Joe Biden’s first year as president is almost over, and people are already trying to find a replacement for him.
To dampen speculation, Biden said earlier this week that he was primed for another run in 2024 and would “relish” the challenge of going against Donald Trump in a rematch of 2020. But that’s boilerplate. It’s what the president is supposed to say to head off a brutal internecine fight between the radicals and the nearly radical.
How much longer he can hang on to the illusion that he will run in 2024 is hard to say. For the moment, the party isn’t clamoring for someone else, but who’s to say what it will be like in six months? A year?
Most of the maneuvering has been behind the scenes between Vice President Kamala Harris and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. But besides being chosen for a lofty position in the Biden administration, what attributes do either of these Democrats have to be president?
Harris’ shortcomings are many and obvious, despite herculean efforts by the national media to try and create a take-charge persona for the vice president. She is a fish out of water when on her own, as she was in France recently. And her knowledge of issues is an inch deep and a yard wide.
Voters would have to make a leap of faith to see her as president.
Buttigieg is another matter. Unlike Harris, he’s not an ideological potato head. Instead, there is substance to him. Also unlike Harris, he is thoughtful.
But experience has to count for something. And serving as mayor of a mid-sized midwestern city doesn’t count for much.
How about the fake Native American, Elizabeth Warren?

Anyone from The View.
Manchin should run as a moderate. That would be interesting in rat circles.
And that’s the best they’ve got.
Yeah, Manchin or Sinema would be fun to watch. Gabbard is also one to watch.
Should be a cakewalk for any ‘Republicans’ that run.
Unless, of course, Trump...
Still enjoying him stomping on EIGHTEEN of ‘our’ Best & Brightest in the Primary. That was worth the price of admission right there! :)
“Buttigieg is another matter. Unlike Harris, he’s not an ideological potato head. Instead, there is substance to him. Also unlike Harris, he is thoughtful.”
ROTFLMAO!
With a list like that one would believe the Democrats have no chance, but we can never forget their BIG BAG of filthy, dirty tricks. Democrats stick pretty much together in their treachery. It’s that linking of arms, and the BIG BAG we have to overcome.
They have no bench. The gop isn’t much better, but at least a few of them can successfully fog a mirror.
You guys posting about "Biden" all the time crack me up.
Any one of them could win the cheat vote.
By that standard, Abrams could be the President and the Pope at the same time.
AOC will actually be (barely) old enough to run in 2024. A Newsom/Abrams ticket would be a possibility, but I think Biden or Harris will probably be the nominee. It would be funny if they had to run against each other in the primaries.
OMG! Please run her!
I suspect the media are going to have to manufacture a candidate out of whole cloth, imbuing him or her with miraculous powers and keeping him or her under the strictest public exposure limits to maintain the illusion. That trick could work twice, I suppose, but probably not twice in a row.
As Tony Soprano said about Vito Spatafore: "He's a come from behind kind of guy."
If that’s their best that’s pretty pathetic, even for the RATs!
