Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine says he never would have supported someone who treated his father the way Donald Trump treated Sen. Ted Cruz’s father.
Kaine said he was “not completely surprised” that Cruz endorsed the Republican presidential candidate Friday after several months of holding out.
But Kaine also expressed disbelief that, during the Republican primary, Trump had falsely suggested Cruz’s father was involved in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Kaine said: “If somebody said that about my dad, they would never have me as a supporter for anything.”
Kaine made the remarks Friday in Austin, Texas, at a news conference with Latino elected officials.

Man …
I really … REALLY … like this guy ! ----
proving once again that staunch bedrock principles of true conservative Republicans can be flexible when there is perceived political advantage…
interesting that another failed presidential candidate has sCruz running scared for his own political life… maybe he needs to hug a bottle of maple syrup and get some smart glasses too…
Kaine is awesome. But I wish TPM would find more flattering photos of the future second gay Vice President.
Well Tim, that’s because you know what loyalty, family and principles are really all about. Rafaél only talks the big talk, but in the end, he’s just a weak little man.
