Big "John McCain tapping Sarah Palin in hopes of Pokemon typing away Barack Obama's perceived diversity edge advantage" energy here. https://twitter.com/Yamiche/status/1295714641449037824
Thousands of MAGA chanchuds who unironically post about barefoot women making sandwiches and regularly declare "feminism is cancer" are going to declare him the most feminist president ever. They'll slam this stunt down on the table like it's a winning card.
At least one person thought this was an autocorrect error. Nope. I said "Pokemon typing away" and that's what I meant.

McCain very clearly thought Black Man Candidate would be weak against a White Woman Candidate, but it was not very effective. https://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1295715218828464132
The day before McCain unveiled his VP pick, he released a campaign video where he suddenly and without preamble or pivot was all smiles and very smugly congratulating Senator Obama on "the historic nature of [his] campaign".

I thought: he thinks he has something up his sleeve.
