Kaine Pick Won’t Help Clinton Court Anti-Wall Street Critics

In selecting Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia over progressive favorites like as Senators Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts or Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Clinton is partnering with a lawmaker whose stances on finance and trade policies have sparked backlash from some of her most persistent critics.

After a bruising primary campaign in which Bernie Sanders threatened Clinton’s front-runner status by painting her as a friend of the financial industry, Clinton faced pressure from within the party to show her willingness to hold banks accountable. The decision to pick Kaine seems to leave her with work to do on that front.

Kaine was also one of 70 senators supporting a bipartisan effort to urge the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ease some rules on smaller banks and credit unions. His vote in favor of giving the Obama administration more leeway in sealing a trade deal with 12 Pacific Rim nations also has rankled progressives.

His “support for fast-track authority for the job-killing Trans-Pacific Partnership and recent backing of bank deregulation will make our work more difficult,” said Charles Chamberlain, executive director of Democracy for America, a progressive political action committee. He said he was referring to efforts to unite the “political revolution with the Democratic establishment to defeat Trump.”

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has campaigned on sharp criticism of trade agreements, posted on Twitter on Saturday that Kaine is “owned by banks.”

Since joining the Senate in 2013, he has drawn criticism for siding with President Barack Obama — against most fellow Democrats — in backing “fast track” legislation that could be used to expedite completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an agreement signed by the U.S. and other Pacific Rim countries.

So, What do Other Democrats think of Hillary’s choice? Already upset Bernie Sanders supporters wasted no time in criticizing the choice. As the Washington Post reported:

…on Friday, Norman Solomon, the coordinator of a group billing itself as the Bernie Delegates Network, called Kaine “a loyal servant of oligarchy.”

“If Clinton has reached out to Bernie supporters, it appears that she has done so to stick triangulating thumbs in their eyes,” said Solomon, whose organization claims to represent hundreds of Sanders delegates attending the convention in Philadelphia but is not coordinating with the campaign.

On Friday’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” former NAACP President and CEO Ben Jealous, who supported Senator Bernie Sanders said that its “not clear” how Clinton’s VP selection, Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA), will help Clinton win.

ealous said that Kaine is “a nice guy. He is not the most courageous politician. Just a couple of days ago, the Huffington Post, you know, pointed out that he’s pushing for greater deregulation of Wall Street, even though he was trying to become vice president, a time where people generally avoid controversial issues. He went right at one of the most controversial issues in our party right now. And so, you know, but he’s also quite frankly, he doesn’t inspire any clear — it’s not clear that he’s going to, you know, for instance, bring Virginia, He doesn’t bring any demographic. There’s going to be a lot of Latino voters who appreciate that he speaks Spanish, but know that they could have had Julian Castro, they could have had Tom Perez. He’s not going to bring the sort of fire of a [Sen.] Cory Booker (D-NJ). I mean, it’s just not clear, frankly, how he helps.

What does The Hill have to say about Kaine?

The moderate Democrat has backed abortion restrictions; supported fast-track authority for a controversial Pacific Rim trade deal; and just this week joined a push to deregulate some of the nation’s largest banks — all positions that are anathema to the liberals being wooed by the Clinton team heading into November.

Raising the stakes, the convention marks the end of a bruising Democratic primary contest between Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in which Sanders’s liberal supporters continuously bashed the former secretary of State for being too conservative on some of those same issues, including trade and her ties to Wall Street.

Hillary Picks ‘Boring’ Senator Tim Kaine as Veep

In an interview with PBS earlier in the week, Clinton pointed out that Kaine had never lost an election and referred to him as a “world-class” politician. When asked if he was boring, Clinton said, “I love that about him.”

So, the VP candidate Hillary has chosen is basically a Washington establishment ‘like-minded’ status quo politician who wont take the limelight away from her. Looks like the new Plantation owners are the same as the old.

But how does the other side see Kaine? RNC Chairman Reince Preibus released a statement about Clinton’s choice for veep:

“Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine does nothing to unify a fractured Democrat base which is repelled by her dishonesty and cronyism,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “After spending last week pandering to grassroots Democrats with Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton has chosen someone who holds positions that she’s spent the entire primary trying to get to the left of.”

