Where's Barry otherwise going to find a more compliant TelePrompTer reader than Dementia Zhio? HeelsUp is already firing ridiculous rounds of nonsense like a loose cannon on deck and no one of real talent wants to work for or with her. (KJP could stay on, admittedly, and fit right in.)
Valjar? (No, a detested Iranian.) Loretta Lynch? (No, seen as corrupt.) Newsome? Hell no. Susan Rice? (No, Barry can't miss her.)
Marc Elias? Perhaps, but he wouldn't win.
None of them would win, of course, without horrendous cheating, but that's been the plan for quite a while now. (See Fetterwoman.)
The Dem Party is full of them, Pete Buttigeig is an order taker. Do you see him leading the way or otherwise shaking up the Dept. of Transportation with new initiatives? nope, status quo.
