Sanders delegates exploring challenge of Kaine selection

[Common]

Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders are moving toward a challenge of Sen. Tim Kaine’s selection as presumptive vice presidential nominee, accusing Hillary Clinton of failing to roll back “some of the worst neo-liberal policies” with her choice of running mate. “There’s serious interest right now and exploration as we speak of a formal challenge,” Norman Solomon, a California delegate and national coordinator for the Bernie Delegates Network, said at a news conference Monday. The network represents about 1,250 of the 1,900 delegates that have pledged support for Sanders.


Kaine’s selection riled Sanders supporters, who accuse the Virginia Democrat of being too closely tied to Wall Street and fault him for his past strong support for trade deals.
This past weekend, a Kaine spokeswoman confirmed the senator’s opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership in its current form, reflecting the same position as Clinton on the pending deal.
Meanwhile, Clinton will fan out into the Rust Belt immediately after this week’s convention to reach out to rural, working class voters, Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon said at a separate news briefing today.
Clinton has stops planned in Harrisburg and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and in Youngstown, Ohio, where she’ll try to appeal to a demographic most targeted by Republican nominee Donald Trump’s populist message on trade.
The message at the opening night of the convention will be on economic growth.
“What we’re focusing on tonight is how to get this economy working for everyone and not just those at the top,” Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said at the briefing.

The dems are already tight with Wall Street. Does anyone remember that Wall Street gave a lot more money to Obama than they did to McCain for example? And then coporate welfare didn't end as promosed? Hummm almost as though the two major parties say different things but do the same things. Why would that not also be true within one of those two major parties" ?
Election issues we will face AGAIN in 2020 include
1) A house of cards economy with huge trade deficits worsened by our push towards globalism
2) Illegal immigratration: Yup it's not going to be stopped or settled.
3) Near constant war for obscure reasons , half a world away, never producing anything close to a stable government.
4) For further information simply look at this election cycle's issues and hit replay

They can and should pursue all ways in which they can get Sanders on the ticket. That said, seems futile by this point and a little desperate.

What people dont want to accept is that Sanders supporters are angy at many levels about many things. Its not just one.

They are mad at the way he was treated by the media and the DNC
They are angry at his not being picked for VP
They are angriest about the emails and debbie wasserman

This rift goes deep and it would be silly to believe hillary wont lose some votes over it.

Not only with some bernie democrats but ESPECIALLY with bernie independents
