Handicapping 2020: Elizabeth Warren

Strengths:  already a national figure; very bright; strong grasp of policy details; acceptable to fundis; gets under Trump’s skin.

Weaknesses:  Stop me if you’ve heard this before–a smart, uncharismatic, middle-aged white woman running against Donald Trump.

Prognosis:  She only wins if the Democratic electorate decides that a virtual rematch of the 2016 election is a good idea, which it isn’t.
