Kamala has long been called female Obama. She could repeat the history of a junior senator winning presidency. She is tough as nails, speaks boldly and cut BS right away.

Winning combo?

and discrimination.
Regarding Edwards position on abortion and guns. He needs to say Roe v Wade is settled law and should not be overturn and will support a background check on gun buyers.

is an uncompromising gun controller.

pro life and pro gun then hell no.

while he is pro gun, he supports criminal background checks?

he would have to say so, loud and clear, with no exceptions. That would make him pro choice.

If he supports criminal background checks and other gun safety measures I'd have to hear him preach it, and would need to look at his voting record and NRA score.

And he's good to use a middle name, or he reminds too many people of someone they'd rather forget.

Louisiana is a right wing haven. He benefited from a GOP that was divided into Jindal and Vitter factions that were at each other's throats. That will not happen again. Attorney General Jeff Landry is already running, and he's saying all the right things about guns, Jesus, and gays that will get him elected. I don't take any pleasure in saying this, but JBE as VP nominee would not even bring his own state into the Democratic fold.

As for our presidential candidate, I think we are insane to waste energy on that now. The Senate and the House will be tough fights next year no matter how horrible Trump is. While Democratic candidates are begging for $25 contributions nationwide, the Kochs will give the Republicans half a billion again, and so will Adelson and Mercer. We can't match the money, so we need a better message, and "we are too concerned with the 2020 primaries to worry about Congress in 2018" had better NOT be it.
