and actually showed O how it's done.

His time has passed though. Harris/Beto, two young, attractive Dems would be hard to beat.

Women of color, as a voting bloc, are the backbone of the Democratic Party and we’re really leading the way with these issues, and we’ve shown that we can get behind candidates of different genders and different races and really affect an election,” Allison said. “But now we’re demanding way more from the candidates. They need to speak directly to us, and anything short just isn’t going to cut it.”

The survey from She the People questioned 264 women of color across the country. Of the people surveyed, 50% of the women identified as black, 40% as Latinx, 16% as Asian, and 5% as Native American. The survey was conducted from Nov. 29, 2018, through Dec. 13, 2018.

You might also consider a copy and paste to the link. HERE IS THE ACTUAL COPY AT THE LINK:

Survey asked black women to say who's among their top three candidates: Harris: 71.1% Beto: 38.3% Biden: 25% Booker: 24.2% Warren: 22.3% Abrams: 15.2% Bernie: 12.1% Bernie's never going to be the nominee unless he turns these numbers around

A national survey of women of color political organizers, activists, donors, and party leaders shows Sen. Kamala Harris as an overwhelming early favorite of the group ahead of the 2020 presidential election.


The survey from She the People questioned 264 women of color across the country. Of the people surveyed, 50% of the women identified as black, 40% as Latinx, 16% as Asian, and 5% as Native American. The survey was conducted from Nov. 29, 2018, through Dec. 13, 2018.


If it were just African American Women I don't think Bernie would get anything.

I think Harris would energize dem base in general election even more than Obama did in 2008. Unlike Obama she is extremely open and bold when she talks and with surgical precision of a former prosecutor. Plus she has all the charisma of Obama. IMO, Biden won’t turn out the dem vote the way Harris will. Like Beto she comes across as extremely honest and transparent. She is also a co-sponsor of medicare for all bill. We all know any dem nominee who does not support that has zero chance of winning in dem primary. Haven’t heard Biden supporting it. Healthcare will be the biggest issue in dem primaries. Love Biden but I continue to think that his time was running in 2016 when he would easily win the nomination but the country wants fresh blood now and more importantly, someone who will dominate media spotlight (Harris and Beto will eclipse all trump coverage, Biden won’t get much). California democrats are very knowledgeable and effective - look at Pelosi, Shiff, Harris, Feinstein, Boxer (former), Jerry Brown, Gavin Newsom, etc. Succesfully running the biggest state and one of the biggest and most succesfull economies is no slouch, can’t compete with that.

It's way to early for any polling results to be seen as a substantial indicator of what will happen.
