She has done an excellent job
she is a very good person
Is this some devious Machiavellian manouevre?
If I were GH I would be suspecting the kiss of death.

Misogyny is the cornerstone of our society, it seems, racism is another, but women seem to be hated most of all.
NOT by Dems, but by society at large, especially the evangelicals.

(19,871 posts)that we nominated women.
But now I know, there are too many who hate women, who think that women are not as good as an orange hobgoblin.
They are wrong, but there are enough that we'll never elect a woman in the US.
Even a GOP one.

(201 posts)It effectively kills any chance Witmer may have had. Ask yourself, what Democrat would want a candidate with an endorsement from Trump?
If Whitmer was looking for approbation from Trump she has certainly not read the room very well. And if she was looking for praise from Trump she doesn't have the political instincts I thought she did.
See Newsom, Gavin.

(1,525 posts)he has persistently slagged off Biden during the presser ( which is still going on). He got another jibe in even as I am typing.
Has anyone told him the election is over?
