I suppose not, but that's not so unusual for VP's.  Different story with Prez nominees.  They ended around the whole process and completely cut out the voter preference. I'm surprised more on the left aren't up in arms. Every single blue state Governor bent the knee yesterday like it was a Game of Thrones episode and they were being threatened by dragons. Not a single peep of dissent...and yet, we know without a doubt that she is not liked.  Why so afraid? Maybe they made it very clear what they are capable of with the assassination attempt?
