Хилари Клинтън, която практически си осигури номинацията на Демократическата партия за президент на САЩ, избра сенатора от Вирджиния Тим Кейн за кандидат за вицепрезидентския пост. Тя съобщи в Туитър, че е избрала Кейн - "човек, посветил живота си да се бори за другите". Очаква се двамата заедно още в събота да участват в предизборно събитие в Маями, Флорида, предаде Асошиейтед прес.
Кейн се смята за опитен политик с неопетнена репутация. В официалната биография на 58-годишния Кейн се казва, че той е "един от 20-те човека в американската история, които през живота си са служили като кмет, губернатор и сенатор". Цялата му политическа кариера е свързана с Вирджиния: бил е кмет на щатската столица Ричмънд, после вицегубернатор и губернатор на щата, а от 2013 г. го представлява в Сената. Член е на четири комисии в горната камара, в това число за въоръжените сили и външната политика.
По образование е юрист, завършил е Харвард, говори испански, жена му е министър на образованието на щата Виржиния, двамата имат три пораснали деца.
Официално кандидатите на демократите за президентските избори ще бъдат утвърдени на конгреса във Филаделфия следващата седмица.
Клинтън се обадила по телефона на Кейн, за да му каже за избора си, около 40 минути преди съобщението, и малко след това се обадила и на президента Бара Обама, предаде Ройтерс.
В интервю тази седмица Клинтън заяви, че макар Кейн, според собственото му признание, смята себе си за "скучен", тя няма нищо против. "Аз харесвам това у него", каза тя в интервю по Си Би Ес Нюз. "Той никога не е губил избори, беше кмет, губернатор и сенатор от световна класа и е един от най-високо уважаваните сенатори, които познавам".
Клинтън го описва като "непреклонен оптимист, който вярва, че няма неразрешим проблем, стига да свършиш необходимата работа за решаването му".

Демократите трябва да си извадят някои поуки-прекалената либераизация в муждународните отношения,предимно с Русия,доведе до нейната агресивност и довъоражаване.
евентуална победа на Клинтън ще е начало на шуробаджанащина по американски. Такива неща стават на Балканите и бившите съветски републики където едно семейство властва в политиката. Това е регрес от демократичните принципи на свободните народи. Не е чудно че ДП излъчи един почти комунист за кандидат. Ако на това не се казва криза на идеи здраве му кажи. Тръмп значи НОВА КРЪВ, НОВ ПОГЛЕД, НОВ ПЪТ. Дискредитиран и неприеман от свои и осмиван от чужди той крие потенциал за нещо различно и свежо. И да се поучим от практиката ни- онова което се говори предизборно не е това което се прави след изборите.
