I'm thinking the closest analog for the 2020 Dem primaries could be 2004. Field was ostensibly wide open, Dean attracted early energy and attention, but ultimately voters coalesced around the more "electable" candidate (Kerry) because their overriding objective was to beat Bush

Here is my issue and it really comes to focus. Its Tulsi with the Nod. Period. Everyone has baggage and Abrams got sympathy votes over the loss in GA, but would be a symbolic win if she enters and get the nod, but a disastrous general.

I imagine Kamala's career as a prosecutor is not going to do her any favors

The explanation for why Abrams has more natural attachment to black voters would interesting. Clearly.

Spartacus' lack of racial authenticity was a primary talking point of Sharpe James' mayoral campaign in Newark in which he defeated Booker. Booker grew up in the wealthiest county in NJ which is one of the wealthiest in U.S. He is phony in every way.

Agreed, Californians think that they are in touch with the average Joe, but they aren't at all, especially these days. Abrams is much more Americana.

Yeah, blacks base everything on race, which is why they overwhelmingly favor Biden. Idiot

While I wait to find out if you are black or not, let me ask you this? Why does it matter? I guess race will not matter until we are all unidentifiable by race.

I remember a lot of talk that Obama wasn't an authentic African American because he wasn't down for the struggle. The John Lewis endorsement took care of that for him and turned Obama into a serious challenger to Hillary in 2008.

She's less of a grandstander than Kamala and Cory so she comes more authentic in general

The upside of Biden-Abrams is, potentially, a couple points uptick in black turnout / dem loyalty here & there. The downside can be seen in Mondale-Ferraro 1984. Biden is every bit as beta as Mondale, & Abrams as mate would magnify this to public, just like Ferraro pick in ‘84.

I misread the tweet I replied to and thought it was referring to a hypothetical Biden-Abrams ticket. Still, I’ll let the reply stand on its own, since I think the point remains relevant.

Booker is black? Do the blacks know?
