Consider for a moment...

@trollslayer "I have never voted based upon who would be better to step in as VP, but I did not vote for McCain specifically because I felt Sarah Palin was incapable."
That is your first paragraph. How is that not self-contradicting?

@trollslayer I think I agree with you, Vance I only have one problem with because of his last answer in the debate, he seems not to be man enough to step in against rump it it was needed . That was a damn no answer to a simple question.
I think the debate was civil for a definite change and in my opinion pretty even. No question in my mind Vance would be better than rump but we are voting for rump or Harris and in my opinion Elmer Fudd would be better than rump.

@daydeeo i said “better to step in”, not a better vp. That means I have two to compare, and i. palin’s case she simply was not capable of stepping in, so I had nothing to compare. To me all that matters in a vp candidate is if he/she is capable of stepping in if needed, not who would be “better” at stepping in. I don’t really care about who is better in that case, I only care if the candidate is capable. My comment was that in all my years of voting I found all VP candidates capable except once. It wasn’t that I felt she was worse at stepping in, I felt she wasn’t even an option. An analogy would be having the choice between two roads to take to a destination and both will get me there safely. I never make a choice which road to take based on safety, because both choices meet my needs. Then one day the bridge is on one road. I am then not making a choice because I have one option.

@daydeeo You had no real point to miss.

But go ahead, keep trying to convince yourself that you did.

@RedBaron I wasn't trying to make a point. I simply asked a question, hoping to elicit some thoughtful response.

@daydeeo But you failed to recognize that there is no choice since we only have one president and one VP at a time.

@daydeeo maybe not entirely but when even gay men are swooning over him, that’s superficial! He would wipe them off the planet.

Presentation in most things is superficial. Not saying it isn’t beneficial and we don’t all use it. It’s not everything tho.
