    I’m saying as a subordinate in the Whitehouse she cannot largely deviate from the official position to the degree and outside candidate could.

    Lots of other failings, as you point out. But on the topic of Israel there is little that could have been said, even if there was the desire.

    I’m not excusing her of anything, I think it was a flaw of picking her as the candidate.

      She absolutely can. VP is an elected position, whats he going to do, fire her? cut her out of decisions? Decisions already literally werent her job. And he could read a poll the same as the rest of us. He should have understood that she needed to play to win. You’re confusing loyalty with her inability to grab the ring and lead.
