....Hillary is going for a landslide...

Kaine was chosen because Hillary is throwing the long bomb. Madame
Badass is going for the North Carolina Strategy. Donald Trump has not
pivoted and proved Thursday night that he will be as insanely vitriolic
as ever throughout the general election. This means Clinton doesn’t
need to shore up her Left… The Donald will keep doing that for her up to
election day. After his convention is there any doubt that ALL
progressives will rally against Trump? Hells no.

Heck, after this week many Reds will be rallying against Trump.

This guy is threatening the sitting Republican governor of a swing state
he desperately needs to win this fall, knowing that he’s depending on
the state party to do most of the legwork for his skeletal ground-game
operation. Does he have clinical brain damage?

Donald J. Trump spent the week scaring every white rural male in ‘Merica
with tales of rabid colored folk (all colors but pink… and orange
count). We learnt that unemployment and violent crime have gone way up
the past 8 years and police are fighting a running street battle for
control of our cities. Our taxes are the highest in the world while
wages for “real Americans” is now, apparently, below that of Mexico…
which is populated by brilliant deal-makers who have robbed us blind.

The only people more scared than white, rural, male “real Americans” are ….

EVERY FREAKIN’ BODY ELSE!

Madame Secretary knows she doesn’t need to rally the base because Trump
is a human-base-rallying -bomb. I do not worry that my son will vote
for Gary Johnson this November if there is a snowballs chance Donnie
Darko could win. Ohio is going to be a wasteland for Trump thanks to
John Kasich. Pennsylvania will not be close. Sanders (my very moderate
wife pick) or Warren (mine) might gin up the base an iota but Hillary is
pushing this campaign deeper into rebel territory than General Sherman.

I call it the North Carolina strategy because Kaine's Virginia is
probably already baked in the Blue cake. Hillary is going to play for
all the college educated non-crazies in the middle who agree with the
Washington Post, that Trump is a very real threat to the nation.

Kaine is as progressive as a VP needs to be. This will be the Clinton
White House. Kaine doesn’t believe in abortion, for example, but he
believes that isn’t his decision to make for a woman. That’s how it’s
supposed to work. You can talk to moderated independents and
Republicans like that and get your point across. A lot of us think of
Howard Dean as a great progressive, and we love the notion of his
50-state strategy but we forget how many blue-dogs he recruited to give
Nancy Pelosi her gavel. You can’t mock the gun rack and ask for the
vote at the same time.

A lot has been made that Kaine speaks spanish. A former Jesuit student
he also speaks religion. A former mayor and governor of Virginia, he
speaks Southern (not the accent, the intent). He is an unintimidating
bridge to a middle ‘Merica that doesn’t have a rational party anymore.
Ask the right way and North Carolina is ours, Arizona and Georgia can be
ours, Tejas can be ours. Both houses of Congress can be ours.

Hill aint playing it safe… she’s going for a landslide people.
