As much as I think she’d make a great president, there are some critical questions to be answered:

How much money can she raise for the primaries and the general, compared to her competitors?

How will she defeat her primary competitors, who will likely include Newsom, Beshear, Murphy among others?

How does she turn the label “radical leftist socialist” from a pejorative into a strength with enough voters to win?

Does she even want to run?

On the plus side, I think she would generate tremendous enthusiasm and increase turnout among young voters…but would it be enough?
