Given the leaked version of Trump's speech tonight, he's attacking Clinton for being establishment. Doesn't she need someone who's perceived as anti-establishment, or at least a little colorful, like Franken? Literally the only good things I've heard about him are that he speaks Spanish and he's a member of the Foreign Relations Committee. Even Bernie would be a better pick than Kaine.
Who would not be part of the establishment? All Democratic governors and Senators are by definition part of the establishment. Obama cabinet secretaries are part of the establishment. Franken is establishment. Even Warren is part of the establishment. It's not like Hillary is going to pick a businessman as veep.
What Clinton should be more worried about is the optics of holding a convention with a long list of boring, bloviating politicians speaking. The list of DNC speakers released today is far too lengthy and needlessly full of longtime Democratic politicians. That will only reinforce Trump's attacks on this matter.
Good point. I have to admit the other top contenders mentioned are even worse than Kaine.
