Hillary Clinton is the “best bet for Democrats in 2024” according to Democrat political consultant Douglas Schoen. Betting on a two-time presidential loser, who was deemed unsuited and unlikeable by voters for her party’s nomination against Barack Obama, then in the general election against Donald Trump, is a sign of the Democrats’ weak bench. Hillary has also said a presidential campaign in 2024 is “out of the question” although she has not been known for her veracity.

Who are the dark horses? One obvious name is Michelle Obama. Filmmaker Joel Gilbert, in his new film and book, “Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power”, reviews her narrative and makes a compelling case for her candidacy in 2024, not as an endorsement, but as a potential option for Democrats given their lack of electoral talent.

Given the sad state of the country, will Americans elect someone to run the country who never held political office and who has no relevant executive experience? After the Clintons and Bushes, America may not want another family dynasty.

Will Bernie make another go at it? Doubtful as he will be 82 years old on Election Day.

Elizabeth Warren will be 75 and is as unlikeable as Hillary Clinton.

Mayor Pete was a better mayor than Transportation Secretary, and that isn’t saying much.

Any other Democrat retreads want to make a run, such as Michael Bloomberg or Howard Schultz? Perhaps Marianne Williamson and her mood rocks and scented candles?

California Governor Gavin Newsom, having avoided being recalled, is making moves toward the White House. Aside from his policies making a mess of California, including crime, homelessness, and taxes, he too has a “practice what you preach” problem. He dined lavishly and maskless at the French Laundry while telling his residents to do the opposite, then took his family on vacation to Montana, a state he forbids travel to on state business due to Montana being insufficiently woke on LGBTQ issues.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is also making moves, but the state of Illinois, like California, is nothing to brag about. Also, in the age of television and social media, Pritzker’s body habitus won’t work in his favor. Right or wrong (please don’t accuse me of fat shaming), has any president in recent memory not been tall and relatively slim?

Personally, I think the best of the worst would be none other than JOE MANCHIN himself.

If the Democrats are smart, The Joe Manchin/Tulsi Gabbard tandem would be the most formidable IMHO.

Pompeo is a good bet if he quotes the Bible less and gets better fitting shirts.

No real name recognition.

Dead in the water before he ever starts.

Harris will be the incumbent and the nominee.

That is the plan.

The key for a Democratic nominee is to come from a midwest or southern state. Carter and Clinton came from Georgia and Arkansas. Obama came from Illinois. Biden for his first 10 years of life lived in Scranton Pennsylvania. The problem for Newsom and Harris is they came from California, not a midwest or southern state. I think Democrats are stuck with Pritzker or Buttigieg.

Horse race eh. Going into the first turn, it’s Newsome by a half length, Clinton on the outside, the rest are in the pack. On the GOP track, it’s DeSantis by a nose over Trump, with nobody else currently in the front of the pack.
