By the way I don't see her as presidential material.
Give her a chance, more progressivism isn't necessarily the solution for everything.
I agree she's not presidential material, though. She's not a good fit for the nation as a whole, if that makes sense. Personally I think the D governor with the best potential for that is Andy Beshear, who would be both a good candidate on his own and a perfect running mate for a potential future Kamala Harris candidacy.
Thanks for the suggestion! I never leave any stone unturned. But according to my horoscope method, he has no chance (score 6-13). And being from a cherry-red state, he's probably too moderate for his rather-liberal Party to get nominated, despite doing a pretty-good job as governor.
As for Kamala Harris, if she is nominated she will lose, no matter WHO runs against her (score 3-17). And if she is nominated in 2024, by losing she could bring climate catastrophe to the entire planet. Kamala Harris was a poor presidential candidate who didn't even make it to 2020 and the primaries. The more she spoke, the more her audiences dwindled and her funds dried up. She well-demonstrated her very poor score. Both she and Beshear are boring speakers, as indicated by Mercury trine Saturn in their charts.
I'm pretty skeptical of astrology, but I'll keep an open mind. What's Biden's score?
Since the scores shift a bit after each election, since they are mostly empirical based, Biden's score before the election was 14-7, as was Bernie Sanders'. So either one of them I thought and predicted had a chance to narrowly defeat Trump (9-4 score), since their scores were close within the margin of error. Before the election, in October, I reorganized my system to make it more accurate and less cumbersome, and then I recalculated in case Biden won and in case Trump won. I went with Biden, and predicted he would win with his revised score of 16-6, which is slightly better than Trump's, which stayed the same. Biden won the popular vote by 7 million.
In these scenarios Sanders' score fell to 13-7, which suggests he might not have defeated Trump. And within the electoral college system, Biden won in 2020 with narrow victories in three states with a margin that added up to only about 43,000 votes, smaller than Trump's margin over Hillary in 3 states that gave him the electoral college in 2016. Hillary also won the popular vote, but lost 3 states by a total of 77,744. So Biden's win was very narrow, and I had always predicted a close election were Biden to be nominated. 43,000 votes is a narrow win.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's score kept going down as I revised and updated the system, and has ended up as 7-12. Trump always had the higher score.
