Plagiarizing ME from earlier:
We don’t need a female ‘John Roberts’ in the WH to stab us in the back, TOO!
I like Condi and I thinks she’s totally qualified, but I don’t fee like she can be trusted..
ALSO…
She’s super qualified, but I don’t think she’s solidly in the Conservative camp. I never have felt she was.
It’s just a visceral feeling I have in my gut that minority candidates (any minority) have to strive twice as hard and demonstrate twice as commitment, if they want to pass for Conservatives.
There are way too many temptations for them to ‘make their career’ by yanking a rabbit out of a hat and shocking everyone with some last minute and wholly unexpected ‘about-face’!!!
As a prime example, Powell has tap-danced around like this for decades, to the point where he has made himself totally irrelevant and can be believed and trusted by NO ONE.
The massive political capital he COULD have accumulated was squandered by his perpetual and selfish insistence on riding the fence

What ARE her qualifications? I think you’re putting the cart before the horse. The first choice is conservative! Everything else is an accessory (like a pair of gloves). If he picks her it will be viewed as shameless pandering.
But it might be the first time a VP candidate votes for the opposition presidential candidate.
