Dumb. All because of a bad night that the media turned into a storm. Real world performance metrics were actually quite good for Joe. The Republican candidate says stuff on par with a semi-comatose baboon every time a microphone is in front of him. Supporters of this are oblivious to how much seething sexism and racism lies just under the surface in the US. This was a big part of how we got into this mess in the first place and why estimates for Hillary’s success were so far off. It will be an incredible win if she pulls this off, but it’s just not going to happen.
It doesn’t sound impossible. It makes perfect sense, except look what happened to Hillary. I work in a role where I’m exposed to rural Americans and if you talk to them it’s incredible how the subtle prejudices start to come out.
Also, polls this early are notoriously off base.

Joe was 7 points behind in Michigan.
Americans have elected a black president already, and women have held every other level of office.
Everything sounds impossible until it happens.

I would rather have gone with biden but whats done is done and im fine moving ahead.
I don’t know. I think with abortion on the ballot having a woman at the top of the ticket will be a benefit.
I dont think we should run a woman because everyone else is sexist. /S
