Dems always require tokens. Merit is not a factor for them.

Either Abrams or the WAPO are suffering from dementia. This story is about 3 months old.

She would be a dream if she was were picked to be the VP. My Lord. Only thing she has going for her is, I think VP Pence would go very easy on her. Not something he or anyone should do.
