Tim Kaine: Hillary's Wise Choice (Dov S. Zakheim, The National Interest)

Hillary Clinton’s choice of Tim Kaine as her running mate may not have reversed her overwhelming unpopularity with the American public. But it underscored the contrast between her professionalism and the rank amateurism that Donald Trump displayed throughout the Republican convention and its aftermath. Clinton could have pandered to the Democratic Left, much as Trump has pandered to the extremist Right. She didn’t. Instead, she chose a man whose public-spiritedness and essential decency is so widely recognized and appreciated that many of his Republican colleagues in the Senate were lining up to congratulate him.
