Truth. I would have voted for Hillary but I wasn't in her camp until......

I heard Tim Kaines speech today. My wife even stopped what she was doing to come into the room to listen more closely. He blew me away with his sincerity and background. When he spoke about the death of the holocaust surviving Professor at VT it even brought a tear to me eye and here I thought that I had become a cynical tough guy.
I couldn't be happier with him, Hillary and the progressive programs they spoke about.

He was amazing. Reminded me of Bill Clinton in his younger days. Giving a speech to a big crowd and he was talking like he was in his living room with a few friends. Amazing speech and he's a clincher.

Rebuild infrastructure......but most importantly his background, a willingness to make changes and his intelligence.
What an immature question.
