The issue with Tim Kaine wasnt that the winning ticket idea is bunk, but that Clinton chose fucking Tim Kaine of all people. Who the fuck cared about Tim Kaine? Nobody.
Just like every other decision Clinton made, Kaine was the "safe" option.
He had good credentials, a good resume, a good liberal track record, a half-decent (but not exceptional) orator and looked like people imagine a VP should look like.
Clinton's entire strategy was that she would win the election if she didn't make any gaffes. That's where Kaine came from.
I honestly think the VP debates were the worst showing for Clinton, Kaine seemed ineffectual against Pence, and came off as a bit rabid with his constant attacking.
