DNC Chief Doubles Down, Says Democrats 'Nuts' To Run From Party
Democratic candidates who are shunning their party and its policies are "nuts," Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine said Thursday.

In an interview with Fox News to air Thursday night, Kaine said that Democratic candidates should "be proud of accomplishments" while on the campaign trail, even though President Obama and most Democratic policies are currently unpopular with the public.

"I do think Democrats thinking that they can, you know, hold the Democratic label at arm's length, I do think that's nuts," he said. "You put the label after your name, be proud of it."

Kaine made similar comments in August, but his most recent remarks come as several endangered Democrats have gone to extreme lengths to distance themselves from the party in an effort to appeal to voters in their conservative-leaning districts.
