Does Senator Harris still get a period? Is she a witch? These questions need to be answered. Probably unfit for office.
I was impressed by her and most of her answers in the town hall last night. I'm always impressed when she speaks. So intelligent and natural. She most definitely has the brains and demeanor to be President. Will wait to see how the rest unfolds.
Agreed. She's quick, she has a strong confident presence, and is quick and tenacious.
There are three things that i think will result in a successful candidate this time around.
1. They have to be quick on their feet, ready with facts and able to dismember Trump with their attacks and rebuttals.
Hillary is insanely smart. But she couldn't come back at Trump well in the moment. She needed to go and study it and do a few focus groups first. sigh...
I see Harris being able to do this effectively. Biden could do well here, Warren would be a bit hit and miss, Bernie ok, but gets stuck in his repetitive talking points. Yet to be seen with Gillibrand, Amy K. and others.
2. They have to drive the vote of women and minorities, while STILL appealing to everyday working class white folks. Not a simple feat. And right now... It's hard to see that any of them fit that bill.
Biden would be great with working class, ok with women and so-so with minorities. If he could get back PA, WI and MI, well hell, that would be the ballgame.
I think Harris would struggle here. A "California Elite" may suffer the same fate in the rust belt and I don't see here picking up any red states to make it up. Possibly Florida though, and that again, would be the ballgame.
Warren, nope. Sanders, doesn't pull the minority or women's vote, but would do well in the midwest. could lose NV and possibly VA, and would be a bit of a wash.
Don't see Amy K, or Gillibrand doing much aside from bringing out white women.
3. A bonus would be if they could come from a swing state. OH, FL, NC, GA???, PA, Unfortunately not much to go on here. Biden from PA, Brown from OH. Beto and Castro from TX, but probably wouldn't swing the state.
