Speculation has begun about the 2024 Democratic presidential ticket, almost three years before the election. Some of the suggestions are blasted as risible. But the early chatter itself reveals the nervousness that permeates the party. In the past week alone, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman held out the possibility of anti-Trump Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) being added as President Biden’s 2024 running mate. (Snip) Straddling the line between reality and fantasy is a long-cherished notion for many Democrats: a Michelle Obama candidacy. The former first lady would be a formidable contender. But she has been crystal clear in CORRECTION*

More navel gazing and all they see is lint.

Yeah, Moochie is so formidable that they had to hide her in hotel rooms and feed her champagne and lobster in 2008. She was tanking Obama's campaign because she is one of the nastiest and most toxic democrats in the party right now. So she spent the last 6 weeks in hiding so Obama could salvage his campaign.
She would truly be a puppet, allowing others to run the show. She has no interest in doing the work, but she would probably love the title. At least she doesn't cackle, but Moochie does snarl well.

In November 2022, the political career of Liz Cheney will cease and she'll be a regular guest on MSNBC shows. Look for California Gov. Gavin "Noxious" Newsom to spout his "repair" tips to the electorate sheep and accelerate very close to the top.

Yes, Moochie has a toxic personality, #2, but Biden was a drooling, doddering fool during the 2020 campaign and they still managed to get him elected by smoke, mirrors, and Dominion machines. The big Mooch would simply be a figurehead to keep all the talk-show feminists in swoon mode.

All three want to be candidates, Michele O., Hillary and Liz Cheney are so despised that they would make the first cut.

The bench is very shallow: HrC, Mookie, Newsom, Warner, AOC, Cuomo.

2024 will likely be a Republican landscrape...Dems have played, and can be expected to overplay their hands until November '24. They're too deep into at least lip service to the radical agenda...and they have their GOPe UNIPARTY partner to help them along the way.
Now, here's the Republican problem. FPDT can return from Elbe/West Palm and announce. The field will clear. And after his election one can hear the GOPe tut-tutting about how they hope he has learned his lessons, etc. That he will put down the Twitter and all that. Be a "uniter", not a divider. And with that the Dems and their minions will start up with the neverending string of kitchen sinks...and the GOPe will complain that nothing can get done...impeachment will be "on the table" the day FPDT announces. And here we go again.
PDT served his purpose. It's time to pass the baton. And to whom? The Reagan Revolution faltered under his hand-picked successor. There are no guarantees that DeSantis or anyone else will satisfactorily move it forward. Another lesson is Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft...1912 and the Bullmoose party...Woodrow Wilson...

It is totally amazing that the dems and sometimes the repubs push people that have no experience in leadership and no experience outside of government.
I am not amazed that media push Senators as candidates. The media and most Senators share the same non-qualifications of plenty of words spoken (or written) with little accomplishments and no accountability.

Mitch would not be a formidable co tender. He / she is a nasty piece of work who accomplished even less than Hillary and that is saying something. A racist as well. Would lose big to any experienced Republican.

It is true that Michael is a nasty piece of work but noxious personalities are bundant on the left and it never seems to affect their candidacies. The true reason The first wookie will never run for office is simple. She is one of the laziest people on the planet. Even the miniscule amount of work Obama did in office (the laziest POTUS by a long shot) was far more than she would ever agree too.
She would much rather sit at the head table as slimy sycophamts swoon and adulate her while she sips champagne and eats lobter someone else had to crack than actually get up an do something. WHy risk doing anything you could be held responsible for when those you surround yourself with will swoon as you take credit for all the things others took the risk for.

Just because someone was married to a president, doesn't make them qualified for the highest office on the land.

I figured this was coming when the Media started giving Cuomo the treatment they usually give Republicans.
The tried-and-true Sex Scandal Headline after Headline. The media tried it with Justice Clarence Thomas, they tried it with Trump, they tried it with attorney Dershowitz, they tried it with Brett Kavenaugh, they tried it with Matt Gaetz, and many others. That they turned it on Cuomo told me loud and clear.... the 'Rats in the Democ'RAT Party have picked their 'golden boy/girl/it' for 2024, and they want Cuomo -who, although a scum, has national name recognition and would probably be a stronger candidate- OUT of the WAY. So, give him the Sex Scandal treatment, dirty him up so that when people hear 'Cuomo' they think 'sex abuser'. The 'Rats only have a few plays in their playbook, and after years of watching them, this one is obvious.
Who have they pre-selected? I have no idea. I'm just a regular guy all the way down South in Mississippi.
But I saw this tactic from 1,000 miles away.
