Team Clinton’s Overconfidence
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 26, 2016 | Jason L. Riley

Posted on 07/26/2016 4:31:19 PM PDT by Innovative

On Friday, Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine as her running mate projected confidence. By Monday, it looked more like overconfidence.

For more than a month, Mrs. Clinton and her allies have been running campaign ads in battleground states, and Mr. Kaine, a senator from one such state (Virginia), is a potential plus in nearly all of them. His bilingualism could enhance her appeal among Hispanic voters in places like Florida and Colorado. His Roman Catholicism could help her in swing states with large Catholic populations such as Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. As a former governor of Virginia, Mr. Kaine brings executive experience and regional appeal in adjacent North Carolina, a state that Barack Obama carried in 2008 and that could be in play again this cycle.

Hillary Clinton is a liar and must be placed in jail.

So people vote for their language and their religion huh, Jason? Instead of policies? Those are sure not the first things I look at when deciding who’s best for the country.

Why not? They’re already voting for genitalia.

If Kaine is not corrupted yet, rest assured he will be. Follow her wake of wreckage: DNC,State Department, Clinton Foundation, Bhengazi, Her dismissal from Nixon’s Impeachment committee.

Voting for the vice president has a precedent. Remember Palin?

I do not think that Mr. Kaine can call himself a Roman Catholic because he supports the killing of babies in the womb.

Even if delusional Hillary loses the election, she will
lapse into a miasma of feminine delusion and have visions
of being sworn in as POTUS, then pretending to be at the
President’s desk all day, then walking back “home” with
Billious, FLOTUS of the land, then forcing Bill to hire
personal chauffeurs to whisk her around to imaginary
meetings every day - and maids, and chefs, and ladies in
waiting to bathe and dress her . . . . This is scary.
Gotta stop. %(

The pick is nothing short of desperation. She’s pathetically going after the demographic that hates her the most. No VP could sway me to her, but if she wants white men (I don’t count sissy manginas) she’d have to do better than this clown.

“All of them suffer from illusory superiority...”

The basis for psychosis.

IMHO

The more that I think about it.... The statement by John Kerry (Sec. of State) that air conditioners are as big of risk as ISIS....

Heck, pull the plug on the HVAC in Federal buildings.

Let the Federal (or is it "feral") bastards sweat.

At least at the State Department. Lead by example, John Effin' Kerry!

Kaine took over $160K in “gifts” as guv, which without proven connection to pay for play is legal in the state.

He already knows corruption.

They all act confident, they have to. Up to the moment of defeat.
