Tim Kaine gets warm welcome from neighbors
“From Atlantic City to his so-called university, he leaves a trail of broken promises and wrecked lives wherever he goes”.
Clinton chose to introduce Kaine as her running mate in the battleground state of Florida, waving to the large crowd of cheering supporters as they bounded on stage with their hands raised in the traditional sign of unity.
Not surprisingly, Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, praised Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick. “We can’t afford to let him do the same thing to our country”.

Munroe also said it doesn’t matter about the choice in vice president because it’s still ultimately a race between Clinton and Trump.
“We’re thinking about letting him get a solo”, Williford said. And if Donald doesn’t understand that, he doesn’t understand America.
“I alone can fix it!” said Trump Thursday.
