> He makes the same point about Rubio. IMO, there’s an element of modern day racism in all this. You don’t see white candidates get hyped this way. Every young minority is a potential superstar but as with white people, most are actually just mediocre politicians. And they end up getting exposed before they are ready for prime time because they got talked by the media into running too soon. Which in the long run makes it impossible to get a minority President unless they have Barack Obama talents. They can’t all be Barack Obama. Most are just… Marco Rubio.

I’m glad you brought up Rubio. You were absolutely in love with that guy and there’s no way in the world that Kamala Harris disappointed **you** more than Marco Rubio did.

> If it’s Rubio, I predict he’ll own a 60% rating around the time of the convention. This isn’t a crazy prediction.

Hilariously crazy prediction.
