It is early. I'm also bad making political predictions. But it's never stopped me before. While I continue to think best candidates are @KamalaHarris @ewarren & @amyklobuchar, in a practical sense this is a two person race between Biden & whoever emerges as his prime challenger.
I think Bernie will falter/lose his position as the candidate of the left. His time has come & gone & frankly, Warren is a better progressive flag bearer. But in a practical sense I don't think she will end up being perceived as able to win nationally at the top of the ticket.
Though Harris is from California and she currently lags Bernie and in some cases Warren in the polls, her appeal can work in more different types of national political settings and I think in the end she has a better chance of truly energizing the Obama coalition than Biden.
Again, all caveats and clarifications in place, I think it is already a two-horse race between the two of them for any credible shot at a Dem nomination that can win. If Harris is the candidate, I think she needs someone from the Midwest or South as her running mate.
Klobuchar, @PeteButtigieg, and @staceyabrams would be great choices. @SenSherrodBrown would be the best choice. Have I mentioned I am terrible at this? Why share all this? Well, isn't Twitter a place for floating passing ideas with a few close friends?
Note: I will support any Dem candidate currently running except @TulsiGabbard. And I think there are many candidates who are really terrific. And I admit a strong bias toward a woman candidate because the three best candidates are women. And...and...and...
