Yes! What is giving me hope for this elections is:

One more for the road:

To all you saying he is pro-life: The dude is pro-choice.

To say nothing of us needing to #FlipTheSenateBlue. Her seat is more precarious, imo. Plus I love her in the chamber calling people out...

I don’t care if politicians are personally pro-life, so long as they don’t impose that on their constituents. That’s what “pro choice” means, after all.

Sanity/Stability 2016!

Kaine could be THE THING that pushes Hillary to victory in Texas. With Texas, she really doesn’t need any swing state to win.

I’m excited! But mostly because Tim’s brother, Stephen Kaine, was my cardiologist growing up in Kansas City. He saved my life, as well as many others. Awesome family!

So can we look forward to a repeat of Biden destroying Palin with this dude vs. Pence? Please?

Clinton’s announcement was unsurprisingly smooth

“pro life guy”

He also (and people forget this) made it to the final round of vetting FOR OBAMA. And he wasn’t even a Senator then.

jokes aside, I think he’s a practical pick. As much as I would have loved to see a Clinton/Warren or Clinton/Booker ticket, I can see how it would be too risky in an election year that’s been basically straight out of the Twilight Zone so far. I look forward to getting to know Kaine and his policies!

Good pick.

Just a reminder that back in ‘08, when Obama picked Biden, everyone was like “That boring old white dude?” And now we’re all like UNCLE JOE PLEASE DON’T LEAVE US.

He’s not an exciting choice, but he’s a practical choice. I’m okay with this.

it’s not really anyone’s place to tell someone what they should/shouldn't be doing with their reproductive organs

And then all the Open Carry apeshits open fire on the scary Middle Eastern guy.
