As news of the firebombing spread, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton condemned the...

Published: The Good Men Project (July 23, 2016) What is there to say about a vice presidential candidate like Tim Kaine? The man is so dull. To be fair, he meets the basic requirements of appearing on a presidential ticket.
