In reply to the discussion: Kamala would demolish Pence in debates! [View all]HotTeaBag
(1,206 posts)37. I'm sure I am risking a lot saying this but,
I understand what he or she is saying.
The reason we lost in 2016 is because we ran Hillary.
She was qualified.
She was ready.
She would have made an outstanding President.
But she was also vilified by the Right for 30 years (along with Putin's help toward the end), and it stuck well enough to have enough people (even some Democrats) decide not to vote for her or not vote at all because they didn't 'like' her.
If Joe Biden would have run in 2016 he would have absolutely crushed Trump.
Personally, I don't get any particular bad vibe/feeling from Kamala, and I'd be happy to vote for a Biden/Harris ticket.
