No to Michelle in all forms. She will tease the idea to keep her at the peak of national interest but she does not do real work. You can argue that Joe does not either but it does catch up with you eventually and can ruin your legacy if you get caught in a bad international or domestic conflict. Michelle is raking in massive bucks and is treated like a goddess. No way she is going to give up. She is wayyy to lazy. It is true though that both she and Barry are keenly interested in installing their person- who ever that turns out to be and then they will lead the shadow government through that person. Their favorite used to be Susan Rice and they put a lot of work into getting her elected but it did not work out. I don't who her replacement would be. Certainly not dumbo Kamala. I don't think they know who their appointed and annointed one would be. They have a dilemma right along with everyone else in regard to Joe hanging on. The Obama's put lots of work into trying to talk Joe out of running both the first and second time. Didn't work. Now we are all screwed. Michelle and Barry own a big house just down the street in DC though. They are fully prepared to be helicopter presidents to the actual dem president so that they can get in on all the celeb stuff.
Lol. Yes, we certainly live in interesting times. I know everyone thinks Gavin is out because he gave the illegals medical benefits... but maybe him?
On second thought Tree... I dunno... America is funny when it comes to voting and popularity contests. I don't think Taylor Swift will run... although if she did she'd more than likely garner 40% of the vote... I wouldn't be so quick to write off Michelle. I mean who else is there? You have to bear this in mind.... 80% of the voters don't keep up with these things like you do. Where the rubber meets the road, it's whoever Facebook endorses and puts in their face day after day. I know that's f'd up... but it's true.
Newsom is already running and he is the only name that others can think of so he would be in the mix. As I have said several times though, I don't really see any real support for Newsom east of Sacramento- as turned out to be the case with Kamala. She also was the top of the list, knee-jerk winner until she wasn't. Jim Clyburn is not going to be out there humping for Whitey-Tighty Newsom, I can tell ya that. Gretchen Whitmore's name gets mentioned but I am not one to discuss her in an unbiased manner. She is a very creepy person so the dems would be the ones with the arguments for her. Might be a few rounds and refrains and calls for Hillary too. We know the dems are not well.
Lol... You can't fool me. You're guarding your true thoughts here lol.... because you don't want to be slammed later by our in-house cadre of extreme lefties. We need some predictions. And I'm certainly not putting you on the spot for them. Where's @UsualName?
I am not sure that Taylor Swift is old enough but maybe the Secretary of State in Maine will give her a waiver for the rest of the country.
I would expect also that Dean Phillips would ramp up more too to see what the limits of his traction are or are not. Depends on when Joe drops out. Is that next week, next month, or at the convention or after the convention? It matters because if it is very late in the game it becomes who the convention picks and not who is running for months.
Ok.... but doesn't the DNC convention (and I'm way out of my sphere here).... but don't they have the ability to chose whoever they want if Joe bails out?
