And in an appearance Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Sanders noted that, whatever their differences, Kaine was in his view far preferable to the alternative.
“On a statewide level, I think sometimes folks ought to take into account the benefits a home state gets from having a personal connection to the White House”, state Party Chairman Vince Insalaco said.
“Would I have preferred to see someone like an Elizabeth Warren selected by Secretary Clinton?” Additionally, Sanders’ supporters became disappointed with the DNC’s handling of the Rules Committee meeting on Saturday, where Sanders’ rules committee delegates hoped to abolish the party superdelegate that favored Clinton this election cycle.
