Great to hear your perspective, Riff!

Similar to mine.. I knew nothing about Tim Kaine except the basics and was actually bummed when I saw Hillary's choice. Wow did that change fast when I started reading and listening to his speeches about who he really is!

President Obama on Senator Kaine~

I never understood the description of Tim Kaine as vanilla. He's one of the most endearing communicators Democrats have.

I was blown away by Tim Kaine last night and today, AS!

I admitted I was bummed when I found out who she chose.. but, that's because I didn't know anything about him but the basics!

Watching Tim Kaine, I'm struck that he's great at skewering Trump while remaining genial. Destroying rivals pleasantly is a political art.

That's right.. Tim Kaine is a courageous choice because he's courageous..

all that "safe choice" talk is poppycock.

.@timkaine is as decent, honorable, selfless soul as you will ever meet. A man with the heart of a servant, who is "woke". @HillaryClinton

Mahalo, Randy~

Absolutely, Irrevocably!
