53. I Can Understand That

But Biden might beat her in the Primaries. If Biden does win the nomination, a smart, experienced woman of color would be a great choice for VP. Harris fits the bill, even if she does not want to be VP.

Also, if Biden wins the Presidency, whoever is VP will be teed up to be the next President after him. Biden might even not run for a second term at his age, and might hand the torch over to Kamala, or whoever Biden has as VP.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

If Harris wins the nomination kiss the election hopes goodbye. olegramps Jul 2019 #37

I am beginning to have my doubts about Harris. katmondoo Jul 2019 #44

The questions about her past don't trouble me as much as her oasis Jul 2019 #50

Sad.. I would love to see a woman president.. but I agree with you completely Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #45

Your Thoughts..... LovingA2andMI Jul 2019 #57

I worked for Obama before the won the nomination and cast my state convention vote for him. olegramps Jul 2019 #59

Respondents still think Biden has the best chance of beating Trump: 42% Biden, 14% Harris highplainsdem Jul 2019 #2

When asked who would be the best leader: Biden 26%, Harris 16%, Sanders & Warren 15% highplainsdem Jul 2019 #3

"an 18-point drop from the 44 percent he received the last time this question was asked." Kaleva Jul 2019 #9

He's still ahead, even with the numbers dropping. And this poll included June 28, the highplainsdem Jul 2019 #11

But the poll you are quoting is showing movement in the numbers Kaleva Jul 2019 #19

Well, the one trend that's been steadiest is voters thinking Biden is most electable. As for the highplainsdem Jul 2019 #23

The trend is fewer and fewer people think Biden is most electable. bluewater Jul 2019 #30

Yup. He will not be the nominee I think. gldstwmn Jul 2019 #33

You do realize its really early LeftTurn3623 Jul 2019 #39

Yes, it's early. And you seem to be assuming she's a flawless candidate and won't be criticized by highplainsdem Jul 2019 #40

No one is saying Kamala is flawless. stopbush Jul 2019 #52

And, I think Biden would be. Cha Jul 2019 #51

Best policy ideas: Warren 31%, Sanders 18%, Biden 11%, Harris 8% highplainsdem Jul 2019 #4

" a drop from 23 percent in April. " Kaleva Jul 2019 #10

And Harris is at only 8%. highplainsdem Jul 2019 #13

This message was self-deleted by its author gldstwmn Jul 2019 #34

Read more carefully.. This subthread is on best policy ideas, and she's at 8% there. highplainsdem Jul 2019 #36

Would he consider SOS? You know like everyone who keeps asking Kamala to be VP? gldstwmn Jul 2019 #42

I have no idea. He'd be a good SOS, but I think he'd be a better president. I really do believe highplainsdem Jul 2019 #43

Biden/Harris 2020? Progressive2020 Jul 2019 #6

I will wait until the bump levels off to see the settled poll numbers... Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #14

No. She doesn't want to be VP. gldstwmn Jul 2019 #35

I Can Understand That Progressive2020 Jul 2019 #53

Whoever the nominee is should really be running for gldstwmn Jul 2019 #56

OK Progressive2020 Jul 2019 #60

Conclusion: Voters liked Harris's debate performace, consider Biden most electable & best leader, & highplainsdem Jul 2019 #7

Yes, and it will keep getting better Andy823 Jul 2019 #8

+1 Kaleva Jul 2019 #17

If poll numbers can change this radically based on a five minute debate exchange, I think emmaverybo Jul 2019 #12

This was the first time Andy823 Jul 2019 #18

True. BlueWI Jul 2019 #21

Inslee Progressive2020 Jul 2019 #54

Thanks! BlueWI Jul 2019 #55

Increased visibility seems to be hurting Biden -- a lot. bluewater Jul 2019 #15

Warren's people need to take careful note of what it takes to make it to second place. She needs Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #16

Biden is losing support among black Democratic voters -- rapidly. bluewater Jul 2019 #20

True, and not surprising. BlueWI Jul 2019 #25

Biden's support among AA voters went up 18% post debate... not down Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #46

That's not a post-debate SC Poll bluewater Jul 2019 #49

That's not her style BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #22

Well, with that strategy, she will end up ceding her previously-held spot to Kamala. Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #27

It's hard to think of something less relevant right now BeyondGeography Jul 2019 #29

Actually, the debates should have some sort of an impact with these red states - no? Skya Rhen Jul 2019 #32

State polling is very relevant see post #46 above Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #48

Indeed Thekaspervote Jul 2019 #47

Not her style. She won her night with a simple, passionate policy message. marylandblue Jul 2019 #38

Kamala's visibility increase will only make this better for her jaceaf Jul 2019 #24

"This has changed the race. I am proud of her." bluewater Jul 2019 #28

Warren and Harris heading higher duforsure Jul 2019 #26

Hope she pulls ahead. zentrum Jul 2019 #31
