What’s a Democrat to do?
President Biden’s poll numbers seem set in quicksand. Now the special counsel’s justification for not recommending charges against Biden for having “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” is damning: Biden’s memory has such “significant limitations” that the special counsel believed he could not convince a jury that Biden has a “mental state of willfulness” that a serious felony (or, presumably, serving as president) requires. Cue the campaign commercials.
Salvation lies in the DNC rules. Remember the New Jersey “Switcheroo” way back in 2002, when Democrats turned a sure loss of a Senate seat into a win by swapping out their losing candidate at the last minute, overriding a state law that said it was too late in the cycle for such a switch?
Bet on Democrats to pull the same “switcheroo,” but at an even higher level – and even later than you expect – possibly at but more likely about two weeks after their convention, giving us a “September Surprise.” Joe Biden is a placeholder quelling current competition for a much better bet – Michelle Obama – just in time to turn a sure loss in 2024 into a surprise potential victory.

“Pure lunacy!” said Karl Rove speaking to host Stuart Varney on Fox about the possibility of a Michelle Obama candidacy. “People would say, ‘You know what, that’s Barack Obama going for a third term.’ They wouldn’t go for it.”

Also, the instances in this article in which a candidate was disqualified due to a plane crash, is "two". How convenient we have a problem with plane maintenance currently in the news cycle.
Karl Rove, the canned ham with a whiteboard. He should go into business with Dick Morris.
One September surprise will be guilty verdict in DC against DJT.And then every Rat Party news outlet in the country will proclaim “Trump Could Get Forty Years”.
It will be a summer surprise so the convention can ratify it.
Won’t be Michelle but another white man. They will have to give Kamela a scotus seat.
June.
If I were a cold-blooded Democratic strategist I would have the CIA “take care” of Biden—helicopter crash would be good, could be blamed on Iranian terrorists—a month or two before the convention.
They could let the delegates and candidates duke it out for the nomination on the convention floor—the winner would probably be the strongest candidate and have bragging rights going into the election.
Waiting until the last minute has too many risks—not a certain failure but just riskier.
"In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies."
They can pick anyone that damn well want after the convention is over.
Watch all of the polling spring up around convention time to get an idea of who the "dark horse" will be,
The advantage of doing it before the convention is that Democratic voters will feel like they had a convention that mattered—stirs up their juices—gets them motivated.
One of the big issues for Democratic voters these days is they are starting to get a clue that a very tiny elite runs their party.
An open convention would quell that perception—even if the reality might be different.
Now it’s not a surprise.
Generalissimo biden’s handlers have shown that the rats don’t care what the peons think or what the courts have decided.
Biden has a “mental state of willfulness” that a serious felony requires
Mens Rea. I was on a jury once
A helicopter crash could be caught on live TV—showing it getting hit by a missile—great for a “national trauma”.
The Deep State loves those propaganda moments.
maybe trump needs to be walking on eggshells verbally right now in regards to biden. he must already be aware of the threat. mooch taking over for biden would transform both into figures deserving of all public sympathy... trump will be declared guilty of mean tweets and therefore unfit to serve (plus racist and sexist)...
I think this is basically the playbook, whether it’s Moochele or Newsome. Remember the convention is just a big D party circlejerk where the D Party makes the rules and can make up new ones a they go. That’s why they put superdelegates in place...
Be assured that every idea brainstormed up by FReepers has already been thought of, evaluated, wargamed, and prioritized by the very smart strategists in the D party. They run rings around the Republicans all the time, so don’t kid yourself into thinking they’re going to fumble THIS ball!
Quite possible, but I, still, opt for a fall, on the stairs at one of his Deleware mansions, witnessed only by “Doctor” Jill, that kills him, outright or leaves him in a coma, worse than the one he’s already in.
Not to worry. Whoopi Goldberg famously suggested Dr Jill should be surgeon general, so the best care would be ready to hand
If he gets into the race, people will find out he’s a man.
“They will have to give Kamela a scotus seat.”
I could see that. Easier for her when she can just ask questions, and never has to answer them. Clerks write her decisions.
I think she may have figured that she does not have what it takes for the Oval Office. Supreme court is arguably a promotion from VP.
Sotomayer has diabetes, and seemed demoralized in a recent interview. Dems have a Senate majority.
It could happen.
Newsome/Whitmer ? Whitmer/Newsome ?
Whoopi is a rocket surgeon, herself.

Try 4th term, Karl. And 5th, given that they’re going to cheat AGAIN to install Big Mike in 2028.
