| Michelle Obama tops Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton and Gavin Newsom as a replacement for Joe Biden, 81, if he drops out: New poll reveals who Democrats would want on the ticket and how likely they feel he WON'T run |
| 2024-02-27 |
[DM]
Sixty-year-old Michelle Obama has said multiple times she isn't interested in running for office and has admitted she is 'terrified' of the outcome of this year's election. But she still hasn't addressed recent theories that her name could be on the Democratic ticket if Biden were to leave the race. |

| #16 Just checked Sportsbet in Oz. Newsome for the Dem nomination is 8/1. Tempting. |

| #15 Yes, it is important to note they have had two real years of Oh Shit to game a plan. |

| #14 Sundance ar CTH has a piece today that focuses on Obama’s minions talking about Jojo being too old and unfit. The article says such undermining of the Puppet Show can only be green lit if a plan has been approved by the real powers behind the rapidly crumbling facade. The article closes with a picture hint. Newsom and Susan Rice! |

| #12 The news flash is there are three people more unlikable. Mr. Potato Head turning to mush was a considered feature back in 2020; we just didn't think the medical technology was up to rolling him past 2022, nevermind today. Ladies and Gentlemen, you are looking for medical miracles, we bring you Kamala Harris. |

| #11 ^Kamala is the bigger problem for them. Joe can’t do an SRA assignment even at the aqua level at this point. They can take Joe out at any time. To Tom’s point, Joe is a compliant sack of potatoes. Kamala is incompetent and not compliant. If McCarthy was still speaker, the Dems would likely roll the dice on the replacement VP process, but Johnson will block anything outrageous. |

| #10 The media will eagerly support whatever solution the Dems go forward with. Qualifications do not matter, work ethic does not matter. |

| #9 And, "Dr." Jill is a fly in the ointment. Will she let herself be bought off, or will she have to take the Ron Brown plane ride? |

| #7 Why do people keep bringing up Chewbacca's b!tch love child as the Dem savoir? She's more averse to hard work than Bernie Sanders is, and even that withered ol' commie got out there and managed a Presidential run for a few months. Ain't gonna happen, evah! |

| #6 My sense is she has lived far too soft a life now to be willing to actually undergo the rigors of even the most sheltered campaign. The unknown is what coercion factors might exist to overcome that! |

| #5 Biden is the ideal candidate for the bureaucracy both in the federal government and in the Democrat party. He is unable to interfere with them at all, and so they have free rein to indulge all thier megalomaniacal projects. They will fight tooth and nail to keep him. |

| #4 She's an unknown commodity. She has never campaigned on her own. She has never really experienced the heat of the kitchen but if she does she'll be just as much a puppet as Biden. It might be interesting to watch if she ever goes off-script and tries to speak without a teleprompter. People might get to see just how ugly she is. |

| #3 A contested convention will look like the GOP speaker competitions. I am looking forward to seeing which folks decide to give Hillary a thumbs down. That’s got to impact your insurance policy rates. |

| #2 Alternate headline: Michelle Obama tops list of candidates even more unlikable than she is. As we peer into the crystal ball, we see that not only is Michelle Obama the candidate, but 'she' has come out as trans. Vote for the first Black Trans President or you're all a bunch of raciss' bastiges! |
