Aww they didn't pick you boo hoo

Hillary wasn't getting my vote no matter who she chose, so I don't really care either way

What's funny is he has a long resume but no one has ever heard of him:

Mayor of Richmond (1998-2001)
Lt. Gov. of Virginia (2002-2006)
Governor of Virginia (2006-2010)
Chair of the DNC (2009-2011)
Senator from Virginia (2013-present)

The pick was clearly a "If I die whose experienced hands can I leave the country in" not a "who can I pick to get me elected" pick.

It's odd though, she probably could've had both.

This seems like a missed opportunity to give her campaign a jolt of excitement with someone like Booker, Warren or a Hispanic.

If Trump stays "Presidential" she may have trouble with minority turnout.

Trump will never be seen as presidential unless he can go back in time and change the last 30+ years.

Super bold of Hillary to select a jar of unflavored yogurt as a vp

And there could be a few freshman Democrats who would be open to the idea, too. Newly elected Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine told POLITICO Tuesday that he sees Obama’s decision as “a good faith proposal to deal with entitlement reform,” since it’s expected to have “safety valves for low-income people.”

To get a broader deal on issues like entitlements and tax reform, Kaine said, “we’ve got to put all options on the table.”

Reince has been putting in work recently

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus released his own statement casting Kaine in similar terms.

“Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine does nothing to unify a fractured Democrat base which is repelled by her dishonesty and cronyism,” Priebus said. “After spending last week pandering to grassroots Democrats with Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton has chosen someone who holds positions that she’s spent the entire primary trying to get to the left of."

Reince calling anyone out for cronyism, this is all a joke

Tim Kaine will never be President.

2020 race should be interesting assuming Hillary or Trump only serves 1 term.
