Trump benefited from the picking of mild-mannered, old guard Pence; it helped to bring social conservatives and more traditional Republicans out to vote for him and provided a good contrast to Trump's erratic behavior. In Clinton's case though, I think she would have definitely benefited from a more enthusiastic VP pick like Elizabeth Warren or someone of that grain. Hillary already had a problem of coming off as inauthentic, robotic, and cold. Picking someone with similar traits as her VP was a terrible decision.
This. Pence was objectively a very good VP pick. Kaine wasn't.
I think Hillary wanted someone who she could work with and get things done. Kaine might of worked if her public persona was better. There were many better choices. She needed someone young and more dynamic. Some of the others choices might of overshadowed her,but that might be more of a positive than negitive, because the more people are reminded of her, her poll numbers drop.
I think Pence was the best pick for Trump.
