I remember all the young woman who were crying in 2016 when Trump beat Hillary and crushed their dreams. It's far worse now for them as a result of that defeat. Maybe the greatest advantage which you covered well is her ability to mobilize that defeat of women and turn it into victory. I can't imagine that this time the women of our country will allow it to happen again.

Add in the LGBT vote which is huge as well and the rainbow coalition wave now cresting will be bigger than ever. She should probably pick Mayor Pete but she won't because she already has that group sewed up nice and tight because of her long track record of defending them. It'll be a more moderate straight white male governor of a swing state because the moderate independents are really the end game in winning.

The other beautiful thing is that she was a great prosecutor. What is more poetic than a loyal wife and mother holding a life long philanderer and serial cheater accountable for all of his misdeeds on a stage from which there is no retreat for him. I would not want to be in a seat that hot and Trump will get roasted in some extremely uncomfortable ways over and over that will endear her to females, and males alike. They can see through his disgusting lifelong track record of mistreating women and children of every color at every opportunity.

Allow us to dream of a tsunami of minority interest groups and a whiteout of moderate well educated and independent men and woman, led by young people, uniting to create a blue wave that will once and for all remove the Orange Stain from soiling the bedsheets of this great nation again. We are sick and tired of being force-fed the freak show at the circus on the right every single day of our already too short lives. Let's roll.

I like it! Also, your idea for her VP pick as Mark Kelly is compelling...

Great analysis, Barry. Biden has created “Joe-mentom” by stepping aside early enough to build the support that VP Harris needs to win, and late enough to force the opposition to lock in a truly awful and despicable ticket.

Vote Blue, and I’ll be with you!

Thanks for this, Barry. It represents the new energy that Joe Biden carefully crafted for Kamala Harris. What an amazing pair of leaders.

Yes, this will be remembered as a truly unique and unselfish moment - a concept alien to Trump!
