Hillary Clinton named Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia to be her running mate Friday, according to a senior campaign official, selecting a battleground state politician with working-class roots and a fluency in Spanish, traits that she believes can bolster her chances to defeat Donald J. Trump in November.
It’s a good pick and someone who will provide some experience and he will help her win in some swing states. I have no problem with this.
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — After 14 months of policy clashes and moments of mutual disdain, Bernie Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination on Tuesday, clearing away the last major obstacle to a united Democratic front heading into the party’s convention this month and the general election this fall.

Sec. Clinton and Sen. Sanders have come together. I am pleased with this. We shall see how things go heading into the convention. Perhaps she will choose him as her VP running mate. Some aren’t thrilled with this but it is what it needs to be. Voting is important and we have much to decide in November.

I am supporting Hillary Clinton for President. However I do like Bernie Sanders. Both candidates have run a ferocious race and they are great candidates. Keeping Donald Trump must be the order of the election. America cannot afford to have him as president.
(I do respect the varied opinions here. It is my goal not to start a conversation that would lead to conflict. At the end of this thing we all have to go back to being friendly.)
I have been trying to decide who I will support in the presidential election of 2016. Today is the time when we need to move forward and do things to bring all people into the fold. Hillary Clinton I believe is that person. We cannot go backwards as a country only forward. I am with her. I am all in.
I am a Democrat and as a person who leans to the left I am struggling with whom to support for my party’s nomination. Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are in primary season trying to win the number of delegates to advance to face whoever the GOP is going to put up and that race is looking like a battle royale.
I am paying close attention to both and trying to figure out who would be the best person for the job. Both of them want the same things but with different policies and ideas. I believe its time for a woman to be president however I like Bernie’s ideas. Deciding on who to support will take a little more time. Maybe by “Super Tuesday” I will know or by then the clear candidate will be known.
We are in the midst of a political campaign here in the United States and I took a quiz on who I side with the most and Bernie Sanders was a bit of a surprise. Hillary Clinton is a very close second. I haven’t made up my mind between the two. There is no way I would back any Republican running because they are way too far to the right for my taste.
I don’t care who you support, just be sure to vote in the primaries and the general. Your voice does count.
