Sometimes people miss the obvious, don’t they? To counter
Hillary Clinton, why not place a smart African-American woman on the Republican
Ticket? This would help split and capture the female vote, the minority vote,
and maybe even totally secure her home state, right? Few folks would want to
vote against Condi Rice.
Besides the fact that Condi Rice is a Black Republican woman,
she is also an extremely experienced, knowledgeable, and reputable public
servant and foreign policy scholar. She has worked at the highest governmental
levels for years. In her own right she’s more than qualified; her race and
gender are simply extra benefits. Condi also KNOWS world leaders just as
Hillary does.
I realize that being Vice President of the United States
would be a sacrifice for Ms. Rice (both financially & time wise) as would
the campaigning and debating, but she might well do it for her country if
called. Somebody call Condi.
I don’t know if Donald Trump and Condi Rice now get along
or not; I am clueless (due to the Bush connection). It would, however, be a
very unique team and ticket to have two such diverse individuals working and
campaigning together. (Traditionally, the two have not been so far apart on
social issues, both are somewhat Moderates.)
Their differences are in that Condi holds a theoretical
and history perspective of world events, as they are, whereas Donald Trump
basically views them as how he wishes they would or should be. These two might
actually work great together, balancing book & political sense (Condi) and
practical business & economic sense (Donald).
This is just an idea, and other people have suggested
other women (Haley, Martinez) to fill out and balance the Republican Ticket. By
the same token some strategists wonder if choosing John Kasich (To win Ohio,
and shore-up the Conservative base) might be the way to go. As yet I am not
100% sure, but I do like the Condi Rice idea on the surface…..
