through leadership for years. and widely respected for intellect and ran on the vice president ticket. he s just kind of there. and i got to say just based on my conversation with people on capitol hill, staffers and members. setting aside idea differences or political believes. leadership capabilities here, he s not widely believed to be one of the great strategic thinkers of the generation. not a commanding figure within the republican party. not the way nancy pelosi is. nobody expects him to strike fear in the heart of the opposition. he delivered this kind of out landish speech last night. to try as hard as he could to prove to the base that he can really bring the fire. in response to the democrats agenda. you can judge for yourself whether he succeeded. this isn t a republican or democrat issue. this is the safety of the nation. gas prices.
diversity, race diversity. if i m elected as the nominee, i m going to make sure there is gender diversity on the ticket. so there would be a woman vice president? you re a good politician, you zigzagged, you did not answer my question. i did answer your question. no. yes, there will be a female on the vice president ticket. i guess my question is, how much does this matter? there are a lot of politics in the democratic base. is this a real conversation that s going to impact votes? i ve heard a lot of candidates ask them again and again. one, i think we should say it s super premature for anyone, for all the democratic candidates. we have no idea how this is going to play out. i can t recall being asked or discussing vp stuff this early. but i think it s a reflection of a couple things. one, it s just an after-effect of the hillary clinton loss in 2016. there are so many women voters
