Take note of the fact that the better quality GOP VP candidates have largely declined to run with Trump, which suggests that they (correctly) see the nomination a booby prize.  Trump is left with a bunch of political C and D-listers who have little to nothing to lose.  LOL, no one worthwhile wants to run with him.  This is reminiscent of George McGovern, who was rejected by a number of Democrats when he asked them to join the ticket.

In contrast, I know of no prominent Democratic politician who has issued a Shermanesque statement about joining the ticket with Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, Kaine is definitely the wiser choice, by this point.

That was my thought.  Kaine is younger, a sitting U.S. Senator, has better foreign policy credentials, represents a diverse constituency in VA, speaks Spanish and is slightly more progressive.  If Vilsack is the pick, the Shirley Sherrod incident may not be very inspiring for African-American voters.
