Democrats are fretting about President Biden’s low approval ratings, exacerbated by widespread concerns about his age. Those factors seem to be getting worse rather than better. A CNN/SSRS poll released this week showed just 39 percent of adults approving of Biden’s job performance, his lowest number in more than a year. Almost three-quarters of the population, according to the poll, believes Biden lacks the stamina and sharpness to serve effectively as president. (Snip) Even so, plenty of Democrats are at least daydreaming of alternatives, just in case Biden would decide to step aside or circumstances would change unexpectedly. Here are

No mention of Kennedy or Williamson as viable replacements (nor Cornell West, either). And what about the dark horse Michelle Obama, perhaps the most likely of all?

Socket Puppet 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I guess when Kamel A Hairass called Big Bidet a racist during the debates, she didn't understand that the entire process is rigged and prearranged- er, uh, managed.

Michelle Obama has REPEATEDLY stated she has no interest in the job #1. She isn't going to be president. She doesn't want to be.

Most of them are not bright enough to realize it, but Democrats don’t just have a dumb & demented candidate problem, they have a destructive & depraved ideology problem.

His numbers suck because everyone knows he is flat-out lying to their faces about ‘Bidenomics”. It’s a freaking disaster. People know their bank balances and most are dwindling under his oppressive economic policies and profligate spending. He is lying to everyone’s faces and telling them they don’t see what they clearly see. He is toast.

Judge the credibility of this piece when you note that AOC is on the list.
Why not Ilhan Omar?

I'm surprised there are not more people coming forward as possible replacements for FJB. As you know, getting the Democrat nomination for president is tantamount to winning the election, this because of recent and now embedded methods of vote harvesting and counting.

You can tell the Propaganda Machine is awake this weekend. Check this out:
“ Buttigieg’s key strengths are his intelligence and his communication skills, especially on television.”
Plus which, none of these appear to be interested in being the front (wo)man to The Lightbringer’s machinations behind the curtain, especially Brylcream Boy.
The only one who fits that bill is Big Mike.

Of course, one of the dem candidates would be Governor Brylcream Newsom,. His announcement yesterday (that he's "moving on" from the idea of running in 24) had to be dishonest in some way, and this shows how. The others listed are nearly just as bad, Wretched Witless? Occasional Cortex? Hooker Harris? Good grief. Might as well run Pelosi....

No. 3, over the years how many other people have denied interest in running for president only to throw their hat in the ring later? Or to allow themselves to be "persuaded" to run? I don't know exactly, but the number isn't close to zero.

A semi reasonable column until AOC. She makes Kamala look like a Rhodes Scholar. She doesn't even know the three branches of the Federal Government. She was the spokes person for the Green New Deal which proposes to get rid of airplanes and other nonsense. AOC is a joke. Not that the other aren't. But she is the bottom of the barrel.

I got to the AOC part of the story and could not finish the article, I was laughing too hard.
The Dems only have one reasonable choice, and that is the governor of CA, and even he is a long shot at best.
