“can’t handle” makes it sound like there was an issue of capacity to do the job. That assertion is frivolous, specious, transparent, and intellectually dishonest on your part. Feel free to lie to yourself in an effort to assuage guilty feelings about your candidate of choice, but don’t expect others here to give you any quarter for your self delusions.
“If she can’t handle being the governor of the 2nd smallest sate in population”
***********
That “second smallest state” is also the largest state in land mass and the richest in natural resources and the only state with two foreign countries effectively on its border.
One question to the newbie and budding little statist: Is it more difficult to manage a large state geographically or small state with a larger population?
The answer tells a lot about the person who gives it. If you think it is more difficult to manage a large state in population, you are more than likely a nanny stater who wants the government involved in way too many private decisions of the many citizens. If you think it is harder to manage a large state geographically, you are more than likely a constitutionalist. The fact is there are far greater PROPER responsibilities associated with governing a state the geographic size of Alaska which, if it were a country, would be the 17th largest in the world. Its huge landmass is over 50% larger than all of Western Europe (586,412 square miles versus 380,820) and possessed of far more natural resources as well.
