Pence was brought in to help secure normal Republican conservative vote, as Don had the radical nut-ball right sewn up.And so Pence was bought in to secure the white vote in 2016. Why can't a woman laugh? And why is there a double standard like this?
I have nothing against women laughing, but cackles, like a caricature laugh on a sitcom gives me the creeps in someone moving into a leadership position, and can sound maniacal. Remember when early on in the first few of weeks of the administration, Joe had already announced the border policy change, allowing refugees (and I use the term loosely) to be granted temporary (and again, I use the term loosely) asylum? I never thought she was ready or qualified to be second in line for the presidency. She was being interview (I think on CNN or some other admin friendly media) and was asked about her thoughts regarding the reaction to the administration border move. Without thought, consideration of the administration or her position supposedly being a part or supporting, she let out the cackle heard round the world, actually snorting in her laugh and displaying her natural reaction to the president's difficulties, before catching herself, and trying to give an answer minimizing her evaluation of the blowback facing the president and the administration. The main job of your second in command is to support your actions and decisions before those that observe and might disapprove, not cackle out loud, that you are having a bad day or series of days. In a non-elected position, she would have been fired or moved, but Joe was stuck with the bad decision made to have her (not ready for prime time) job performance. He was undoubtedly pissed, immediately, publically assigning her responsibility over the border, so she would have some skin in the game. But, she was really never over jackshit, as you can delegate authority, but it is impossible to delegate responsibility and everybody knows it, and knew it at the time. Joe would bear total responsibility for unleashing the border crisis, that his own VP laughed about on national television. She was, is, and will remain a dunsel. If you are unfamiliar with the term "dunsel":
