Now that Joe has been publicly deemed unfit for testimony – making him unfit for office (which I think was deliberate) – the crat is out of the bag. Everyone can accept that the plan was to replace Joe before the November Election. It’s not a hard guess to make, honestly.
Joe was a mess in 2020. Kamala was a strategic choice to keep the DNC from replacing him sooner. But her political shelf-life expired then and there, which might be the one good thing the Bidens did for America. Harris will not be on the November ticket either, so who is? How will it happen? Who will get anointed, and when?
The J6 commission was a Hollywood-produced, made-for-TV miniseries with less credibility than most -so-called reality television. The DNC Convention will be much the same—a performance written by Hollywood writers and producers, directed like a major motion picture. The wise leader will pass the torch to someone else after his adoring fans anoint him (the appearance of choice) because of (mental) health reasons. He’s just too old for this anymore.
I would not be surprised if they rolled Joe out in a wheelchair with a male nurse.
But the Dems have to overcome a host of hurdles (messes) left behind by Biden and the Obama minions who created it, and the White House Social Behavioral and Science Team (The Nudge Unit) is likely hard at work sculpting the appearance of choice for Democrats and America that will be easy to swallow. Some say Newsom is likely a replacement, and more recently, it will be Michelle Obama. Despite her hatred of DC, she will take one for the team and finish what Barry started.
Whatever the decision, Democrat leadership never planned to make a change before the Convention (if it could be helped), and they will do everything they can to keep Joe upright for fear of a President Kamala. Harris would be worse for the Presidential election and every down-ticket seat. It would be a wipeout.
Joe could die, and they would say he was in a coma. Arrange prayer vigils as if depopulation secular humanists pray for life. Obama’s minions would continue to ruin the country while Kamal was locked down and kept out of the public eye as much as possible. Taped, highly scripted, and edited messages might be workable until the Convention.
Not that this will be a problem. I think Joe will make it to his finish line—the DNC convention, after which he will be expected to do very little as a degenerating lame duck. Eat ice cream. Sniff children. Take naps. His replacement will get all the attention.
Michelle Obama could put a fire under Democrats and might stop the electoral bleeding among black voters, but almost no one else will like the choice. The Obama years were not economically promising, and the economy is the biggest issue, so the left has a problem. Not to replace Biden but with whom. There are no Democrats who have a good record on the economy. And success will depend not so much on the person as the story. And it might not be one where Joe’s replacement can “take up Joe’s legacy.” His legacy sucks.
So, here’s where you come in. Who does the DNC choose and why? And while we are speculating, who does the new Democrat candidate pick as a running mate?
