Who? Precisely. People are not likely to ask that question again. The pope, of course, has not weighed in on the Virginia senator’s selection to run on pro-abortion Hillary Clinton’s ticket but the pontiff’s position on the sanctity of life is unequivocal.

A large portion of Kaine’s speech was dedicated to bashing Trump’s rhetoric and policy proposals.
Obama also said that last week at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, the speakers did not present solutions to pressing problems. Most compelling moments from 2016 RNC and DNC http://abc7news.com/politics/most-compelling-moments-from-the-2016-republican-and-democratic-national-conventions/1448572/ It was a week of the Democrats trying to offer a stark contrast to the Republican National Convention.
“I’m convinced the decisions she made she thought were fine at the time”, said Bottenfield. In Philadelphia for the summer to help take care of his grandchild, Goodwin said he hopes to see Clinton and Kaine continue to draw out the contrasting visions of the two parties as they hit the road this weekend. The speech was partially awkward because of the cultural gap between the Catholic Kaine and a crowd that is more secular and progressive – when he praised his Marine son and said “Semper Fi”, the audience didn’t seem to get the reference.
In Philadelphia, Clinton said that it was “kind of overwhelming” to become the first woman to head a major party’s ticket. “I take deeply and with great humility the responsibility this campaign imposes on us”. “I bet there were a lot of “Pope Francis Catholics” here before there was a Pope Francis”, Kaine said to applause.
Clinton’s bus tour included a factory stop at toy manufacturer K’NEX in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, whose product line includes engineering sets targeted at girls.
The primary focus of the bus tour is jobs and the economy, including a plan for the first 100 days of a Clinton-Kaine administration.
In an interview Thursday with C-SPAN at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, Holton, now 92, recalled that he was standing with his daughter in the back of a big classroom when she pointed out Tim Kaine.
Just as he did with “Little Marco”, “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary”, Trump wasted no time coming up with a nickname for the Democratic VP nominee: “Corrupt Kaine”.
Kaine mocked Trump’s voice and mannerisms as he launched into an attack on the GOP nominee’s proposals to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border to control immigration, and to tackle the Islamic State group.
In Pennsylvania and OH, that often means small towns that have suffered a slow exodus of manufacturing and other jobs that do not require a college degree. Deputy Secretary of Education Dr. Dietra Trent will replace Tim Kaine’s wife.
“I’m not satisfied with the status quo”.
“We’ve got work to do”.
But Kaine recently told the Weekly Standard that he had not been informed of that change.
“He doesn’t make a thing in America except bankruptcies”, Clinton said. He says he’s a fierce supporter of Clinton, but he wasn’t “fully on board the Kaine Train” until after he did his research and saw that the senator had “overcome old religious standpoints”.
April Cain, a longtime Virginia Democratic activist, told AMI Newswire that Kaine’s speech was a “limited introduction” to the person she has come to know through her years of involvement in state politics. Obama said Clinton is trusted by world leaders and will keep America safe. Clinton trailed by 19 percentage points among whites without college degrees (30 to 49 percent), while she led by 5 points among white college graduates (39-34).
