Well, that was almost as inevitable as Hillary's nomination.

I've been saying Clinton/Kaine since November 2014, lol. Before that I thought Clinton/Warner. Tongue

The Bernie folks are ticked. They'll pull shenanigans.

Just like Cruz staged a delegate revolt?

The campaign's internal polling for Virginia must have been dire.

Trump's internal polling for Indiana must have been dire. Obama's internal polling for Delaware must have been dire. Bush's internal polling for Wyoming must have been dire.

Well, I hope the Clinton campaign knows what they are doing. I'm assuming they did a lot of testing and polling and focus-grouping. I'm not really enthused about Kaine and I'm concerned playing it too safe/cautious will cost her the election. The Dems have a long history of losing when they are boring (Dukakis, Gore, Kerry) and frankly, being too cautious and safe is why Hillary got stomped by B. Obama in 2008.

Seems kind of odd to draw broad conclusions based off 2000 or the 2008 primary considering they were decided by a knife's edge. You must have a very strange definition of "stomped."

It's not strange at all. The RNC knows they can manipulate the Berniebros like silly putty. I still remember back in early 2015 when there were articles about how the right was baiting the left, particularly on the internet, into hating Hillary. I'm sure they've had more success than they ever could've dreamed of back then.
