Or maybe the real problem was the bizarre way they went about picking a vp- because it's a huge slap to endorse anyone but her, yet no one seems to even imagine her taking over unless it's due to the 25th Amendment.
Honestly, I think we are just well overdue for a president to die. Americans need a reminder that who they nominate for VP (and, by extension and more importantly, the president) actually matters. And that's just about the only way that could happen which the journos couldn't immediately spin.
Believe it or not, the president (and, by extension, the vice president)
do have power. It's just in the best interest of all the other powers that be to make sure they're either:
a. someone who doesn't use it, or
b. someone who uses it only to benefit said powers that be.
If you nominate a senile 80-year-old for president and a nigress with no political aspirations, image, or charisma for VP, this is exactly what you're gonna get no matter how the media spins it in the end. Which is exactly what the powers that be want, of course; it gives them the easiest path to feeding themselves.
When Americans actually give a shit about the president, you get the Roosevelts (the former of which ascended from vice president, lest we forget,) you get Kennedy/Johnson, you get Trump. And regardless of any political standing you might have, a Roosevelt or a Trump is infinitely preferable to a Biden, Carter, or Ford.
