At their first appearance together - since it was announced that Senator Kaine of Virginia would be former Secretary of State Clinton's running mate - the pair fired up thousands of dedicated supporters at an electrified campaign rally on Saturday, July 23rd, 2016 at Florida International University in Miami...and each of them brilliantly articulated the sentiments noted below. It was a spectacular event that bolstered and reinforced my confidence that Hillary Clinton needs to be...and will be elected...the 45th President of the United States.
"Donald Trump may think America's in decline, but he's wrong. America's best days are still ahead of us." HILLARY CLINTONSounding almost dictatorial...Trump egotistically boasted - in his acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio - 'I alone can fix it.' "He's not only wrong...he's dangerously wrong." HILLARY CLINTON
"We Americans...we solve problems together. And if Donald doesn't understand that...he doesn't understand America." HILLARY CLINTON
"In Philadelphia, we will offer a very different vision for our country...one that is about building bridges...not walls." HILLARY CLINTON
"We know there's nothing we can't accomplish...once we make up our minds." HILLARY CLINTON
"Senator Tim Kaine is everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not." HILLARY CLINTON
"(Tim Kaine) is a progressive who likes to get things done." HILLARY CLINTON
"Tim's lifelong commitment to social justice is a shining example of his faith in action." HILLARY CLINTON
"Tim has used his positions (in the United States Senate) to stand up for our veterans...and our values...and our men and women in uniform...and our security." HILLARY CLINTON
"At every stage of Tim's career...the people who know him best have voted to give him a promotion." HILLARY CLINTON
"(Tim Kaine) delivers real results." HILLARY CLINTON
"Tim also has a backbone of steel. Just ask the NRA. Over and over again, he has had the courage to stand up to the gun lobby in their own backyard." HILLARY CLINTON (Editor's note: the National Rifle Association is headquartered in Virginia).
(Tim) "fight(s) back against attacks on Planned Parenthood and defending women's right to make our own health decisions." HILLARY CLINTON
"Tim has led on some of the most important issues facing our country...from voting rights...to LGBT equality...to criminal justice reform...to comprehensive immigration reform." HILLARY CLINTON
"When someone (Donald Trump) says...'I alone can fix it'...that should set off alarm bells in not just Democrats' minds, but Republicans, Independents, people of all ages and backgrounds. That's not a democracy." HILLARY CLINTON
"We fought a revolution because we didn't want one man making all the decisions for us." HILLARY CLINTON
"We work together." HILLARY CLINTON
"When Donald Trump says he has your back...you'd better watch out." TIM KAINE
"Hillary Clinton is the direct opposite of Donald Trump." TIM KAINE
"Hillary Clinton...she doesn't insult people...she listens to them. She doesn't trash our allies...she respects them. And she'll always have our backs. That is something I'm rock solid sure of." TIM KAINE
"I'm one of only twenty people in American history to serve as a mayor, a governor and a United States senator." TIM KAINE
(Helping each other)..."that's what families do." TIM KAINE
"We've got to advance opportunity and equality for everybody...no matter where they come from...how much money they have...what they look like...what accent they have...or who they love." TIM KAINE
"We are so proud of our great nation. And isn't it great already? What a great country!" TIM KAINE
"God has created a rich and beautiful tapestry in this country. It is a rainbow of cultural diversity that embraces all people...regardless of their race or economic status...regardless of their religion or their gender...regardless of their sexual orientation or where they're from. We've got this beautiful country that should be a country of welcome...that should be a country of inclusion. And I know that that is a fundamental value that Hillary Clinton shares." TIM KAINE
About Hillary Clinton and himself...the Vice Presidential candidate says their "creed is the same. Do all the good you can." TIM KAINE
(Hillary Clinton has always been) "fighting for children and families...fighting for equal rights for African-Americans, for Latinos, for people with disabilities, for LGBT Americans." TIM KAINE
"From working with the Children's Defense Fund...to First Lady of Arkansas...to First Lady of the United States...to Senator...to Secretary of State...(Hillary Clinton) has always delivered." TIM KAINE
"Hillary and I are going to have a strong progressive agenda." TIM KAINE
"We're going to make the American economy work for everybody...not just those at the top." TIM KAINE
"We will make college debt-free for everybody." TIM KAINE
"Where are Donald Trump's tax returns?" (And has Trump paid his) "fair share of taxes?" TIM KAINE
"We're going to fight for paid family leave, equal pay for women and raising the minimum wage to a living wage." TIM KAINE
"To keep families together...we'll put forward a comprehensive immigration reform package that includes a path to citizenship." TIM KAINE
"Anybody who loves America this much...deserves to be here." TIM KAINE
On the "the horror of American gun violence"..."when the vast majority of Americans agree that we have to adopt commonsense gun safety measures...Hillary and I will not rest. We will not rest." TIM KAINE
"I've never lost an election." TIM KAINE
"Do you want a 'You're fired' President...or a 'You're hired' President? Of course you want a 'You're hired' President. Donald Trump is the 'You're fired' guy. We've got a 'You're hired' President. (Pointing to Hillary Clinton)." TIM KAINE
"Do you want a 'trash talking' President...or a 'bridge building' President? Donald Trump trash talks folks with disabilities...trash talks Mexican-Americans and Latinos...trash talks women...trash talks our allies...calls the military a disaster. But (Hillary Clinton) is a bridge builder President." TIM KAINE
"Do you want a 'Me First' President...or a 'Kids and Families First' President? With Donald Trump, it's 'Me First.' I'm not showing you my tax returns. I'm gonna run a university that will take people's money...and rip 'em off. Donald Trump was in Britain...when they cast the Brexit vote to leave the EU...and as the British pound - their unit of currency - was getting pummeled, he said, 'Hey this could be good news for my golf course.' But we've got a 'Kids and Families First' President. (Pointing to Hillary Clinton)." TIM KAINE
"They don't come any tougher...or any more compassionate...than Hillary Clinton. So let's go make history and elect Hillary Clinton, the 45th President of the United States." TIM KAINE
"Together we're gonna win this election and move our country forward." HILLARY CLINTON
The aforementioned quotes are just some of the many, many reasons why "I'm with her"...why all Hillary Clinton supporters are with her...why all Democrats...in fact all Americans SHOULD be with her...and why I am...and why all Democrats and all Americans SHOULD be...with them. Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine...our next President and Vice President.
Prior to the Miami rally with Senator Kaine...Hillary Clinton talked to a crowd of loyal voters in Tampa, Florida on Friday evening, July 22nd...and she promised Americans the following. "I will work everyday to make your dreams come true." I trust that she will for you...and I trust that she will for me.And that's The Controversy for today.
