Daniel Patrick Moynihan was an Okie. He was born here in Oklahoma. She only spent the first 16 of her 70 years here in Oklahoma.
Absolutely no one in my state considers her an "Okie".
The whole "Okie girl" is a sham.

ETA: and even if people consider her an Okie, she won't get Oklahoma's 7 electoral votes..or Texas or anywhere in red states Trump won.

She gives no electoral college advantage.

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