About tim kaine selection as Hillary Clintons running mate. It was probably the most presumed idea as her running mate. Did any of you watch that convention in cleveland . I did not watch the convention. I dont think thats a surprise. I got a lot of stuff to do. This angry ground hog came out and just vomited on everybody for an hour. This was an amazing convention. He sounded like some twobit dictator of some country that you couldnt find on a map. Hey, look, if i have kids that like me that much, how bad can i be, right . Are you bullying him here . Are you stooping to his level . It is hard to know where to start, isnt it . We have a really great chance of taking our country back. This country isnt yours. You doesnt own it. It never was. There is no real america. You dont own it this is the last word on campaign 2016. Hillary clinton did not add excitement to her ticket tonight but she did order a language span. But tim kaine carries none of the appeal that Elizabeth Warren would have. When he was publicly named as the v. P. , tim kaine was in the yachting capital of america, newport, rhode island at a political fundraising vant hev the single fanciest arena in the United States of mr United States of america. And the sanders rebellion seems to have been put down tonight. Josh barrow wrote clinton need as running mate who is like wall paper, present but not too noticeable. This election is shaping up to be a referendum on donald trump. Clinton is not very popular but trump is much less popular and shes going to be depending on votes from people who dislike her but feel they must vote for her over trump. The last thing she wants to do is pick a vp candidate who would become a pet hate for some of those voters or who would ditract from distract from trumps selfimmolat i dont know immolation. What rationales have you been hearing about all of the rationals. The two campaigned together in West Virginia last week. She was impressed by his style. He was the only vp candidate with whom she had two meetings. Ive been reporting on this for weeks now and tim kaine has been near the top of her list the entire time for all of those reasons. She does see him as somebody who will be a steady presence, a counterpoint to donald trump and he also helps in a key state like virginia and theyre having their kickoff event here because he does speak spanish. The Clinton Campaign says that he checks off all the boxes, which says to me that one of the boxes was not will bring us bernie sands aers supporters. I think what would have motivated the hispanic voters even more is to have somebody of hispanic descent. In terms of his progressive bone fidis, it not there. Ari, theres polls on of one of those people. There are two people who could help a little bit, one was Bernie Sanders, who wasnt on there and Elizabeth Warren and only one had a slightly negative impact, i suspect they would have no impact on the electoral outcome. So the calculation was not whos going to help me get votes. I think thats right. You know the clintons and the people around them. Theres a lot of polling and focus grouping but theres a larger strategic conversation about what is this all about in she now has picked a full on chamomille herbal tea. You wont find people who have big problems with him in either party, if youre being honest, because he is really a very calm, smooth, centrist senator. David, the floor is yours on the tea of your choice. Them sounds Like Fighting words to call someone chamomille tea. Im not saying hes as unprogressive as people are saying. Im not saying he is progressive but hes taken on the smoking in a tobacco state. He got into public life by doing great housing discrimination cases as a lawyer. Ultimately i think hes a decent guy and if you just lived through this Convention Like many of us did that having a smooth, decent person by hillarys side i think really further, further sets up this dichotomy between what you might call nonhaters and haters. The biggest mistake a Vice President ial candidate can make is making a mistake on Foreign Policy. He has a fair amount of experience in that front. In the v. P. Slib racials, theres a case made for and against every candidate and a case made against tim kaine, as they were having their discussions. So the case against them evaporated. What was the case against Elizabeth Warren, as you understand it, in their deliberations . Well, i think to some extent there were some concerns that she would perhaps overshadow the candidate. We saw them Campaign Together and really energized the supporters there in the room. Secretary clinton felt very good about that appearance but i think that was one aspect of it. They feel as though tim kaine is going to help her in a group where she really lags. Right now donald trump beats her with those groups. One nugget that i can report out to your conversation about tpp and trade, i spoke with a Campaign Official temperature theyre going to be pushing back that hes not progressive enough in the coming days. They said, yes, he did fast trick tpp. He has assured her his argument is going to be since the trade deal, thats his stance. So the democratic ticket is now unified in its opposition to president obamas trade deal because they dont think its liberal. It could go on and on about this but it is certainly the most liberal trade deal ever written in the United States. You have to be a opposed to all trade deals to be opposed to tpp. I want to get to the sanders support, nina turner. It seems that the calculation ultimately on Bernie Sanders supporter is were going to leave that to sanders and with Elizabeth Warren. We dont have to make Elizabeth Warren the vp nominee. We can just send Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren directly. Were talking about this like its a normal Election Year and its not. This is like terminator versus predator type territory. Donald trump could be in the white house. He doesnt understand what nato is. He wants to have a billionaire Foreign Policy and a billionaire domestic policy and everything is trust him, because hes going to cut crime and i dont think my analysis is looking at this like a normal year. The cln campaign is turning out no matter what. Tim kaine appeals to people outside of the party. Its a choice that lets you reach over to some disaffected republican. A quick last word on sure, they might be assured by elizabeth worner or sherrod brown. They wont back to the sem its look just keeping drft from the nuclear try thank you all. We could go on and on about then. Up next, Department Said his tv ratings last nighteth yop and we still have the weirdest then still have the weirdest then advice. Hey guys lunch is here its on me fellas. With the chase mobile app, Stephen Curry can send money to more people in less time. Thanks, steph no problem.

