135. Your ticket is so wrong.

You really think Harris is gonna wanna be on a ticket with a guy who just said:

“Many of my opponents do not hold that view, and they think that all that we need is people who are candidates who are black or white, who are black or Latino or woman or gay, regardless of what they stand for, that the end result is diversity.”

AND put him at the top of the ticket?

Good luck with that.
