29. Neither one of them is capable of playing second fiddle

Thu May 5, 2016, 12:08 PM

May 2016

I remember back in 2008, I thought that if Hillary were nominated, she'd definitely nominate Obama for Veep, but that if he were nominated, he would never choose her. I was, sadly, proved right on that. Both of them, though, could have gracefully accepted the role and campaigned heartily for the ticket.

The Donald and the Bern? No way. Couldn't fit both those heads on a stage, and their angry white supporters likewise couldn't be in the same room.
