If she is, Trump will win reelection.

Trump ain't doing nothing these next 2 years but hiding. His goose is cooked.

It is a bit ticklish with Kamala. On the one hand she's a California democrat. But she's also been a prosecutor, a category of people I hardly associate with "bleeding heart liberal". Of course, she's also female and black (kinda) so that cancels her out for some people. Irregardless of any of that, she seems pretty damn smart to me, which would be a refreshing change...

not only is she a prosecutor that put a bunch of African Americans behind bars, she got a big break by prostituting herself for a job. But she will appeal to middle class moderate democrats.

"Of course, she's also female and black (kinda)…"

I think this is exactly why she'll get the nomination. First, a male ain't going to survive the #metoo hysteria in the Dem party. Bernie and Cory already have #metoo baggage and I'm sure they can dig up some on Beto. Even though she's not dark black, she's Obama black, and that will be enough to rally the African American votes in the Dem party.

Black women can be catty, though. They might refuse to go to the polls for her, jowls bepuffed with disdain...

Once she gets Oprah's endorsement, it's over.

Do you really want a President that is over 50?

Shameful.

How do you feel about Uncle Joe as president?

I think he'd be a threat to Trump.

A progressive is going to draw clear lines. Biden would blur them

Biden's '93 speech degrading blacks will come back to bite him if he runs for office......

Joe Biden in a 1993 speech warned of "predators on our streets" who were "beyond the pale" and said they must be cordoned off from the rest of society because the justice system did not know how to rehabilitate them.
Biden, then chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, made the comments on the Senate floor a day before a vote was scheduled on the Senate's version of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act.
His central role in shaping and shepherding the tough-on-crime bill will likely face scrutiny in a Democratic primary should he run for president in 2020. His 1993 comments, which were in line with the broad political consensus to tackling crime at the time, are at odds with a new bipartisan coalition of activists and lawmakers who are trying to undo what they say is a legacy of mass incarceration fostered by that era.
Biden's word choice could also pose a problem with a new generation of Democrats who view the rhetoric at the time as perpetuating harmful myths about the black community.

They are beyond the pale many of those people, beyond the pale," Biden continued. "And it's a sad commentary on society. We have no choice but to take them out of society."
In the speech, Biden described a "cadre of young people, tens of thousands of them, born out of wedlock, without parents, without supervision, without any structure, without any conscience developing because they literally ... because they literally have not been socialized, they literally have not had an opportunity." He said, "we should focus on them now" because "if we don't, they will, or a portion of them, will become the predators 15 years from now."
Biden added that he didn't care "why someone is a malefactor in society" and that criminals needed to be "away from my mother, your husband, our families."
