MODERATORS
I hope she gets the candidacy, not because I'm particularly enthusiastic about her politics (beggers can't be choosers these days), but if for no other reason than to watch the right's wall-eyed, impotent rage.
Not a good reason. I'm of the opinion that half the reason we got Trump in 2016 was because the right's wall-eyed rage against Hillary turned out to be not so impotent after all. Everyone thought Trump would lose, but the right hated Hillary so much, it gave even those who were unmotivated by Trump a reason to go out just to vote against her. Anything that motivates the right to get up and go vote is a bad thing.
Nah, she also has better polling than Biden. I'd rather have a chance to win than definitely lose, Harris is the most realistic option.
The rage from the right has reached its saturation point, there simply aren't enough bigots left to boost Trump's numbers. Only way Dems lose is they fail to produce turn out, Biden simply has too much toxic baggage.
