Today’s Campaign Update, Part II (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Democrat Stacey Abrams, who still self-identifies herself as Georgia’s governor despite her 55,000-vote loss last November to Republican Brian Kemp, now self-identifies as a viable presidential candidate, despite not even being in the race.
Watch this clip of her interview on MSNBC from earlier today:

As a service to those of you who still like to read stuff, I spent 20 minutes of my own life compiling a verbatim transcript of this 52-second clip. I’ve also included another minute or so of dialogue from a longer version of the interview with MSNBC host Hallie Jackson, in order to give you a more, ummm, fullsome flavor of the self-absorbed also-ran’s thinking.
You gluttons for punishment can review the longer clip here. Warning: Most of the interview is all kinds of nonsense about Abrams’ current project to ensure that non-citizens of our nation are counted in next year’s census. If you’re interested in that, fine. If you aren’t, fast-forward to the 4:50 mark to focus on Ms. Abrams’ fantasy-based presidential aspirations.
Here’s the transcript:
=======================================
Hallie Jackson here. I want to ask you about another big issue. Are you prepared to shut the door on a presidential run right now?
Abrams: No, I’m not. Again, as I’ve said before, I’m watching to see what happens, I think we’ve got a robust crop of candidates and I think they’re having important conversations, but my mission is to make certain that we are keeping that attention focused all the way through the campaign. And so I’m gonna keep watching and decide if I need to jump in.
Jackson: You’ve said before that you’ll be willing to wait until September. Is that still the operative time line in your view? That’s late – you’ll miss out on talking to some people, some debates…
Abrams: Well I think the debates are an important part of the process, but the debates are new [huh?]. And while I think it’s a critical piece that can happen, I think that the, I can enter the conversation as late as the Fall and still have a real chance to…win.
Jackson: So this talk that continues – and I know you’ve spoken about it before – about being a potential vice presidential candidate, Beto O’Rourke for example is the most recent one who has floated your name, has anyone reached out to you about that?
Abrams: No one has reached out to me. And as I have said before, right now we should be focused on the presidential nominees and if I should decide to join the fray, then I look forward to being a robust competitor. After the determination has been made about who the Democratic nominee is, if I’m not that person for one reason or the other, I’m open to the conversation, but I think we need to have our conversations in sequential order, not at the same time.
=======================================
Ok, to sum up:
- Abrams is not a candidate and is not planning to become one before at least September, by which time several debates will have already been held;
- But she’s keeping an eye on those nasty real, actual candidates to make sure they are focused on her own priorities, which she doesn’t really identify here, but which most likely have to do with the “voter suppression” fantasy that she uses as her excuse for last year’s loss;
- Despite the well-known fact that Joe Biden already tried to make a deal with her to be his running mate several weeks back, she is claiming that “no one has reached out to me” about that possibility yet;
- But she’ll be interested in having that conversation once the Democrat nominee has been determined, assuming it isn’t her, and she’s not a candidate, at least not yet and maybe never but who knows? Or something.
Honestly, is there a more self-absorbed and self-deluded self-identifying leftist in the entire country? My goodness.
That is all.

The Democrat Presidential candidate clown car is about to be traded in on a clown bus.
That woman is mental.......................seriously..............
She is so mentally ill she doesn’t even have to run to claim she won.
She reminds me of the laughing lady in that new Apple Commercial don’t know why.
She’s guaranteed to get at least 1000 votes.
Cotton.The crop that keeps on giving.
The fabric of our lives.
Run Stacy Run! So much fun watching the gaggle of lunatics that think they can be President fight it out. It will be nasty.
Stacy is about to cannonball into the 2020 ‘Rat POTUS pool?
It’ll be a big, but short term, splash.
She will self-identify as POTUS next.
She’d do better to identify as a humpback whale.
Jeez she is a butt ugly angry mentally ill demonrat.....what is wrong with these people......
_"Jeez she is a butt ugly angry mentally ill demonrat.....what is wrong with these people......
Remember, the governorship of Georgia was stolen from her.
The delusional dirigible says “she won the governorship”....she just didnt get the job.
Never have we sunk so low as a nation, than when she was a candidate.
She annihilates the concept of a free nation.
Civil Rights? This one should have NO rights whatsoever.
.She is like a hemorrhoid. Just shows up for no reason and is inflamed and irritating as hell./p>
Yet another lunatic surfaces from the muck. She is very ripe for ridicule .
