[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop saying Tim Kaine speaks spanish so she locks in the Latino/Hispanic vote. It's offensive. [/quote]

How is it offensive? It's one of the reasons she chose him. She wants the vote of the recent immigrants.[/quote]

Does Hillary speaking English make her a shoo-in for you? Hispanics and Latinos pay attention to issues, too. People act like "OH HE SPEAKS SPANISH!" like that's all it takes to get that population to the polls. OLA! =/= votes[/quote]

To the extent that anyone is saying that, I agree that is ridiculous. It does make a nice contrast to the Mexican rapist/build a wall and make them pay for it theme from the other side however. [/quote]
Yes that is why they pick him...he speaks Spanish. Did you see Hillay grinning and laughing as he spoke. It was a slap down(Kaine being the anti-thesis Bernie's ideology)of the Bernie bros(even though over 1/2 of the younger Bernie supporters are women- nice demeaning term for anyone who supports Bernie) and a slap to the Latino/Hispanic voters(oh like this white male know your struggle he speaks Spanish!). [/quote]

What are you babbling about?  Kaine is a good choice on multiple fronts.

I get that the Trump supporters are trying to drive a wedge between Clinton-Kaine and the Sanders supporters, but Trump-Pence will never appeal to more than a very small fraction of them. [/quote]

I am the poster who said it was offensive. I am not a Trump supporter. Good god no. And I like Kaine, he is the first thing that has gotten me excited about this election season. I wish I could cast a vote for him for president. But all the glee over him speaking Spanish so that means they will pull the Latino vote is distasteful. [/quote]

Hillary Clinton has made her pick - Tim Kaine.
A senator, former Virginia governor and mayor of Richmond, he hails from a top battleground state and, as a fluent Spanish speaker, could help in another: Florida 
Kaine was born in Minnesota and raised in Kansas City, Missouri, where he often worked in his father's welding shop, but he came to Virginia after meeting his wife Anne Holton at Harvard. 
They have three children; their eldest son, Nat, is a Marine. Daughter Annella is a theater major at New York University, but not much is known about their youngest son Woody.

In June, Kaine acknowledged he failed to disclose that his stay at a Spanish resort was paid by a nonprofit tied to a lobbying firm. Kaine had helped organize and attended a conference in September 2014 hosted by the U.S.-Spain Council, a group that works to cement political and business ties between the two nations.
Kaine, who is the nonprofit's honorary chairman, later told The Associated Press that Senate ethics staffers advised his own staff that the council should cover his costs.
As governor, Kaine accepted more than $160,000 in gifts and paid travel, according to state reports. The gifts were legal under the state's permissive ethics rules, but his willingness to accept them could become an issue during the presidential campaign.
Among those gifts was $2,000 in travel paid by Dominion for meetings of two national governors' conferences and to watch George Mason University's basketball team play in the NCAA Final Four in 2006. 
Those niceties are legal under Virginia's extremely permissive ethics rules, but that didn't stop Donald Trump from calling Kaine 'corrupt.'

And? What does this have to with that I said upthread? Will recap for the slow comprehenders:

Spanish language skills do not automatically mean Latino/Hispanic voters

I like Kaine, he makes pulling the lever for Hillary less distasteful.

I was never voting for Trump. Not ever.

Anymore questions?[/quote]
