The U.S. presidential election is still seven months away but an MSNBC host is already suggesting that Democrat Joe Biden set up a “shadow government” against the Trump administration amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Stephanie Ruhle pitched the idea Wednesday during an interview with Jim Messina, who served as deputy chief of staff of operations under former President Barack Obama.

A shadow govt has been formed with Hillary and Obama since the Summer of 2016.

Not necessary to form two.

What will they call the shadow government?

The obvious choice would be “Deep State”, but that one is already taken.

There is a shadow government already with Obama, Clintons, Brennan, and the rest of the Deep State and media.

Those seditious bas***ds are the ones we will be putting in prison. Or better.

That would be the women's vote and the black vote.

They're good at getting out the vote and cheating.

We need to get to the polls...every registered Republican and hopefully many others.

And we need the house, too!!

First on the list is Dr Ezekiel Emmanuel. Tin Foil Hat members could link that to the overweighted deaths of those over 72.

Politically, forming a “shadow cabinet” would be a fairly smart move, if there were any hope of actually making a transition. But for Joe Biden, it would be bordering on the futile and highly unlikely probability of actually winning the electoral college vote.

Oh, Joe could walk away with the popular vote. But there is this little problem of a “path to 270 votes in the Electoral College”.

Better and more informed minds than my own could walk through the numbers, but Donald J. Trump managed to pull the rabbit out of the hat once before, and there is still enough latent good will for his continued presence in office to overcome what will be huge efforts at carrying out fraud in the next election cycle.

“Shadow Government”=Jefferson Davis type of government. The Democrats tried that before in 1861
