If the worst they can do is spin his positions into being palatable for them, this could be the best pick in history.

(14,915 posts)The best they can do with this pick, is to make him sound like them, by spinning the fuck out of his actual positions. What does that do for them at the end of the day?

(32,812 posts)The base is the voters

(19,877 posts)Clinton/Kaine represent the base.

(25,454 posts)That's why they're called the base. This isn't complicated. Much of the base has been supporting Hillary all along.

(11,746 posts)And not only do we win, we show the Republicans that they must reform their stupid ideology. They already know we can out vote them. They are relying on voter suppression and gerrymandering.
We must make them pay for their cynicism. We must show them that it will never work for them. Then we get more of our agenda.

(7,820 posts)They're trying to court us disaffected Bernie supporters by making us not like him.
I wasn't particularly happy with the choice- but in large part due to some of your comments I'm gonna take another look at him.

(7,321 posts)but I did think it was interesting that a Libertarian Republican Congress critter Flake, from Arizona congratulated Kaine. I kinda of don't know what to think of that one.
