine did offer more substance on why Trump can’t be trusted with the keys to the White House.
“We must love our neighbors as ourselves”, Kaine said.

Before being elected to the Senate in 2012, Kaine served as governor of Virginia. And turns out young Tim Kaine is super freaking hot.
