10. I'm resigned to Kaine being selected; but I desperately hope my gut is wrong.

Warren, Perez, Becerra and O'Malley would all be better selections. Hillary needs to go left. Use the VP pick to shore up the base and then she can position herself as the national security expert to attract those moderate Repubs who are wavering on Trump. There is no VP pick short of a disastrous Repub selection that will pull moderate Repubs into her camp.
