However I don’t think race and gender are the reason her campaign and standing have been the most disappointing of the primary season.

Barack Obama was elected to the Presidency twice. Hillary Clinton won the nomination in 2016. Currently, although not running, Michelle Obama easily beats everyone in the field according to the most recent polling. Right now Elizabeth Warren is leading the pack for 2020. And she came from way back in the field to earn her front runner status.

Race and gender are not the reason in this particular case that her campaign is failing.

She sounds desperate to me.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
