Despite earlier misgivings, I'm fine with the pick. His record is undoubtedly good and he seems like a decent human being.

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.

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.
