Someone in another thread offered up Anita Hill as a potential Trump VP.
I typed and cancelled several responses before dissolving into giggles. I. just. couldn't. go. there.
My favorite part was how Ms. Kitty said Joe Biden "persecuted" Anita Hill during the hearing. That makes no sense because Biden, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is a liberal democrat and Democrats were obviously trying to deny confirmation of Thomas, an appointee of Daddy Bush. Republicans and Daddy Bush obviously wanted to confirm him. So, why would Biden attack their own witness against Thomas, namely Anita Hill? BTW, she passed a lie detector test. Thomas refused to take one.
But the personalities have to mesh. Trump/Cruz or Trump/Christie . . . . alpha dogs don't work well with other alpha dogs . . . Mr. Trump won't work well with attorneys, like Teddy and Chris (BTW, what kind of parents would name their kid "Chris Christie"? I once knew preppy kids named "Leffert Lefferts" and "William Williams").
Absolutely not a requirement. The Reagans and the Bush family hated each other and Bush ran a particularly nasty campaign against Reagan. Remember "voodoo economics'?
Reagan pulled Bush in because the paring worked from a political perspective, not because he would make a good golf partner.
Likewise I don't think Gore and Clinton cared much for each other.
Trump's word salad of a response to Gov. Haley's address:
""But she’s weak on illegal immigration, and she certainly has no trouble asking me for campaign contributions, ‘cause over the years she’s asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions. So, you know, it’s sort of interesting to hear," he continued. "Perhaps, if I weren’t running she’d be in my office asking for money. But now that I’m running, she wants to take a weak side on immigration. I feel very strongly about illegal immigration. She doesn’t, and I think the people in her great state, I love her state, I’m there a lot, and by the way I have a massive lead in South Carolina. We have a massive lead. They’re incredible people, and they feel like I do. Believe me. Because they don’t like what’s happening in our country.â€
Further:
"..."So you know, let’s see what happens. We’ll pick somebody, but we’ll pick somebody who’s very good..."

That is because you only see things as a partisan. It clouds your judgment. Furthermore you don't need to refer to me in the 3rd person. If you take issue with something I've said then bring it to me.
In regards to what I said. Alot of women and African Americans saw was a successful Black woman being put through the meat grinder by a bunch of White men headed by Biden who clearly sided with Thomas.

I couldn't find your post where you mention Anita Hill's persecution (I saw it because someone else quoted you). C'mon, you know I always quote you and respond directly. And then consistently slay you. lol

OK, the article cites two instances where the author is unhappy with Biden. First, he let the Republicans walk all over him when they were trying to impugn her. Second, he said, "You have the benefit of the doubt, Judge" after Thomas accused the Democrats of "high tech lynching".
In sum, he was not an effective chairman and let the Republican inquisitions to go too far without challenge. He also tried to assure Thomas that he will be given a fair shake by the bunch of white folks. That's the takeaway of the article.
How does that translate into "persecution" (your words) of Anita Hill? Maybe "persecution" doesn't mean what you think it means?
That is funny ... some of the people on here don't even know she was slamming Trump. Oh well.....
Yeah, it was more a rebuttal to Trump than to Obama. Just goes to show that the establishment Republicans are more comfortable with Obama than Trump. I guess the deal is off.
