It will be interesting to see if those “feeling the Bern” are more energetic in Philly. They’ve got a lot to be pissed off about after the Wiki document dump showing the DNC sabotage of their leader & Hilly selecting a Dem establishment “whitehouseboy” for VP.
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.
