Stacey Abrams says she’ll be president by 2040
Five Thirty Eight ^ | January 31, 2020 | Clare Malone

Back in November, right before Thanksgiving, I traveled to Georgia to talk with Stacey Abrams as part of FiveThirtyEight’s “When Women Run” project. The 46-year-old former minority leader of the Georgia House made waves in 2018 during her bid to become the nation’s first black woman governor. Abrams lost the election by 1.4 percentage points, but rather famously refused to concede defeat (while acknowledging she would not be recognized as the official winner), saying that her opponent, Brian Kemp, the white Republican secretary of state, had waged a concerted voter suppression campaign aimed predominantly against black voters. Since 2018, Abrams has focused her efforts on Fair Fight, a group she formed to promote fair elections, but she’s often brought up in the news as a potential presidential running mate. We sat down at a restaurant near her office to talk about that speculation — and her own presidential ambitions, which she admitted to openly — and what it’s been like for her to be a single black woman in politics.

To talk or to eat and eat and eat.

If the world is in that sad of a state by 2039, there won’t be a 2040.

This woman could make a DMV clerk look like Oppenheimer.

Demographics are changing.

It is a possibility.

Fruit of the Loom will be building spacecraft by 2040?

Exactly.

Demographics are changing.

Some parts of NYC was 90 percent white in 1990, now it is 20%-30%.

I can only conclude that Stacey Abrams is a CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER!

By 2040 there won’t be a flatscreen wide enough to hold Stacey Abrams’ face.

Highly unlikely. The Left has been totally exposed. The vast majority of Citizens want no part of socialism.

The new Federal Court shift to the Right (thanks to DJT, POTUS) will see that it doesn’t happen.

She’s far more likely to be 400 pounds by 2040 than President.

I’m going with that prediction.

2040? That fat pig will have choked on a ham sandwich by then.

It makes sense. That’s the year she will be term limited out of her current office - Fantasy Governor of Georgia.

Ghettopotamus will still not have paid off her debts by 2040. Deadbeat. Thief.

That's why she'll run. So she can sign an Executive Order forgiving all of her own debts.

One look at that woman tells you she probably won't be alive in 2040, having perished from any one of a host of lifestyle diseases.

I guess that’s one way she can get out of debt.

She’ll be Jabba the Hutt before she ever sniffs the White House.
