Gabbard did awesome except for that one little piece of weirdness. Best part - Nailed Kamala far better than Willie Brown: Kamala fights back! Makes me want to give Tulsi some $$$ https://freebeacon.com/politics/har...p-tier-candidate-shes-at-zero-or-one-percent/
From what I see blacks don't like Booker at all and find Kamala acceptable if Biden messes up. Kamalas record as a prosecutor and white husband might hurt her with some black men.I don't think it hurts her with black women and black women vote more than black men and they vote 95% for democrats while black men is around 85%.Kamala is blowing it though with her flip flopping and ridiculous policies like a 10 year heath care plan. Harris comes in 2nd to Biden with black voters but Sanders is close to her with black voters and could surpass her if black voters do decide shes unacceptable.If she loses 2nd place in the black vote shes done because thats all thats keeping her in the top tier of candidates.
Biden will have to pick a black VP, we all know that. Could Kamala salvage things and still become his VP or is that not even remotely possible now?
Maybe but at the moment they are keeping her at # 4.Biden has the moderates.Sanders and Warren are splitting the progressive vote but Sanders is ahead of Warren because he is polling 3rd with black voters behind Biden and Harris.Harris has no progressive support and very little centrist support but black voters alone are keeping her in 4th place.Her whole strategy has to be hoping Biden goes down while Sanders and Warren split the progressive vote and she gets Bidens black votes and some of his moderates.If Biden goes down and blacks stick with her it can work but Biden is starting to look like he might not go down.Sanders might also take the black vote if Biden goes down as he is polling 3rd with blacks not far behind Harris.
She would be on the short list imo but I think he would pick some one else like Patrick or Abrams.Patrick is very likable and helped Obama so he has a connection with Biden but Biden might want a black women.
I think Biden will make it to the finish line. Bernie and Warren don't have what it takes. The most viscous attacks came from Harris, Booker and De Blasio last night. If he can survive that then Bernie, Mayor Pete and Warren can't top that.
If he can keep black voters he will definitely be the nominee.I'm starting to think Harris will not be able take them from Biden.Tree Frog thinks it will be Warren but I have a hard time seeing how she will get 70-80% of black support.Biden yes,Harris Yes,Sanders possibly.Everyone else forget it.
Interesting. Harris never addressed even one of the allegations but instead tried to counter-slime Tulsi. Harris reminds me of Hillary Clinton, reacting angrily when her record of failure and corruption is even mentioned. "How dare you, don't you know who I am?"
