The Kaine pick represents the last death of hope for the more radical wing of the Democrat party that supported Bernie Sanders and were hoping for a running mate such as Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Clinton is said to have been looking at other choices such as Senator Cory Booker, who is black, and Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez, who is Hispanic, but instead went with Kaine who is white, male and a consummate Democrat political insider — having served as the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2009 until 2011, in addition to stints as Governor and Lieutenant Governor of Virginia after beginning his political career as the Mayor of Richmond.
Already upset Bernie Sanders supporters wasted no time in criticizing the choice. As the Washington Post reported:
…on Friday, Norman Solomon, the coordinator of a group billing itself as the Bernie Delegates Network, called Kaine “a loyal servant of oligarchy.”
“If Clinton has reached out to Bernie supporters, it appears that she has done so to stick triangulating thumbs in their eyes,” said Solomon, whose organization claims to represent hundreds of Sanders delegates attending the convention in Philadelphia but is not coordinating with the campaign.
RNC Chairman Reince Preibus released a statement about Clinton’s choice for veep:
“Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine does nothing to unify a fractured Democrat base which is repelled by her dishonesty and cronyism,” said RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. “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.”
“Ultimately this is a ticket that represents one thing: four more years like the last eight, just with more corruption and scandal.

Unctuous. Always reminded me of Uriah Heep.
It looks like Hillary Clinton had reservations about choosing Elizabeth Warren as her running mate.— Aleister (@AmericanGlob) July 23, 2016
My guess is Obama made the pick for her. Bonnie and Clyde two-teaming it...
I’ve noticed not even fox is talking about hitlerys VP!! That bad huh??
Pence has that talk radio experience in his background. I’d think he’ll have the advantage in debates.
Didn’t Cain engage is massive voter fraud to get elected?
I wanted the fake Indian just for my entertainment.
I don’t understand this choice. Kaine doesn’t add much to the ticket.
Both Hillary and Kaine are insiders. Zero gain.
Both are supposedly foreign policy experts. Zero gain.
Both are white liberals. Zero gain.
He supposedly is a friend of the military (according to some). Slight gain (since he’s a liberal).
He speaks Spanish. Nice, but they already have most of the Spanish speaking vote.
I just don’t understand this pick.
Watch MSM twist themselves in knots trying to polish this turd into someone exciting
Can’t wait for honorable Pence to debate the gutter rat!!
Did he really win?
I don't see the talked about appeal to working class people.
The fake indian was just jealous because Trump has casinos also. ;-)
Tim Kaine called me one night.
It was a robocall. His message was Ken Cuccinelli is a bigot.
Kaine is a major league asshole.
I do.
Hillary had Reservations about Elizabeth Warren, Chief among those was she Brave enough to put on the War Paint and ride into battle.
Warren was angry that Hillary was an Indian Giver about the position, and wanted to Pow Wow with her, and maybe smoke the Peace Pipe and bury the Hatchet.
Maybe.... everyone but Hillary knows she is losing, and Caine is the only one that would join her on a sinking ship.
