Nothing against Kaine in particular, as a Bernie supporter resigned to support Hillary, as the lesser of two evils, especially since she adopted key Bernie issues as part of the Democratic Party platform....
It isn't going to swing my wife's opinion where a Sherrod Brown or Merkeley VP might have moved the needle a bit.
Hard to see how this will hurt Hillary in the Dem base overall...
Not excited, and obviously little attempt to outreach to Bernie voters, most significantly middle-aged working and middle-class Democrats from rural and small-town America, where Trump will likely do very well.
End of day VP pick isn't really going to change the dynamics of the reach much, and both Trump and Hillary "took a safety" on their respective nominees.
