That is the case much of the time, but I think because both of the presidential candidates are flawed that the VP matters a lot more than usual.
I think Tim Kaine really balances Hillary--they think alike on a lot of issues, and they know and like each other. He's also the kind of nice optimistic guy and solid family man who appeals to suburban women. I think Trump and Pence are like night and day, do not complement each other and appear awkward together. Pence already appears to be somewhat uncomfortable. I have a feeling Pence and Trump will really dislike each other by the end of the campaign, and these are vibes that cannot be disguised.
