“I mean, I’ve, I’ve made many mistakes, and they range from, you know, if you’ve ever parented a child, you know, you make lots of mistakes, too, in my role as vice president,” she said. “I mean, I’ve probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues, and I think that is very important.”
