On the other hand, our 107-day presidential nominee Kamala Harris
was warning us about Trump BEFORE the election,
but it was mostly "lost in the noise"----
and like Michael Dukakis, she did little to "fight back"
against the GOP's late "anti-trans" ad campaign which did her in, in my judgement---
even though she seemed to have a lot of money to have done so---
Still, recent "do-over" polls show her now beating Trump by high single digits,
which also puts her "in the mix" for 2028---
Personally, for her to be "in the mix" for me in 2028,
I would need to see messaging from her that would energize
the progressives, African-Americans and Democratic economic populists in our party---
now freed from 'the burden' of being 'a loyal vice president',
she has the opportunity to DO SO!---
She has been a 'lady' up until now--- but now we need a pit-fighter!
