Abrams only lost Georgia by 1.4 % and Georgia is trending left.A Biden /Abrams ticket could take the state in 2020 imo.Most Dems are looking at possibly taking Texas and Arizona in 2020 but Georgia is a real possibility as well,especially if Abrams is on the ticket.
As I said, the clear winner of both nights was Pocahonky. Joe avoided disaster but did not rise above maintenance level, and Skankala lost her extremely short-lived reputation as Miss Ballbuster. Even a non-attorney like Tulsi took Miss Really Really Tough Career Prosecutor So Watch Your Arse apart. Tulsi is not going to win anything but she showed the other candidates where Skank's archilles heels were.
Unless Michelle Obama shows interest.I know she says she isn't interested in politics but such an easy path to The White House might make her change her mind.Not likely to happen but I can dream.
Abrams changes a lot of southern states but she is also just a good VP candidate overall. Unlike what AAA says, she is sharp. She commands policy and has good political instincts. She tightened that race up by adopting a total state strategy and that is what democrats need to do nationally. Campaigning in Kentucky has an impact on places like Tennessee and West Virginia and parts of PA. She can help in a lot of ways. Lots of upside to her. She is very much a Nicki Hailey type for comparison sake.
I like Michelle Obama but if she ran as VP it would be a gimmick. She is better off sitting out a few cycles and if she wants to serve then go for the Senate. She is only 55.
Because why? Al Sharpton is not available? We already have the Hate Squad. We dont need another member, having just gotten rid of her.
I get it, EW is your horse and it’s not a bad choice but right now she is on the outside track and I don’t think Biden going down in a debate benefits her. And Biden did not go down last night. If anything he did better than the first debate and his lead held with that piss poor performance. People will start looking to Bootyjudge, Bennett and those types of Biden does falter because Warren does not fit in the main stream of democrat voters. I’m not saying she cannot get the nomination though if Biden collapses, and that is 50/50 in my mind. If Biden does collapse the moderate voters may break to multiple different candidates and that leaves a lane for Warren to consolidate the left and run through the hole to the nomination. I see her path.
Abrams is a native daughter and she understands southern issues. She is an exciting candidate for many southerners on the left.
First of all it is when Biden collapses not if. Second, the distribution of votes when he collapses will be as you mentioned, except you need to add to it the fact that sooner or later- probably later because he will go to the end- Bernie's votes will also collapse and be similarly distributed, so that will put that whole dynamic on steroids.
