This would be bad news for Kamala—can’t have two Californians on the ticket

She won't be within smelling distance of either spot in 2024.

To use sports analogies, she can't hit a major league curve ball. Tulsi Gabbard proved that, and the footage isn't going away.

Like Carole Mosely-Braun, she checked a lot of boxes. That gets you an interview, not much more.

In a crowded field, it should have been easy for her to prepare and diffuse, either becoming a Sanders lite, or a younger, darker, prettier, sharper Joe Biden, reassuring old line, mopneyed, and pagmatist Dems. Ride either of those plausibly, and you have place or show in the earlier primaries, and a huge pile of delegates from California. She remained a cipher with the wind at her back (at first).

One of the great things about FR is that you get to expand your vocabulary.
