Today, we did a story about Joe Biden messing up his birthday greeting to Pete Buttigieg. His mental condition seems to be declining quickly. In my opinion, there is no way they can run this guy and convince the American public he's the choice for the next 4 years. I believe the Republicans could run a piece of carpet and win. It feels like the public has lost faith in the Democrats. I also think the Democrats know this and they won't risk it. They don't want to lose the Executive before they have the chance to expand the Supreme Court and give Puerto Rico statehood. I thought I would list the possible alternatives to Biden who is NOT Kamala because she is NOT an option. As I said, Democrats don't want to lose and they know the public really dislikes her. This is a little dated, but I don't think this is out of the realm of possibility. It gives Kamala a place to land and Black women would be more acce.pting of jumping over Kamala.

Before we get into it, here is my thought process. For the Democrats to skip Kamala, they have to choose a Black woman. Black women are the most consistent Democratic voter. They can't upset them. Just as Republicans could never push away Evangelical voters. With that out of the way, here are the options:
1. Susan Rice - this is an obvious choice. We are basically now in Obama's third term. There is pretty universal agreement about that. Rice would continue Obama's agenda into another four year term.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich says that Barack Obama is running Joe Biden’s presidency and making decisions.

Do you agree with Newt Gingrich? pic.twitter.com/AnPB8TJlMt
That’s obvious. Only president in history to continue to reside in D.C. after leaving office. Soros, Zuckerberg, Clinton, Jarrett and Susan Rice clearly calling the shots. Biden can’t even read off of a teleprompter key alone have lucid thoughts on his own.

2. Stacey Abrams - this would have been the choice most likely IF she had been able to pull out winning the Governor of Georgia. Since she couldn't, I think that disqualifies her.
3. Michelle Obama - this is who I believe the Democrats would most love to see. She is the perfect candidate. She would be the first female POTUS, the first Black female POTUS, and the first spouse of a POTUS to become POTUS. The Obamas could rub that in the Clintons face. Michelle is young and vibrant and is basically an automatic win, in my opinion. All the Democrats love her, Indys love her and the moderate 'Nikki Haley' Republicans love her. The only reason she would not run is she loves vacationing with the rich and famous and working again would put a real crimp in her lifestyle.

Happy birthday to my better half — who happens to be one of the funniest, smartest, most beautiful people I know. @MichelleObama, you make every day better. I can't wait to see what this new decade brings you. pic.twitter.com/OwZlD3z9pz
The Bidens have made it a habit of going to Rehoboth from Thursday - Monday basically every week. Michelle and Barack could still hang out in Martha's Vineyard regularly. I have to believe the full court press is on to persuade Michelle. Keep your eye on the Obama family showing signs of going more public more often. Biden has to go and the DNC will convene in Chicago. Yes, Chicago, the place the Obamas shot to popularity. It's just all a little too perfect.
