I wonder why Bernie refused to say he'd pick a woman. There are so many qualified women [View all]

at this point, it's hard to understand why he wouldn't make that commitment . . . unless he thought there was a real likelihood he wouldn't do so.

In any case, the sure way to get Trump to dump Pence and replace him with former Governor and Ambassador Nikki Haley would be to have two men on the Democratic ticket.

And Nikki Haley is no Sarah Palin. She's far right but she's smart. She could draw many crossover votes -- especially from any younger women who have been brainwashed into believing there's no real difference between the two major parties.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
