Clinton picks Kaine for veep

[psychprofessor]

at least there's this:

Kyle Kondik

With Kaine as the VP pick, Crystal Ball moves Virginia Electoral College rating from Leans D to Likely D. Explanation to come

Not the most exciting pick but I'm open to hearing his speech on Wed and I like his background of mission work in Honduras.

The Bernie folks are ticked. They'll pull shenanigans.

Bernie and Tim Kaine are good friends lol

kaine will provide great outreach into the latino community and dominate spanish language television. he also provides legitimate  social justice cred; has a son in the military, is catholic and spent a year in honduras on a jesuit mission. when republicans across the aisle have nice things to say about you, i think you made a pretty good pick. in the year of chaos and both candidates having high unfavorables, having someone on the ticket that, you know, is actually nice and has an optimistic demeanor may go a long way...
