21. I think it's foolish to hold her hit at Joe in a debate. Everyone on that stage was looking for

something that would get voters to remember THEM! All of the candidates were bracing for hits on them because they were in a competition to be the last one standing. I'm hoping Joe will pick her for his VP because I recognize Joe is older than most nominees have been and we all have to think ahead of election day. He needs someone who really could be President if called upon to do so. IMO there's only one other woman in the group he is choosing from & that is Elizabeth Warren. The only reason I didn't say Warren as VP is because I think it would be a mistake to have both candidates on the ticket be over 70. The other candidates all didn't have enough experience.

Before you all start berating me for picking on older people, I'm 78 & I know how some people think those over 70 have one foot in the grave!
