If you ask me, I'm upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can't get over race and gender.

He was to build a bridge to the evangelicals, they were all originally super skeptical of trump and needed pence.

In some circles they were voting for trump, hoping he got impeached so they could have pence.

All of that has shifted and Trump is their second coming, but originally, it was not like this.
