29. Just like that?

Feb 2019

She'll have to walk through fire to win it all, just like any other top-level contender. Who knows what will come up. Even Barack Obama, the best candidate I ever saw, had to negotiate a near-death experience with the Rev. Wright nontroversy. Based on what I've seen, Harris isn't remotely at his level. She'll have a chance to prove otherwise and, if she's the frontrunner one year from now, she'll have plenty of opportunities to do so.

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

Highlight:

Way too early, of course, but I'm guessing it's going to be Kamala Harris. [View all] DanTex Feb 2019 OP

I think it'll come down to her and Biden, to be honest. bearsfootball516 Feb 2019 #1

Biden/Harris might be your ticket exboyfil Feb 2019 #3

How about Harris/Biden? honest.abe Feb 2019 #6

That would be amazing exboyfil Feb 2019 #8

Indeed. honest.abe Feb 2019 #9

Biden won't take the Number 2 slot again.. whathehell Feb 2019 #14

Yeah, you are probably correct.. honest.abe Feb 2019 #16

To be honest.. whathehell Feb 2019 #17

Give it time. Its amazing how quickly she has become the "front runner". honest.abe Feb 2019 #18

She started first and had a good rollout marylandblue Feb 2019 #21

Yeah, her campaign so far has been near flawless. honest.abe Feb 2019 #22

She's got one quality that's really going to help, things don't stick to her. bearsfootball516 Feb 2019 #49

It's still very early days.. whathehell Feb 2019 #31

Then why are you supporting Warren? honest.abe Feb 2019 #32

I support her because I believe in her.. whathehell Feb 2019 #36

If you are so concerned about whammies why even risk one whammy?? honest.abe Feb 2019 #38

As Barack Obama showed, whathehell Feb 2019 #40

Ok.. we will leave it at that. honest.abe Feb 2019 #41

That sounds good. whathehell Feb 2019 #42

It is VERY Early! McKim Feb 2019 #63

Yes it is.. whathehell Feb 2019 #64

Yeah, no way! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #26

I like that combo.. whathehell Feb 2019 #27

Never too old when it comes to those two... they have more energy than some half their age!! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #30

Well, I agree with you, whathehell Feb 2019 #34

That's ok, we got AOC waitin in the wings after Bernie & Elizabeth put our country on the right path InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #37

Are you saying... WordsMatter Feb 2019 #54

I think it will be one of Harris, Biden, or Sanders. DanTex Feb 2019 #4

Sanders is done for on Super Tuesday, if not sooner, just like last time. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #11

I think so to. I think Sanders and Warren will have a very difficult time capturing the South, and still_one Feb 2019 #33

As long as DownriverDem Feb 2019 #62

Not my first choice but exboyfil Feb 2019 #2

Yeah, I wish we could pair her with Franken. I miss him. DanTex Feb 2019 #5

Yep, that's my thinking as well. honest.abe Feb 2019 #7

There has't been a primary ...way too early. I must say the post yesterday Demsrule86 Feb 2019 #10

It would be nice if she would publish her policies and issues web pages... WordsMatter Feb 2019 #12

You'd think that would be useful information in a campaign. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2019 #28

For instance, WordsMatter Feb 2019 #45

Here is a partial list ehrnst Feb 2019 #46

Thanks for this...Still wanting Senator Harris and all others to put issues and positions on website WordsMatter Feb 2019 #47

I like her demeanor. She's very respectful of others. Her smile is warm and sincere... NurseJackie Feb 2019 #13

She reminds me of Obama spinbaby Feb 2019 #15

Biden/Harris, or Biden/Booker is a much stronger ticket to win in the EC in my estimation. CrossingTheRubicon Feb 2019 #19

if she can overcome racism and misogyny... Fresh_Start Feb 2019 #20

Does she have foreign policy experience? Renew Deal Feb 2019 #23

From wikipedia.. honest.abe Feb 2019 #24

Here's a flaw... brooklynite Feb 2019 #25

Just like that? BeyondGeography Feb 2019 #29

Of the main candidates she is the one most likely to lose to tRump Bradshaw3 Feb 2019 #35

Not sure why you would say that. honest.abe Feb 2019 #39

There will be a massive turnout on the other side as well Bradshaw3 Feb 2019 #50

Our side always wins when there is a big turnout. honest.abe Feb 2019 #51

Two questionable assumptions Bradshaw3 Feb 2019 #52

2018 midterm was the highest in history... we won big. honest.abe Feb 2019 #53

Apples and oranges Bradshaw3 Feb 2019 #55

Yes, Dems were enthused in 2018 and will likely be even more enthused in 2020... honest.abe Feb 2019 #56

Won't be enthused if we have the same kind of infighting we saw in 2016 Bradshaw3 Feb 2019 #58

I would not be confident with Kamala Harris against Trump Awsi Dooger Feb 2019 #48

I'm still hopiing for a Harris/Brown ticket. CTyankee Feb 2019 #43

To those so very concerned about the white male vote and Trump's nicknames or other nonsense... Garrett78 Feb 2019 #44

The polls are meaningless at this point however I looked at 538's latest where Biden, Harris, and CentralMass Feb 2019 #57

"The polls are meaningless at this point..." They really are. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #59

Yes, but the pollsters work hard and we all take what we want from the numbers. CentralMass Feb 2019 #60

We don't all do that. I take nothing from them. They're meaningless. Garrett78 Feb 2019 #61

Why isn't this Thread on the Special DU Forum for Candidates McKim Feb 2019 #65

Wut? betsuni Feb 2019 #66
