To be fair, the last time she was in a national election, everyone thought she would be a formidable candidate but she did terribly, and was widely considered a surprisingly poor campaigner. So there is a data point.
Yes, but that campaign was a primary which means that data point was comprised of people who read Jacobin and were ride or die for Bernie Sanders, and old people.
Everyone had to pull punches in the primary because no one wanted to damage the eventual nominee too much. She did much better once positioned as a Veep candidate since her direct opponent was fuckin Pence.
she was fucking great on the debate stage though. I don't really like her that much (about the same as Joe, not knowing where she lands on israel) but I LOVED seeing her debate
