    Repubs have been campaigning on a platform of bigotry and hatred for decades so I don’t see a woman or minority VP happening. Also Donald is personally a bigot and his eggshell ego could not handle the idea of a VP boosting him.

      I don’t know that you’re wrong, but I’d point out he had Omarosa clinging to him at the beginning of his first term. He doesn’t seem above using women or minorities when convenient to make himself look good. He seems to really want the Kanye and rap crowd to love him, as another example.

        True but Omarosa and Kanye’s interactions with Donald are something far more palatable to the far-right racist Repubs. Donald being president at all is basically down to racists flipping out that a black person was allowed into such a prominent role as president.
