Point being, I suspect Kaine was chosen because he is not far left and perhaps those in the center might relate.

I consider myself a center left independent and I do think Kaine is more center focused and the fact that he is relatively "new" in comparison to Hillary is a complement to her IMO. I really do think she did her homework and picked a great VP candidate.

I also do think Pence is a solid GOP conservative, but I think he is much more likely to alienate moderate Republican (which unfortunately Trump has already done to a wide degree) versus Kaine being much more likely to bring in moderate Democrats along with smoothing bridges for moderate Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton with him on the ticket.

You may be right about Warren being Hils running mate. In comparison even Hillary might look sane and capable.

In the sad event Donny actually wins the White House I'd say Pence is very significant, I don't believe Donny lasst more than a year before getting bored, feigning some problem and resigning. And the Bible thumping Pence? NO! NO! NO! Thanks!
