Kerry saw him speak. In April. Kerry was impressed. Kerry knew he needed every last AA vote. He didn't pick him because he was "practically a Senator."
He picked him because he saw the once in a generational talent speak and knew he would give an amazing speech at the convention.
You know this as well as I do. For some reason you need it to be because of a blowout of a candidate who wasn't even in the race yet. Ok.
Abrams I suppose could turn out to be amazing. She could also turn out to be in over her head. Don't know because she hasn't put in the work like Harris or heck at least Buttigieg ran a national presidential campaign. He's not really qualified either but that's better than state legislature.
Like I said, I've got the entirety of political history on my side, and you've got "she's really talented." I'm going to leave it there. Feel free to restate the same point again, I'm not seeing much value in continuing so you can have the last word.
