Trump says men may be 'insulted' by Biden's female VP pledge

Source: AFP via MSN

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that some men may feel "insulted" by his Democratic rival Joe Biden's committment to choose a woman as his vice presidential candidate.

"He roped himself into a certain group of people," Trump told Fox Sports Radio in an early morning phone-in interview.

"Some people would say men are insulted by that and some people would say it is fine," Trump said.

In the radio interview, Trump praised his own vice president, Mike Pence, but said bluntly: "people don't vote for the vice president, they really don't."

Three points:

Polls have shown Trump losing his advantage with male voters, so he's playiing the "Aren't you insulted?" card against Biden.

GOP pundits and media outlets do not think Biden's rumored choices are "fine" and have been busy attacking them.

And Trump can't share one iota of credit for his 2016 victory with his slavishly adoring lap dog VP, who probably did bring him some votes, especially from RW evangelicals.

trDump's very first inclination is to play the hate card. He refuses to let any wound heal. He is determined to rip the scab off, make a bloody mess, then do his best to create a nasty infection making things septic and gangrenous.

Then he considers it a happy moment, his job has been well done.

picking one. But one thing it did was relieve any men wanting the job from making any effort to get it. Also stopped people wasting time speculating on which men might be prospects. That part is good.

If you are a man and you are insulted by Joe Biden's pick of woman to be Vice President
then you would not be voting for Biden in the first place.

Hoover, Reagan, Bush I, Bush II, and Trump, I, and so many other men, would love to see a woman as either Vice President or President.

Trump seems to not allow himself to realize that in 2016, 3 million voters chose the woman President over the man President.

...as if any woman the Democrats would pick would be worse than Trump.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

There were 2 non-whites of the 93. I bet the one you forgot was Vice President Charles Curtis who served from 1929 to 1933, who was a Native American Indian.
