Kaine bothers the liberals for several reasons, including his support for bank deregulation.

In a tweet Saturday, Warren highlighted Kaine’s history, as a lawyer in Virgina, working to fight housing discrimination.
Kaine spoke for about 10 minutes at his homecoming, noting that he had launched his political career three decades ago in the same neighborhood when he sought a seat on the Richmond City Council.
An average of polls taken during the past month show Clinton, a former US secretary of state, holds a 44.6 percent to 42.6 percent edge over Trump, a NY real estate tycoon.
In those positions, he successfully pushed a smoking ban in restaurants in a state where tobacco giant Philip Morris is a major employer.
Mr. Kaine is a strong advocate of gun control, opposes the death penalty and favored the Iran nuclear deal. They seem to have no specific alternative candidate in mind, but they’re looking. Bernie Sanders (Vt.), the runner-up in the Democratic primaries – has focused on a handful of issues, related primarily to trade and banking.
Sheryl Gay Stolberg’s profile, “A Self-Effacing Senator In a Sharp-Elbows Era, ” at least edged toward accuracy, labeling Sen.
Sanders said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he would have preferred another person for vice president, but the choice was up to Clinton.
Norman Solomon, a delegate who supports Sanders, said Wasserman Schultz’s removal was unlikely to soothe those who back the Vermont senator. Are you egging on the Bernie Sanders supporters and delegates to cause a fuss here at the convention?
Most of the money was for political travel, such as $45,000 that Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign paid for Kaine’s airline and lodging expenses as a surrogate speaker. “But the Clinton-Kaine ticket is a persuasion disaster in terms of the male vote…”
“I don’t know what their convention was about, other than criticizing me”, she said. The first Clinton-Kaine event was a well-reviewed rally in Miami, where she praised him specifically and at length.
It was his first time at church since Clinton announced that he was her vice presidential pick.
The Democratic contender said her party’s convention “will offer a very different vision for our country” than Trump did at last week’s Republican national convention.
Kaine described himself as a “utility player” who can move into whatever role will best help the ticket – and administration.
Kaine’s progressivism is rooted in a civil rights and social justice tradition, Holsworth said.
Clinton and Kaine are expected on the tour to make the argument directly to those voters that Trump is the wrong candidate for them.
We wondered whether McDonnell’s gift-taking was, in fact, “a fraction” of Kaine’s. “And more than anything, that is what is ultimately required to do a good job in this office”.
We researched the online files of the Virginia Public Access Project, a nonprofit organization that keeps records of campaign contributions and financial disclosure statements filed by state politicians.

In a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, Moore – who is no Trump fan by any means – shocked the audience by predicting that Donald Trump would win the general election because of his appeal in the Rust Belt, essentially warning that many in-denial Clinton fans are dwelling in a bubble induced by a liberal echo chamber.
