    and Harris was at least up there in viability.

    Really?

    Because she’s moving “to the middle” policy wise, so if that’s what you liked about her…

    Did you think she was charismatic? Because most didn’t. To the point she dropped before anyone had a chance to even vote for.

    She’s the candidate, she’s better than trump, and I’m gonna be happy to vote for her.

    But making her out to be better than she really is ain’t helping anyone. And if you like her for the 2020 primary positions, well. She’s left almost all of those behind. Her platform just got announced and she’s not doing any of the stuff she talked about back then.

      I’d have given her about 4th or 5th place, top of the people who dropped but below Biden, Warren and Sanders. It helps that she had at least a small break out moment when she confronted Biden on bussing. She didn’t have a chance in the primary, but apparently neither did Warren who was my pick. Instead, dropping early probably helped her secure the VP pick, which obviously was the right call.

      That said, the whole primary was a bit messy and resulted in Biden who was picked as “the best chance of beating Trump.” Blah.

      I wouldn’t give much emphasis on primary policies though, in a race with so many people you pick things that will set you apart from the others, and it’s all shades of the same stuff. The only one I thought actually had a plan was Warren, mostly because she actually wrote it down.
