    If she she’s was a great candidate she would have been the candidate 4 years ago.

        I’m concerned you couldn’t grasp that by candidate we were talking about the Presidential candidate.

          I understand. Kamala is going to president of the United States of America. And it’s going to be awesome.

      So she hasn’t gained any knowledge or experience in the last 4 years? We’re all just born with all the knowledge and experience we will ever have?

      By the same token, Biden was tied for dead last in the 2008 primary. Things change.

        That’s an interesting factoid, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere. Do you have a source on that?

      She’s an adequate candidate for the task at hand, which is beating Trump. Biden no longer is.

        That’s far from a assured. She has a ton of issues on her own.

          She’s an improvement over Biden. And just look at all the time, money, and effort Republicans wasted against someone who’s no longer even running. They’re flailing and trying to find something that will stick.

            Improvement cognitively, I don’t know if I’d say she’s and Improvement in any other way whatsoever.
