My takeaway from the Biden/Harris issue is that I sincerely hope that Democrats have learned a lesson. In my opinion, Harris was never utilized as the strong person she is in the role of VP. We never heard that much from her. She was and is definitely, imminently qualified. I don't pretend to know the reason for her not being pushed to the front of the Biden Administration more than she was, but she should have been pushed to the front on more issues - knowing that she would be a candidate at some point.
So, what is the lesson? Whomever the next candidate is needs to be OUT THERE. Preferably now. I don't think we need to narrow it down to ONE candidate right this minute, but serious contenders need to start NOW introducing themselves to the American public and showcasing (yes, absolutely "showcasing!!!"
their accomplishments. Smoozing at all the right places, being present when Trump chooses not to be present, etc.
There are some that I feel are already doing this. Cory Booker, for one. There are others. Hell, let a bunch do it. But start now.
