They just want her to criticize hm in public, which she is unwilling to do and really shouldn’t do. I cant remember Veeps going strong on criticizing their president while running for that job. Did Gore say bad stuff about Bill Clinton? Yep. I concur.

Also 8 million Latinos, which he just insulted. Not to mention some polls have seen trump ahead there only by the margin of error. And abortion + pot is on the ballot.
