chuck'n'andrea: it's going to be Kaine

todd said ''he's not a DLC centrist-type, but he's not a Bernie supporter either''

you IDIOT! he's to the right of DLC, if not square in the center

what world are you covering?

he says there are already rumblings from the Bernie side of the spectrum, but they seem confident it will be him, to the point of not mentioning anyone else

so we got that going for us

13. TPP is dead; most sentient Democrats realize it.

Most also understand that Hillary was reluctant to embarrass a sitting Democratic president by grandstanding her opposition.
And I frankly question the judgment of anyone who classifies the Democratic candidate as any kind of evil, be it lesser or greater.

Funny how I haven't been hearing umbrage and outrage from the Purity Patrol about Dr. West's public betrayal of Democrats by accepting a position on the platform committee and then endorsing a non-Democrat for president in fit of pique over his inability to work with a coalition of Democrats.

Sorry, but I save my outrage for the outrageous.

a Democrat who grew up in a deep red state that has transformed into a purple one, his thinking has evolved in line with the electorate.

The deregulation thing has to do with smaller banks, not the bigger ones. Not that regional banks are any angels, but it's not a wall street effort.

5. Why would they delay an announcement if it's Kaine?

They want maximum excitement, sure. But Kaine brings none.

Still think and hope it will be Warren.

mine was Al Franken

hope he starts getting more visible on the trail, because he's probably the best at getting under the skin of those lying liars, and has a proven track record of standing up, instead of shrinking back
