Hillary Clinton Chooses Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine As Running Mate (go.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from ABC News: Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine has been chosen as Hillary Clinton's running mate -- a man she called a "relentless optimist" who "devoted his life to fighting for others." Kaine has long been considered to be at the top of Clinton's short list. He was previously vetted for the vice presidency by Barack Obama in 2008. Kaine was an early supporter of Clinton's, appearing at a "Ready for Hillary" breakfast in May 2014 where he urged her to enter the 2016 presidential race. Kaine told NBC in June that he "encouraged her to run in May of 2014, because I could telescope forward and see some of the challenges that this nation would be facing. And I decided that by reason of character, by reason of background, and experience, but also especially by reason of results, she would be the most qualified person to be president in January of 2017." Prior to being elected to the Senate, Kaine served as governor and lieutenant governor of Virginia. In 2009, President Obama picked Kaine to lead the Democratic National Committee. Last week, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump announced Mike Pence as his VP running mate.
No, you're confused. No one is voting for Trump because of soca]ial conservative anything.
The reasons Trump has support (in no order):
1- he represents not more of the same
2- he is not a traitor to his country like HRC
3- he has never got an American killed through action or inaction
4- he didn't carpet bag the NY Senate seat
5- he says whatever he wants. he does not bow down to the racist SJW haters
6- he has worked in the real world. he is not a life long leach on the tax payers who never held a real job (HRC)
I could go on but none of the reasons have anything at all to do woth social conservatism. No one cares about that stuff. It's just noise.
This post is intended to be educational for normal people who don't understand the Trump movement. Anyone offended is likely a hateful racist SJW type. I'm happy if any of them takes offense.
