Harlow gushed, “What sort of hole would she fill with her candidacy if she opts in that isn’t filled with a candidate so far?” Referencing Abrams’ tweet announcing 2020 was "on the table," she added, “Is there any risk here of going too fast?”

Ball agreed there was “always a risk” for new candidates, but that it was Abrams’ time to “seize her moment” for 2020:

“Sure, that's always a risk for up-and-coming candidates, but I think if you're a politician, you always want to be seizing your moment if you have one,” she gushed, adding, “You know, Stacey Abrams is ambitious and talented.” She went on to argue that Abrams’ “fresh face” and “new and compelling voice” could stand out in the field of “old white men” on the ticket:

Uh, srsly? No, really? Well with the current field, why not right? If she's as on point and articulate as she was on the SOTU re-butt-all, how could she go wrong.

Every failed candidate from 2018 should run for President in 2020, such as the Democratic candidates for governor of Florida and of Tennessee. Why should Abrams have all the attention?

She was only a state Rep. in Georgia - from there to the White House? They are nuts.

The bookmakers are queuing up her odds right now. She is running 18 paces behind a Cold Day in Hell who is running on a broken leg.

The fat, gap-toothed, doubly-protected, socialist loser hole. I don’t think the democrats have one of those yet for 2020. Come on in!

She owes the IRS 50 grand and has a ton of student loan and credit debt. In that respect she brings unique experience to the table in all things economic. Personal and financial failure are assets when it comes to Democrat candidates.

Yes it seems that there is a goodly number of Democrats running for president that have shady pasts, like Farticus Booker and sex abuse and Beto the Bozo fleeing the scene of a hit and run.

Don’t underestimate her. She is extremely popular among black women, and liberals who want to virtue-signal. She nearly stole the governor’s election here in Georgia and now she and the media claim it was stolen from her!
