It's well within the realm of possibility that the Rat Central may reluctantly conclude that Hildebeast will be indicted and tried for breaches of national security.
What should Rat Central do? Bernie is far to the left of Daniel Ortega and can't be elected in the general. Jim Webb would be a strong candidate and maybe a fine president, but he's way too far to the right to garner the sort of zealous support provided by the Rat Party's Sandinista wing to win the general. Martin O'Malley? He's not well known nationally and totally lacks charisma. Nobody cares. People care even less about Lincoln Chaffee. Lincoln who? Plus he has all the force of personality as Elmer Fudd.
That leaves Uncle Joe. He's nationally known, a Rat Pack insider who has amassed enormous influence in the Rat Party, and he even is a powerful personality, albeit one prone to cringeworthy gaffes.
But, Team Rat has a problem: Uncle Joe hasn't entered the race yet, he hasn't secured funding, state registrations etc. He's way late.
Team Rat has a problem.
"Dang," says Rat Central. "Too bad Obama's already done his second term and so we can't run a sitting president, because sitting presidents have all of these built-in advantages. They control the news cycle, they can actually start paying off constituencies, etc. We could run Harvey the Rabbit as a sitting president and still have a pretty good shot in the general."
Suddenly it dawns on them: "Let's make Uncle Joe Biden a sitting president. Obama simply resigns, Uncle Joe becomes president, and then Uncle Joe appoints Bernie Sanders as VP. That way, we have a widely known entity running as a sitting president with all that offers us, and we have the support of the fired up Commie wing of the Rat Party. It's gotta work."
And they'd be right.
This might just happen.
Now what could possibly induce Obama to resign?
Only in an alternate universe where Obama cares more about other Democrats than he does about himself.
There is one problem with that. Obama is such a narcissist He would NEVER do it!
Do you really see that haughty, arrogant Obama resigning even one day early and forfeiting his daily TV spots and Mooshie’s perks?
Obama will not resign.