Clinton Picks Tim Kaine as Running Mate

An interesting vice presidential choice. It seems like Clinton thinks Kaine can help her with blue-collar white voter like Joe Biden helped Obama. But this isn’t 2008, and blue-collar voters like Trump much more than they ever supported John McCain. Clinton may also be going all-in on Virginia, thinking that if she wins Virginia, the election is over. Kaine, an ultimate political insider who will face charges of cronyism and corruption after having received lavish gifts while he was Lieutenant Governor and Governor, reinforces many of Clinton’s negatives. She may regret not selecting Cory Booker or Julian Castro.

Clinton VP Pick Tim Kaine’s Islamist Ties

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s newly-announced running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, has a history of embracing Islamists. He appointed a Hamas supporter to a state immigration commission; spoke at a dinner honoring a Muslim Brotherhood terror suspect; and received donations from well-known Islamist groups.

Tim Kaine: Ban 15-Round ‘Clips,’ Hold Gun Dealers Liable for Misuse of Firearms

During the June 26 airing of Meet the Press, Kaine told Chuck Todd that he voted for an “assault weapons” ban before and “would likely vote for it again.” But he stressed that he believes “limitations on the size of magazines and ammunition clips” is the first step to take.

Todd asked Kaine if he believes the sale of AR-15 rifles ought to be illegal, and Kaine offered no direct answer, Instead, he suggested the problem with banning certain rifles is that the ban can be circumvented. Kaine said:

On September 8, 2015–just two weeks after Vester Lee Flanagan used a legally purchased firearm to kill news reporter Alison Parker on-air–Kaine put forward a bill to hold licensed gun dealers liable for the misuse of firearms. The bill was designed to “raise the bar” and require more “accountability” on the part of gun sellers. The Roanoke Times reported that Kaine’s bill “would make gun sellers criminally liable for a bad sale if they didn’t take reasonable, affirmative steps to determine the customer met federal criteria.”

Consider the scenario–Flanagan passed a federal background check for his gun. He passed the very same check that Hillary Clinton, Gabby Giffords, and others assure us will reduce crime and/or make us safer. But after passing the check and acquiring the gun, Flanagan carried out an evil deed. Background checks will never stop a latent criminal from getting a gun; they only stop actual criminals.

Yet even though the law was followed regarding Flanagan–a federal background check completed and passed–Kaine’s response was to push for more liability on the licensed gun dealer. In other words, he wants the gun dealer held responsible for what a buyer does after exiting the store with a firearm the FBI allowed him to purchase.

This is Hillary Clinton’s running mate.

Hillary has one “Yuge” problem. Bernie’s supporters have not given up yet and Bernie is right on her heels entering into the Convention and she is not completely guaranteed of winning the nomination next week.

Team of Grifters: Tim Kaine Reinforces ‘Crooked’ Hillary’s Weaknesses on Cronyism, Corruption

In an election cycle in which voters are revolting against career politicians like Clinton who play by a different set of rules and are associated with cronyism and corruption, Kaine is none other than a lifelong politician who accepted lavish gifts while he was Virginia’s governor and lieutenant governor.

Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer’s Clinton Cash made waves—and will continue to do so—by thoroughly documenting the cronyism and corruption associated with Clinton Foundation donations made—and speaking fees to Bill Clinton—during her tenure as Secretary of State.

Clinton’s corruption will be highlighted even more as voters discover some of the gifts Kaine had no problem accepting while holding public office.

According to the Virginia Public Access Project, Kaine reportedly “took advantage of the state’s lax gift laws to receive,” among other things, “an $18,000 Caribbean vacation, $5,500 in clothes and a trip to watch George Mason University play in the NCAA basketball Final Four during his years as lieutenant governor and governor.” The report found that Kaine “reported more than $160,000 in gifts from 2001 to 2009, mostly for travel to and from political events and conferences.”

Even the beltway-centric Politico mentioned that “while legal under Virginia’s unusually permissive ethics rules, the gifts could become attack-ad fodder after similar presents led to corruption charges for Gov. Bob McDonnell.” The inside-the-beltway outlet also mentioned that “Republicans could also use the records to portray Kaine as part of the self-dealing establishment in a cycle animated by hostility toward the political class.”

Michael Moore on Kaine Pick: Progressives Will ‘Stay Home’

Michael Moore: “Show me 1 voter gained by adding Tim Kaine. Att’n Hillary Campaign. It’s not Trump who will beat u. It’s the people who are going to stay home.”

Trump also took to Twitter to point out that the centrist Kaine, whose selection reportedly allowed Wall Street executives to breathe sighs of relief, represents the “opposite of what Bernie stands for.”

“Bernie fought for nothing,” Trump Tweeted.
