(37,648 posts)There really weren't that many, as I recall, but they were VERY eager supporters and would never admit that Kucinich wouldn't get the nomination.
Nowadays young people ask, "Who's Kucinich?"
I'll never forget Bill Maher's joke: "We have to agree that even if Kucinich doesn't get the nomination, his new wife gets to be the First Lady." LOL. (she was beautiful)

(99,711 posts)You cited two online polls while conveniently ignoring the A- rated cellphone/landline poll:

that shows Kamala Harris nearly tied for the lead.

(99,711 posts)Almost every poll shows that, especially the quality ones. My original post should be seen more as an acknowledgement of reality than a preference though I do like her. I also like Cory, Joe, Pete, and Marianne.

(99,711 posts)I said she was on the verge of becoming the front runner. The upward trajectory of her poll numbers suggest she is.
Also, she is already leading, by far, in the betting markets:

She also is leading among Hispanics:

That's a large constituency.

(32,793 posts)Not recently, but Hillary has been quoted several times as saying she doesnt believe America is ready for a woman president
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
MarvinGardens
(779 posts)But women have been elected as leaders around the world, even in places supposedly less "advanced" than we are. I think we should not worry too much about the gender of the candidate, whomever it is, that we decide is our best candidate. However, it does take charisma and "that special something", something that is difficult to quantify, to win more that a narrow victory.
Hillary was more than qualified to be president. And she won a narrow victory, but given our Electoral College that was not enough. But she did not lose because she was a woman, she lost because she did not have that special something. During the debates, I made a list of the candidates who had it. Kamala is on that list, near the top.

I like her and I like Warren.... so far.
I also like mayor Pete.

(15,512 posts)And let's say Harris, Warren, Biden, and Bernie make it that far. What happens when the votes are cast? Harris and Warren split the Indivisible vote, the three of them split the abolish-ACA vote, and Warren and Harris split the pro-busing vote if there is such a thing, which I sort of doubt.
That leaves the lion's share if not the majority to Joe. Depending on how the delegates are assigned, he gets all or most from each state including CA until he's over the top. Which will probably be on Super Tuesday.
So the chances are very good that we'll keep our 3 wonderful senators in the senate whatever it might look like now.

ucrdem
(15,512 posts)We didn't know much about her when she ran for AG and Senate in CA, other than her amazing background, but now that she's burned through that in a failed take-down of Joe that leaves her actual accomplishments of which she gave us a taste on Thursday. In other words, she showed us who she is and I don't think a majority of actual primary voters are going to like it.

(99,711 posts)She will say that was then and this is now. Suburban moms will love her. She will say she is for Medicare for all who want it.

(15,512 posts)Why do you think suburban moms (and dads) are suburban in the first place? The first thing they usually say is "good schools." Try selling suburban moms on mandatory busing.
