truth: High-end politicians don’t want to be Kamala’s running mate.
Just think about it: Say you have a very long history of high achievement and have serious designs on the Oval Office. After many candidates can’t because it turns out they are dirtbags or suddenly have to wash their hair, YOU are offered the VP slot. Great, right?
But then, you highly suspect that she will lose and lose big. And YOUR name is henceforth forever attached to both her and to the loss. Do you want to hitch your wagon to that?
And additionally, there are credible reports that she is a supercilious witch (which is why she lost 92% of her staff), who demands that people stand when she enters the room, call her “General,” and are forbidden from looking her in the eye.
And all that time you have to put on a front that you like her. You have to publicly pretend that these things are not true.
Are you thinking, “Boy, am I in for THAT!”
I think you may feel a sudden urge to go wash your hair…
UPDATE: More hair-washing:
According to the New York Times, Cooper “has informed [Harris’s] team that he has withdrawn from the vice-presidential sweepstakes, according to two people briefed on the matter.”
Wow.
Ask yourself the following question: why would Cooper, who is 67 years old, not want to be Kamala’s running mate? He’ll be 69 when he runs for the Senate, and, if he wins, he’d be 75 while seeking a second term. If that were successful, he’d be 81 when he potentially seeks a third term. Does anyone really believe he would rather be a U.S. Senator into his eighties than get to retire as vice president in his mid to late 70s? Of course he wouldn’t.
… Make no mistake about it: If he thought she could win, he’d want to be on the ticket.
