Epochal events like the coronavirus pandemic can change an awful lot of things in politics, as in other areas of life. Some pols lucky (or unlucky) enough to be in the spotlight are going to get a lot more public exposure than you could buy with a billion dollars worth of ads; some will do very well with all that exposure, while others may not. One who has done conspicuously well is suddenly appearing in prediction markets for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination:(Snip for tweet)And that has led a few conspiracy theorists (mostly conservatives, who figure anything negative about the presumptive presidential nominee
FTA: Biden will be the nominee, and if there is some party-wide panic between now and November, Democrats are more likely to turn to someone whose upside comes with no real downside.
Who has more upside than downside? The HildeBeast?

Back to "pick your poison" time. Yes, I'd prefer Cuomo (least progressive of all) to Biden because I'm afraid of who Biden will pick for his VP. That's critical, since that ridiculous option of the 25th amendment for Trump is certainly a possibility for Biden. It's all meaningless if Trump can defeat the MSM and the Dem vote finagling.

This is a disappointing, flimsy essay. It pokes at speculation such as John Fund, but never acknowledges the central problem: Joe Biden's obvious and perhaps accelerating mental deterioration.
Kilgore writes, "Barring something bizarre happening, Biden will be the nominee. . . ."
In the chronicle of American electoral politics, something bizarre (and sad) is happening. Joe Biden isn't even the man he was 6 months ago.
What are the Democrats going to do about it?

This article is so easy to beat down a toddler can do it. The Democrats will do what they are told to do. If the perception grows that Biden's cognitive decline is a reality they will have no problem to broom him.

Many of these governors such as Cuomo like all the attention. Just like the TV doctors.
The reporters are terrible. Cavuto had Rubio on last night and I got nothing out of it. Cavuto didn't even ask about the pork in the bill. My brother in law in CT just got a 25% pay cut. He has two in college and it will hurt him. He won't get a dime in aid even though he has been a taxpayer for years. Much of the aid goes to the shiftless. Surprisingly, Graham has been good.
Biden is becoming worse. He is almost getting sympathy now though I loathe him. I hate his tough guy image. I will never forgive him for his behavior during the Clarence Thomas hearings. Biden is a nasty thug.

I don't know that it is possible to predict what the dems will do because they are crazy and desperate.
Nasty Pelousy just walked into an obvious buzzsaw with a smile by trying to hold up the recovery bill, turning it into the biggest dem pork sandwich ever envisioned. The dems couldn't have passed it when BO first stood in front of the Greek columns. Yet, they not only proposed it, they BRAGGED they were using the crisis to ram it down America's throat. Sure, they chortled in private when they passed BOCare about stupid Americans and lied about what was in it but they knew they had to bamboozle the People and some of the Congress. This week, they planned to ram this through like offering a $2 trillion bottle of polluted, toxic water to a man crawling through a desert. They even clearly labeled the bottle.
With that kind of crazy, who knows what they will do?
I suspect Cuomo, on the other hand, is not quite as foolish as to engage in the dem mud wrestling contest. He would be better served to use the opportunity for good exposure and wait for 4 years. Of course he does have an enormous ego. Ego is why the dem party has come down to Communism and Senility for their choice and they only recently have started to worry that the American People might decide on "none of the above".

Puleeeeeze run Hillary!!! It will be glorious!!! Daily TV interviews with her insulting and lecturing America with her screeching voice and way ugly face!!! Denaldo Maginifico Trumpus (Latin) will destroy her with his daily briefings on what we are actually doing!!!
Taking shots at poor old Joe just won't be fair!!! Probably necessary...but he will seal his own fate with brain farts on every appearance. Maybe they can put him on crack or something? No? DemocRATs...you shall reap as you sow!!!

Andrew is making his case for 2024. He knows he can't beat Trump.

It is possible Biden will be made to pick (doubt if he has his own will or say) Cuomo as Veep - best of both worlds/

The Demos don't need no stinking' flu d-Etat to accomplish their goal. You can bet their plans already are in place.
The media will do their very best to keep blank Biden protected. Hilliary will be his choice for a female VP. She'll claim that together they can beat Trump because SHE already has, by 3 million votes. Joe will get "sick" at convenient times, but no worries---his "gutsy-gal" VP choice will step in to show she's got huevos. She'll become his voice. The Demos might even try to change the rules so SHE alone can debate Trump and Pence together---it's only fair you know. Dr Jill will prop up Old Blank Joe at the swearing-in ceremony.
And then there'll be Arkancide.

I think Biden is mentally and physically incapable of doing the job of the presidency. It is becoming increasingly apparent that he is in bad shape, and should be advised by those that care about him to withdraw.

#2, I don’t know how you come up with “least progressive” when referring to a guy who gleefully signed an “abortion right up to the moment of birth” bill.

It may well be that they have recognized that their chance of winning in November with ANY candidate is somewhere between zero and slim, so they want to "use up" their least valuable "candidate" on this suicide mission.

Any democrat seriously thinking of living in the White House is thinking 2024,
With that thought, it would not be helpful to approach that campaign with the stench of being the other half of a Biden/whoever ticket in 2020.

Cuomo may give good fireside chats, but we remember what a horror he was as head of HUD. AND we remember all too well how he was elected governor on a platform of cleaning up Albany........lots of work was done on the corruption and then, at the last moment, Andrew backed out. One can only imagine what happened. as this is a man who salivates over the Presidency.

#9, don't imagine that those are three different choices you listed there. They are not.

What I believe is Cuomo is being road tested right now as the VP pick. They know Biden could keel over or simply drop out at any time so their hope is to run the real candidate as the VP, so they have the back up all ready to slide into the top position at a moment's notice. This is the king of all attempts at fraud IMO, and they just cannot let it slide by without trying it on.
