Kaine: Being picked for VP feels like being 'kidnapped'
The Hill ^ | 8/6/2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Tim Kaine says being Hillary Clinton's running mate feels like being kidnapped.

Kaine spoke at a coordinated campaign field office for Clinton and local Democrats in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Friday, according to Politico.

Asked by Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) what it was like to be Clinton's running mate, he responded: "It feels like I got kidnapped."

Kaine, a Virginia senator, was announced as Clinton's running mate July 22. He held his first joint campaign event with her the next day, and spoke at the Democratic National Convention the following week — speaking just after Vice President Joe Biden and right before President Obama.

Very strange statement.

Kidnapped means someone else has control of you.

Kidnapped means you want to escape.

Kidnapped means there is some kind of deal....and it sounds like he made a baaaaaad deal.

Kidnapped also means "fear".

...Kaine: Being picked for VP feels like being ‘kidnapped’...

Anything is possible with the Clintons. Sometimes it ends in Ft. Marcy Park.

I guess that’s better than what’s happened to a number of other Clinton peeps...

Is the kidnapper demanding a pallet of unmarked bills?

So, this has to stick, doesn’t it? This is not something to let go of.

A rare moment of honesty for Kaine. He needs to work on his lies since he is working for Hillary now.

Don’t worry buddy, you’ll lose the Secret Service escort on November 9th and you’ll never have to talk to Shillery again.

It was a joke. Kaine was referring to the claustrophobic nature of a campaign with Secret Service protection and not being as free to talk at length with reporters on the trail as is his wont.

Tim, meet Sarah Palin.

I wonder what the media would have said if Sarah had said she felt kidnapped. Tim? No “gaffe,” just crickets.
