In reply to the discussion: JD Vance takes 'Worst VP pick EVER!' crown from Sarah Palin, and gets less likable every day [View all]cab67
(3,281 posts)23. I disagree with one claim made in the article.
Running neck-and-neck with Palin in the Ooof, that was a bad VP pick category is former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine...
Tim Kaine may not have been the most charismatic candidate Hillary Clinton could have chosen, but unlike Palin, Kaine showed evidence that he can read and write. He clearly went to school and paid attention. He knows how the legislative process works. He wasn't trying to draw attention away from his running mate, as though it was reality TV. He didn't quit his office after losing the election to extend his concluded welcome on the speaking circuit. And he supported decent policies. So it's not even close.

He's the perfect symbol for the GOP to represent their brand of toxic assholery

The writer really describes the creepiness and "stay away" factor pretty well
