The party of rats has hijacked the black vote from the party of Lincoln unopposed by the GOP. As you say, Condi Rice is probably not the right candidate to win back the black vote and some of the female vote from the Rats but the fact remains that we need a Conservative VP that can appeal to those constituencies where Trump has high unfavorables.
well, I’m not sure we will get a pure conservative for a VP but I think we will get someone that the establishment thinks they can trust, who they find reassuring as a known quantity in the role of governing
Someone like Scott Walker for example?
Don’t know anything about his trade policies or other conservative bona fides on social issues, but he seems like a pretty fearless even tempered (ie boring wonk) guy who can handle a hostile bureaucracy and produce results
Except he’s a state governor, not a DC politician and Trump probably doesn’t see the unions as enemies the way Walker did
