In reply to the discussion: I switched back to Kamala [View all]madville

I predict she will consistently finish 3rd behind Biden and Sanders in a majority of the states she competes in, will have a few 2nd place finishes behind Biden and will win 2 or 3 states (California at least) in close races but not enough to gain any significant proportional delegate advantage from the wins.
We'll be able to tell by how she debates Biden I think, whether or not she is angling for VP, they won't go after him hard unless they believe they have a legitimate chance of winning the whole thing. She has gone out to the left on most issues so far and that is a very crowded space at the moment, Biden can sit back as cruise as long as he can maintain 30-40% support.

I like Biden - came to like him much more as Obama's VP than as a senator or candidate

Don't worry. Bernie will not win CA and Kamala will. Bernie will not make it past Super Tuesday

You are drawing conclusions based on your own opinions. There is no evidence to suggest it.
