He was a better candidate than Hillary, and Hilary was by far a better candidate than Kamala.
I suspect all Kamala did was reenergize the (D) turnout, so now we have two high-turnout candidates.
If Kamala and Walz are stupid enough to debate, they'll probably lose. If they keep hiding from any scrutiny or positions, they have a chance. But the race is always about swing states, and I can't imagine how two open progressives from two solidly progressive states will change the electoral math.
Either way, it's clear the Democratic party is as dead as the Republican party. I'm not sure what emerges from the ashes.
