As I said in the other thread, this is a terrible pick and I don't know how I'm going to vote this November now.

Why? It's not like you'll be seeing a lot of him or hearing him much as opposed to Hillary. In all my years, who the VP is has never been much of an issue with me. Except for the Dan Quayle years. He was an embarrassment, but Kaine certainly is smart, articulate, loyal and a decent human being.

He's pro-TPP.  He favors one of the first things Hillary would renege on.

I don't live in a deciding state anyway, so I can vote my conscience.

North Caronlina isn't a swing state?

Democrats don't need it to win.

It's literally the 4th most likely to be a tipping point state in 538.

Like this could happen?

Edit: Also, Kaine hasn't said how he'll vote on the TPP; he says he has concerns about the dispute resolution mechanism.

If that's true, please provide a link, because that's what's keeping me from embracing Kaine for anything right now.

MSNBC just reported that Kaine has made it clear that he will now oppose TPP as part of the Clinton ticket.

Excellent.

I listen to a popular, progressive, and union friendly talk radio show in the Madison, WI area (with a big enough signal to go into Northern Illinois and Eastern Iowa) and anti-TPP and anti-free trade is the main issue on almost every show. The issue resonates with people.

People it resonates with should vote Trump.

Asinine, I have to tell you that you are an absolutely terrible advocate for your causes.

We already have free trade agreements with the countries in the TPP.  Opposing the TPP is not the same thing as being anti-free trade.

Plus, the burden should be on the supporters of TPP to justify it being ratified.  It's not in place now and we don't have "protectionism."
