Clinton And Kaine Make Very Normal Debut as Running Mates
Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine, made their debut on Saturday, after Clinton broke the news of their ticket partnership Friday night. The team showed up nearly an hour late at the Florida International University in Miami to discuss how great they are and why you should vote for them.
Clinton, unlike Trump in his recent appearances with Mike Pence, permitted her running mate to speak.
According to the New York Times, Kaine infused his speech with some Spanish phrases such as, “Somos Americanos todos,” which means “We are all Americans” (Kaine speaks Spanish!).
Kaine also said a true thing about Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump: “He leaves a trail of broken promises and wrecked lives wherever he goes.”
“Tim Kaine is everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not,” Clinton told the crowd.
A person? White? Straight? A man? No, none of these would have made a bit of sense.
“He is qualified to step into this job and lead one day,” Clinton finished.
