She wants to be forever known as a Presidential candidate or whatever they call people that try and fail to get the nomination of their party.  About all she is going to do is waste her time and her donor's money.  She literally has zero chance if both Trump and DeSantis are in the race.  Same goes for Pompeo, Pence, Scott and the others.  I generally like them all even if some of them are a little squishy for my taste, but none have a chance.  Probably she is angling for the VP slot.  Of the list I prefer Sen Scott from SC but he has no more chance than the others.

One thing I will say for certain is whoever wins better not pick someone based on the thinking they will attract the female vote or the black vote or the Hispanic vote.  People vote for the President, not the VP.

Do you think Palin helped, hurt, or had no effect on McCain's loss? 

Harris may have won the election for Biden by helping the black turnout in Atlanta and other big  Dem cities. It was turnout as they were Dems  who supported Biden but turned out due to Harris.

I think Palin didn't hurt McCain in the general.  He was not a great candidate because the base was not enamored with him and she probably helped a bit with that.  But I seriously doubt any GOP candidate was going to beat Obama.

As for Harris helping Biden with the black vote I doubt that very much.  She didn't even make it beyond Iowa where she had 3% support with a black population of over 12%.  I think her record as a DA is not one that endeared her to black voters.  And for some reason as we saw in SC Biden does well with the black vote, especially with the right endorsements.

Sadly they are voluntarily on the Democrat party plantation.  LBJ knew what he was doing.  I can assure you if Trump had been a Democrat he would be on his third term right now.

At this stage of the game, I don't rule anyone out, but I don't thik she will be the nominee.  I don't think she is a horrible choice, but I don't see her as being a household name.

I would estimate that the majority of the AA vote in Atlanta in 2020 could not have told you who the VP candidate was.

Nor could they tell us who the current VP is.
