In reply to Mr.BD. Big surprise she's a crook. I'm not a democrat but I know Bernie got shafted.

CNN just said Debbie Wasserman Schultz is not going to speak this week after all. She got booed so bad this morning in front of a committee that she was embarrassed. I don't know what made her think she could speak and everybody would listen. These Bernie people would boo her off the stage.

When I first heard it was Tim Kaine I have to admit I was not real excited. Then I heard him speak over the weekend and it made me interested a little more. But the points DJ made about him appealing to white men and coal miners and all makes a lot of sense. I remember when Obama won there was talk he needed a white man by his side to calm some people who wasn't ready for a black president. Well it looks like Hillary needs a white man too because a lot of people aren't ready for a woman president. So Kaine can focus on people in Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a lot of the same people who are going crazy for Trump. In the end he is a good choice.

In reply to Truthiz1. Hey Truth they did try to fire her a long time ago. I remember hearing about Obama calling her to the White house to fire her. But he can't because it has to come from the whole committee. But I think it's stupid for her to resign and then stay until Thursday. Something tells me there is more going on here. It's about money or some support in Florida or something. Maybe she has secrets on Hillary and could expose something if they don't let her stay, I don't know. I just got that feeling in my gut that something else is up. Otherwise who let's somebody quit but keep coming around for more days.

Aside from the Debbie Wasserman-Schultz scandal, what do you think of the Clinton-Kaine pairing? […]

Truth is, before it was made official, I was not hyped about Kaine as Hillary's VP pick. But I had an opportunity to sit and hear him speak at their joint rally in Miami on Saturday…..and then I did my own research of his bio….and I have to admit, the man is quite impressive. Not just his governing knowledge and skills. But also his personal history. His aptitude and fitness for carrying out his job duties whatever that job may be.

For example, in addition to presenting as a good family man and devout man of faith, he seems genuinely dedicated to achieving racial and social justice for ALL Americans having devoted 17 yrs of his life to fighting for the victims of such injustices through his private law practice. In other words, he appears to be a man of genuine high moral character.

Btw- Kaine and his wife still attend the same (predominantly BLACK) Catholic Church they've been attending for 30 years.

I now find myself, hoping (and praying) that HE will be able to keep Hillary and her campaign staff on the straight-and-narrow (if you will) and Out of trouble going forward.

I hope (and pray) that Kaine truly has Hillary's ear and that HE can prevail in giving her wise counsel and be the voice she trusts most in the room. NOT Bill.

The future of this country is at stake. WE can't afford the arrogant and stupid-azz games the Clintons love to play.
