JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: WHO IS TOM KAINE - HILLARY'S PICK AS VP - HAS MADAME DEFARGE LOST HER KNITTING?


COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY SABRINA SIDDIQUI IN THE GUARDIAN


I’ve heard him on the radio, and he's a rather insipid-sounding man, but of course Madame Defarge would not likely pick a forceful ego with which to share a room.

I’ve just checked out a few facts, and he does prove a genuinely odd choice.

First, as mentioned below, he is a booster of TTP. Not the kind of thing a lot of the Democrats’ base is fond of and fairly anathema to organized labor.

Second, he is associated with crime initiatives which put a lot of black people in jail over some years. Given her pretentions, and they are pretentions, of sympathy with blacks, this is strange. It’s rather in keeping with a comment she was recorded on video making years ago about “black super-predators.”

Third, and this amazes me, he is against abortion.

Of course, she is trying to appeal to some Republicans, but that is a desperate hope. Hillary is, without a doubt, the most disliked Democratic candidate in memory, especially by Republicans.

Maybe Madame Defarge has lost her knitting?
