Hilly selecting a Dem establishment whitehouseboy for VP.
I heard a few strange things in the media about this,.
1. Since Hillary polls very weakly among white men, this VP choice is supposed to attract white men to vote for the ticket.
2. Since Kaine speaks Spanish, that is supposed to help garner Hispanic support. But considering that “diversity” is the Democrat talking point in recent years, is it really attractive to Hispanics that they found a white man who speaks Spanish, as opposed to an actual Hispanic candidate??
3. Kaine is supposed to be a calming moderating influence, because Hillary is so polarizing. Kaine is supposed to be a reassuring presence, a nuts and bolts type of guy who adds balance to the ticket, by virtue of being “boring” and non-controversial.
I heard he was a Catholic Missionary in Honduras, I guess that will attract the baby-killer "catholic" vote.
I’ve heard all that you mentioned.
Kaine (used to be Governor here in VA) is really unappealing to me. He tends to look ‘frumpy’ and like he slept in his clothes - maybe this is how he pulls off his ‘casual’ look or something .... and that’s before we get into his personal/political positions on anything. Hilly needed, most of all, somebody who would not upstage her AND Bill - Timmy was Bill’s first choice. Neither wanted an “attractive” VP candidate who could use this VP slot to springboard their own national careers ...... whitehouseboy Kaine will follow along in Hilly/Bill’s shadow, say “yes ma’am” and ask her if she’d like a pillow for her feet & if Bill would like another cigar.
