Clinton makes Tim Kaine to the position of Vice

The Senator is considered to be populist and popular. That could help Hillary Clinton with the voters, the distrust of her. Probably that is why she has chosen Tim Kaine as its candidate for the office of US Vice-President.

The new Duo: Clinton/Kaine

Tim Kaine, a former Governor of the state of Virginia to Hillary Clinton as a candidate for the office of US Vice-President. The Clinton announced via the short message service Twitter.

The 58-Year-old is regarded as an experienced political professional. He supported the candidacy of Clinton very early on, and was posting from the beginning as one of the favourites for the Vice. Kaine was the first mayor of Virginia’s capital, Richmond, before he became Deputy Governor and then, in 2006, the Governor of Virginia. Since 2013, he sits for the state in the U.S. Senate. Virginia in the Eastern United States is considered to be one of the may election crucial “Swing States”, which are difficult to predict, whether there are Democrats or Republicans achieve the majority of votes.

Man in the middle

With Kaine Clinton has chosen, in the opinion of American commentators was the safe option and not risk a political Newcomer. Kaine could attract as a so-called man in the middle with independent voters. In addition, he could lure from the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump frightened Moderate in the Republican camp to the Democrats.

Another Plus, this made Kaine for Clinton certainly attractive: He speaks fluent Spanish, since he graduated at a young age to be a helper of the year in Honduras. This is likely to arrive at the many Hispanics in the United States. In the most important Swing State of Florida, the population is given a share (originally) Spanish-speaking immigrants, in the meantime, with about 20 percent.

Election campaign fodder for Trump?

US President Barack Obama made Kaine in 2009 to be the Chairman of the Democratic party – what can be compared in the German System, most likely with the Post of Secretary-General. From his time as Governor and Deputy Governor also media reports on the acceptance of gifts. He himself had stated in his financial documents, travel, clothing, and other amenities for the equivalent of more than 160,000 US dollars accepted. In Virginia it is not illegal. Nevertheless, the American media expect that the Trump camp will be the case in the election campaign and run with it.

Ex-Secretary of state Clinton will be elected next week in Philadelphia is expected to officially for the presidential candidate of the U.S. Democrats. At the nomination Congress more than 4,000 delegates from 50 States will be areas, five outdoor and the capital Washington D. C. to participate. In the case of the Republicans Trump had made recently the Governor of Indiana, Mike Pence, to his Deputy.
