As Joan Rivers said (a few days prior to her unexpected death during an entirely routine medical procedure): "We all know"
My hunch: African Americans among the ruling strata held their noses and celebrated as the "first black president" a man with a caucasian mother who had absolutely no personal or family connection with the African American experience but the far more numerous and prominent women in the ruling strata have made it clear that Michelle is not acceptable as "the first woman president".
True, they have a really thin bench to pick from. Reading comments all morning they all go back to the same couple of names. Deep bench to choose from-NO.
Yes, exactly. I genuinely think the DNC / Obama initial playbook was to let Joe have his one term in office and then Kamala could take over, with the caveat that if Joe deteriorated too quickly they'd have him resign partway through the term. All Kamala had to do was not come off as a complete moron.
Whoops.
The Democrats' hands have been tied ever since, and now combined with the fact that the Bidens clearly do not want to release their grasp of the One Ring, they've had a real dilemma on their hands for some time.
I do think that this debate was scheduled pre-convention quite intentionally to gauge just how bad Biden would perform. If he was at least sorta competent they could play Weekend at Bernie's with him for another four years. But now? Nope. He'll get ousted at the convention. Whether willingly or not.
We might question whether the kingmakers who took over the Democratic nomination process in 2020 ever wanted a competent candidate. Given President Biden's current mental state, it is highly unlikely that he is the one making the presidential decisions. If he is not, then someone else, unknown and completely unelected, is exercising that power. That someone is simply using Biden as a placeholder by which to rule the country, and probably has been since the beginning. To them, his dementia is a feature, not a bug.
Oh, they know the country is filled with LIVs and poor thinkers, and folks like Jonah and Frenchy and Rubin, et al, who have terminal TDS and will help carry the media's water, whatever explanation they settle on.
"Newsom has executive experience in America's biggest economy (would be the world's 7th-largest economy if it were a country), Kamala does not. The presidency is the toughest executive office in the world."
See how easy it will be to fool the millions of idiot voters among us?
If they switch in Newsome for Biden, then for the remaining debates we should switch in DeSantis for Trump. Goose, gander. DeSantis has already destroyed Newsom once; he'd do it again.
The swamp has killed off assets for smaller reasons. Dumping her shouldn’t be an issue for the swamp
They still haven’t answered for JFK, Seth Rich, Andrew Breitbart, J. McAfee - they kill pretty much as they please, not to mention the thousands of children trafficked and disappeared.
Pulling Biden is obviously necessary. The problem is that they have to find a plausible reason to pull Kamala as well.
They can’t just come out and say she isn’t qualified and never was, so they will need a valid reason. She is what complicates the whole thing.
The real albatross is Kamala imo...not Biden.
If they had a plausible backup they would've already dumped Biden in the bin. If the Dems bump Kamala they have to run a black woman.
The radical base will go nuts if they allow another white guy to be their candidate. That might leave the door open for Michelle Obama in my opinion.
but who knows....we shall see
Big Mike will never stand the ridicule from the rest of the world who know 'she' is a dude and who aren't afraid to say so.

I still wish DeSantis had the Republican nomination.
Non-stop video of the zombie apocalypse that is LA/SF is guaranteed.
