Rising star governors have no incentive run. They thinkтАФI hope theyтАЩre right!тАФtheyтАЩll have a better shot. Plus, competing against Harris could be taken the wrong way by identity voters, which could be death to rising-star aspirations. I wish there could be a competitive, open convention that would give the winner an aura of victory, but I donтАЩt think it will happen. But we are in uncharted waters so anything can happen.
How some feel in the future shouldn't be a stumbling block now. That's a 'luxury' concern. We have a 'hot' fire to put out. The incentives should be obvious...save James Madison's genius piece of legal and moral philosophy.
I think people such as Whitmer and/or Shapiro might feel a twinge of duty, rather than self interest when the stakes are this high. If they don't, then they may not be the 'ones.' Serving a higher purpose sometimes brings out the best in people.
There's just not time, this time, to be taking a poll of feelings.
The fence sitters that are left want youth, vigor, compassion, and most of all a strong demeanor. The D's have a good stable.
Stop Trump and we'll sort the identity groups out next year.
Re' Kamala - I have concerns that a lot of people made up their minds about her years ago, and are not interested in reviewing their opinion.
She has room to grow her support. Biden does not. I'll take Kamala's negatives over Biden's any day of the week. Biden isn't going to get younger.
Having said that, are there other Ds who would be better than Kamala. Absolutely. Probably can't get them nominated though.
Why not? I'd appreciate your rationale.
