If I went out on the streets of the average American city this morning and asked 100 people who Candidate X is, how many would know?
Where X could be:
Kamala Harris
Cory Booker
Kirsten Gillebrand
Howard Schultz
Elizabeth Warren
Julian Castro
Amy Klobuchar
Tulsi Gabbard
Sherrod Brown
Pete Buttigieg
John Delaney
In the blue part of Indiana where I live, I think Warren would be recognized. Maybe Harris. South Bend is a good distance away, but you might have some who would recognize Buttigieg. I think the rest would get me a blank stare.
I’m rooting for a Buttigieg-Klobuchar 2020 ticket. It has a nice ring to it and just rolls off he tongue. I think the bumper sticker folks have small enough fonts to make it work.
A LOT more on at least 4 of those names than you think.
Surprised you listed them. Kamala, Booker, Gillebrand, Warren, Delaney...but absolutely Kamala, Booker and Warren
