Trump goes on attack against Clinton running mate Tim Kaine; Democratic delegates weigh in on pick

WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump's campaign already has a nickname for Hillary Clinton's new running mate: "Corrupt Kaine."

The Trump campaign calls Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine "ethically challenged," citing a Politico report that he accepted $160,000 in gifts from 2001 to 2009, when he was Virginia's lieutenant governor and governor.

Trump's senior communications adviser Jason Miller says "the Status Quo ticket of Clinton-Kaine wants us to believe in a rigged system that enriches them at your expense."

Earlier Friday, Trump sent supporters a text calling Clinton, Kaine and President Barack Obama "the ultimate insiders."

Clinton announced Friday night that Kaine would join her ticket. The running mates will campaign together in Miami on Saturday.

Meanwhile, delegates to the Democratic National Convention are giving mostly positive reviews to Hillary Clinton's choice for vice president, saying he will appeal to moderates but do little to soothe disenchanted Bernie Sanders supporters.

Kaine is receiving praise for his wide-ranging experience, even as many delegates acknowledge he won't generate the level of enthusiasm or party unity as a progressive or a first-ever Latino pick. Sanders delegates in particular had hoped for the selection of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who aligns more closely with Sanders on positions such as regulating Wall Street.

Sanders endorsed Clinton last week.

Clinton superdelegate Katie Naranjo says that while Kaine may seem like a "conventional choice," he will balance the ticket well for the general election.
