I know she hates trump and wont vote for him but she says shes afraid trump will win in November (shes from Ohio). Then she told me shes afraid Biden will pick a woman running mate. Apparently there are still people, including women, that think the VP ought to be a man. The way she said it; he ought to pick a strong forceful man made me realize there are still people who buy trumps TV persona in spite of all hes done and said. Then to top it off she wondered why Biden isnt making public appearance; is there something cognitively wrong with him? That was her concern. I really had to bite my tongue and remind her of the pandemic and that Joe is just doing what everyone should be. Also sent her a sarcastic video of trumps recent gloating about his cognitive test. It really bothered me that shed even give any credence to those ideas.
Fortunately some posted the new version of the liar tweets tonight and got me feeling better. I tried to put a link below if you havent seen it yet.

Since I'm from there, I wouldn't be surprised. Ohio is not a good place to get accurate information easily. She's probably hearing a barrage of absolute crackers CT horseshit from every white suburbanite she knows.

(7,947 posts)Biden can get through an entire speech without any Trumpisms= no insults, no nasty racist grams, no references to how many times he has to flush the toilet.
He seems fine to me.
