"He should not have done this without coming to Congress," Kaine said. The strikes took place around 8:40 p.m. Eastern time Thursday night and were only confirmed following the attack. While some members of Congress were notified of the strikes, the majority found out through press reports, Kaine said. That's unacceptable under the Constitution, the Virginia Democrat said.

Wow, for once IMHO CNN did a decent job. Kaine kept trying to say Trump failed to work with congress to declare War. The CNN guy (I do not know him) kept saying congress has failed for years to declare war. To the best of my knowledge the last time congress actually declared war was WWII.

In last week’s presidential election, Hillary Clinton lost nearly all the swing states. However, Clinton managed to cling to Virginia — the home state of her running mate, Sen. Tim Kaine (D). Did Kaine’s presence on the ticket help save Virginia for the Democrats? We believe it did. Some political science research argues that vice-presidential candidates do not significantly impact the vote — even in their home state. In contrast, our research shows that VP candidates add an average of nearly 3 percentage points to their ticket’s vote in their home states. Our research relies on a new approach to...
