2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: 5 things to know about Tim Kaine, Hillary's pick for her VP [View all]BlueMTexpat
(15,365 posts)and all those who contributed with more clarifications and information about Tim Kaine. I knew the major things: Virginia Governor, Virginia Senator and DNC Chair, etc.
But it is those VERY impressive "minor" things: fluent Spanish speaker, a year working in Honduras (somewhat like a Peace Corps experience - as a Returned PCV myself, I KNOW firsthand how such experiences can change one's perspective for the better), attending a mostly black church for 30 years, and having the great good sense to marry of woman with a strong passion for social justice and public education who has actually "walked the walk" herself. Etc., etc., etc.
What a TRULY WONDERFUL TICKET we have!
Kaine was not my first preference. We Dems are very lucky that we have the plethora of choices we do. I - almost - pity the GOP because they have NOTHING - NADA - RIEN! But Kaine IS Hillary's choice and he has some truly incredible pluses, IMO.
So count me as ALL IN FOR THE DURATION!
CLINTON-KAINE FOR THE WIN IN NOVEMBER!!!!!
