According to the magic talking box and the talking heads
appearing therein the DNC is now actively scouting for talent to replace
Joe The Hairsniffer. These efforts are (allegedly) not yet
in-your-face but now far beyond the "Lets run this up the flag pole and
see if anybody salutes" stage.
Unfortunately
the bench is very, very thin. Most people seem to think that a
breathing Joe Biden is better than any form of Kamala Harris, and they
are probably right. But short of a Supreme Court post the chances of
getting rid of Kamala are essentially zero.
My
guesstimate is that Gavin Newsom, the God-Emperor of the formerly great
state of California, is right now the only pick that has even the
slightest chance of being acceptable both to the party and the
electorate on a sufficiently broad scale to actually get elected.
Of
course it is distinctly possible the talking heads are getting
gaslighted, or are merely projecting their own insecurities onto the
situation.
It will be
interesting to see if Senile Joe actual does pass on New Hampshire and
Iowa, and who does well there if he does pass. RFK Jr. is not a
complete nonentity and has, if nothing else, name recognition. There
are still a lot of people out there who would vote for a bucket of shit
if it had a D written on it. The Kennedy mystique is good for another
5%, maybe more.
It is
for practical purposes very difficult to deny the nomination to a
sitting president who WANTS to give it another go. But not impossible.
Ideally (for them) the movers and shakers will be able to convince Joe
to walk away peacefully so he can enjoy his six or seven grandchildren.
I am not going to be the rent on that happening.
Fun fun fun.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Real deal? This sounds more like a bunch of phony conspiracy theories.
