I get it... she's your pick (as well as the author's) - so you would both very much like to see her get the nomination. Most capable of the female candidates, solid track record supporting consumers, well to the left of Biden. She makes sense.

That title says "may"... but it also says "is". It's entirely appropriate to question how the candidate polling in 5th place (6th in the most recent RCP average) "is" a star in the race.

Maybe let her crack double digits in a couple polls before we say she IS a star?

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

Eclipse is an interesting word FBaggins Apr 2019 #7

It's very early and Bernie is living off of 2016 BeyondGeography Apr 2019 #8

Clinton "lived off of" 2012 all the way to the nomination FBaggins Apr 2019 #9

Sorry... 2008 of course FBaggins Apr 2019 #13

She had much higher polling numbers than he's ever had -- if you're going to point to pnwmom Apr 2019 #28