Is everybody out there . The trump train is all here, right . Twitter last night exploded. Facebook exploded. Instagram exploded. That is dan s. What about the bring us a review of last Nights Television ratings is not any longer the political did have have. That he thinks he is. Hes a wait smaller tv star than which is roughly the same viewership that mitt romney got in 2012. Remember, we have Larger Population than when john mccain was fess that. Sfsh you can prp. Speaking of facebook live. I am going to do a Facebook Lynch f but up next, senator al freak lynn will join us on the democratic ticket. Theres a lot of talk about who is going to be Vice President ial nominee on the democrat being side. Is there any democratic, any member of the Senate Democrat who would turn it down . I dont think so. He strikes me as the classic kind of catholic liberal within the democrat being party. Hes personal lippo post to abortion, yet supports abortion rights. He said trying to count the ways, i hate tim kaine. Drawing a blanc. Congratulations to a good friend. Im reading two things there. But im reading something more important about kim cain. I would say a raenl republican. Same thing. Go ahead. Talk about how jeff frak is willing to raich out is and what is the lest in that . And you know, there are those of us who work across the ill. In fact, most of us who do at some thing. But there some, like jeff luke, j, sfrmt because he doesnt knock down party lines, it doesnt mean hes not a real progressive and theres a lot of stuff you work on in the senate that doesnt cut across progressive versus conserve tip. It about getting thing son down. Tim was a mayor and he was a governor and hooves senator. Within this evening im soming about the Hillary Clinton operation and about her making the pro investigation imbut they could that i can find hard o believe is that there would be any hope with us. Ani sksd and they would losing a senate in the seat in maeches. I. Sfwchlt its about the ro lags shiepts. So she vetted a number of people very closely since, you know, modern Vice President ial chip was kind of invented by water monoday. It basically been the way it didnt, but you see we got the power esurance does insurance a smarter way, which saves money. Like bundling home and auto coverage, which reduces red tape, which saves money. When they save, you save. Thats home and Auto Insurance for the modern world. Esurance, an allstate company.

Its really unbelievable. Mike pence, hes really cast as a complete stooge who is being humiliated by the top guy on the ticket. Hoose been doing brilliant background work there in the trump speeches. Lets go to the big news of the night. Tim kaine, you wrote about Hillary Clintons risks as she approaches this election, including the risk of losing, which you think i agree with everyone else. Tim kaine could qualify as president. I think if the progressive cause think hes going to kprpt even if theyre harmful, whi whichits think if Hillary Clinton is going to win this campaign, she is the horn is go. Is a little bit more effective and shes going to have to have an appeal thats not a lawyerly appeal to the voters but an emotional, fiery alternative to this demagogue we saw lecture the in the nation last night. You will mott have a more liberal important is especially a store involving husband wife. I happen to know it painly because a prp ann holton how is now dims wang would pcht and hooves a republican governor. When people talk about today about how the Republican Party used to be the party of lincoln. He exemplifies it. While he was governor, bussings ordered in richmond, the capital often fedcy. He took he is child, an unmim stoud ent andin co. In inom. Basically tlefs brierch out of the republican heart anding a niesed fmt n spm and for this he had to borrow stephen colbert. That will be what the conservatives to do. Thats what for years they said they have hated about barack obama. One of the moe divisive president s in history. Hes a narcissist who has no grip on reality. A thin skinned narcissist with no government experience. Yes, thats sounds exactly like obama. And what does it all mean, frank . The word irony is terribly overused by its amazing because not only is jane hall correct of course but also John Stewarts daily show was really built on the model going bringing that ra to an end.

After college donald faced a decision, join his father in queens or dream big. Most other american who graduated college in america in 1968 had a very hard decision to make. Many of them had that decision forced on them by their government and their draft boards. Many of them made that decision voluntarily. The country was at war but youd never know that listening to john voights voice last night. 16,899 in 1968 alone, more dead american soldiers in vietnam in that one year in the total number we have lost in 15 years in afghanistan and iraq and donald trump had nothing but easy decisions to make because vietnam was not in his life plans. Donald trump avoided the draft and didnt ever consider enlisting. Secretary of state john kerry served two tours of duty in vietnam in 1968, having volunteered for the navy when he graduated from college. But thats just not something that trumps do. Donald trumps children have followed their fathers model and never considered military service. They, too, have made nothing but easy decisions in their lives after being born rich. They made the easy decision to go to work for their father, not to compete for a real job in the real world but to simply take their inherited places in trump world. Its not that donald trump never thought about vietnam. He once told howard stern being a single man in the 1960s and vying to avoid sexually transmitted diseases was his own personal vietnam. Thats what he told him. It was we will take care of our great veterans like they have never been taken care of before. Joining us now, general wesley clark, former nato supreme allied commander. Some people protested the vietnam war. Didnt do whats relevant. He avoided the service, had other things going on in his life and life went on without him. And as you say, hes wasnt the only one of his generation, but when it comes to taking care of veterans, ive looked at his plan and to me it doesnt look like a good plan. Its a plan that slides us into privatization of veterans care. These v. A. Hospitals, lawrence, are very, very better for our communities. Of course we want to reduce the world and waiting times, visited this many can. Its for our veterans and they deserve it. I have to get your reaction to Donald Trumps very unusual comments about nato. I dont want to characterize them. I just want to hear what you have to say about them. Well, they were very, very unfortunate. They have really worried our european allies on the border as the russians are they undercut the dirt curse . But ill tell you what when Hillary Clinton chose tim kahne tonight, that sends a very strong signal, not on in america but around the world because tim is a lifelong progressive. He cares about people. Hes going to take care of our veterans. His son is on the Armed Services committee. As the senator from minnesota said, hes been out there, hes worked for people and taken care of people, but he also knows and understand americas ent. Thank you very much for joining us tonight.
