He wasn't a good pick, as she should have picked someone to energize non-white and/or younger voters, and also ideally someone from a more electorally important state. From her reported short list, I think Booker or Castro would have been a better pick.
But I would disagree with the notion that he was a terrible pick. The first rule of picking a VP is to do no harm, and Kaine did no harm. He was clearly qualified for the position, and he never dominated the news with gaffes, scandals, or a terrible debate performance. With his experience/ties in the Senate, I also think he also could have been a real asset for the Clinton administration had Clinton won.
