At the moment, that's secondary to putting the Trump Clown Show  on the cancelled list.  If she helps with that, I'm happy. More to the point, she's hard to assail as a radical lefty or a tyrannical law-and-order type, and she's basically a nice person.  I guess it goes without saying that she's an FOAK.

I think putting the clown show off the air gets us 4 years, but does not get us through the 4T or provide us with a leader that we need for the next 8 years. So I am very unhappy. But I don't know what a FOAK is. Sorry, acronyms are not my strong suit.

If you're right, and she's not electable, then a challenger will emerge from the roughly 100 Democrats aching for the job. The Progressive wing got stiffed in 2016 and steamrollered in 2020.  I don't see them being all kissy face nice if they see Kamala tanking ... or even if she's doing politically well, but is weak on moving policy forward.  Everyone knows now, if they didn't before, that this is the one time for a very long time, that real change is possible.

FOAK = First Of A Kind
