 How does Kamala Harris fare against the former president? I mean, the short answer is not really any better. For Democrats, they view this move as something that's going to improve their chances in the general election. That is based more on hope than it is on the numbers right now. Hope is not a strategy, as any child will tell you. But, you know, that's kind of all they got right now. Remember hope and change? Well, we got change.
