Clinton Picks Liberal Sen. Tim Kaine for Running Mate and Zzzzzzzzz…
Hillary Clinton has finally announced her choice for vice president on a Friday night when every journalist covering the story wanted to do literally anything else.
Dear @HillaryClinton : It is just about 4 pm on Friday and been a very long week. I would like to have a beer. Please advise whether I can.

Clinton’s choice? Senator Tim Kaine, D-Va. (F, 0%)!
Kaine has a long resume in Democratic politics. He was Mayor of Richmond, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, Governor, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and now serves in the U.S. Senate.
His candidacy solidifies the Democratic ticket as perhaps the most Washington-establishment-friendly ticket in American political history.
In terms of resume titles, has a ticket ever had more than Clinton-Kaine? SecState, Sen (2x), Gov, LtGov, Mayor, Councilman, FLOTUS, FLOAR.

The response to Clinton’s pick for running mate has been nothing short of “meh.”
"I am boring, but boring is the fastest growing demographic in this country." actual Tim Kaine quote

Not a Bernie supporter. Not happy with Senator Tim Kaine as Hillary's VP pick. Booker or Warren better pick. Dems need ENERGY! Boring!

Though, the Democrats who weren’t put to sleep by Clinton’s running mate were angry that he wasn’t enough of a radical leftist.
Did you guys hear? Being pro-life and supporting anti-worker "free trade" deals are now "progressive." #TimKaine

On us to push @timkaine & @HillaryClinton to keep progressive values. We're not willing to compromise on abortion. Let's make sure they know

Hillary Clinton's choice of Tim Kaine signals to Wall St she's open to passing the TPP. Vote Green to defend our jobs, democracy, & planet.

Don’t believe the Left’s Bolshevik/Menshevik spat. Tim Kaine is as liberal as they come.
Tim Kaine's voting record:
Planned Parenthood: 100%
Brady Campaign: 100%
NARAL: 100%
Human Rights Campaign: 100%
AFL/CIO: 94%— Peter Sullivan (@CitizenSullivan) July 22, 2016
He’s most famous for proposing a “minimum tax level” during a debate when he ran for Senate in 2012.
GREGORY: Do you believe everyone in Virginia should pay something in federal income taxes?
KAINE: Everyone pays taxes.
GREGORY: But federal income taxes?
KAINE: I would be open to a proposal that would have some minimum tax level for everyone. But I do insist — many of the 47 percent that Gov. Romney was going after pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than he does.
Hang on to your wallets folks. It’s going to be rough four years if the Democrats win in November. (For more from the author of “Clinton Picks Liberal Sen. Tim Kaine for Running Mate and Zzzzzzzzz…” please click HERE)
