Political analyst reveals why he thinks there may be a secret plot underway to replace Biden as Democrats' presidential candidate (John Kasich)
UK Daily Mail ^ | May 19 2024 | JAMES GORDON

The former Republican governor of Ohio has said he believes there could be a secret plot underway that would see the Democrats replace Biden as the party's presidential candidate before November's election.

John Kasich, whose own half-hearted bid for the presidency in 2016 ended in failure, said he believes poor polling data coupled with Biden's poor performance at public speaking events has given Democrats a reason to look for alternative candidate.

Kasich, 72, made the assertions on Democrat-leaning MSNBC on Friday night.

It ain’t a secret if everybody already knows.
It’s been the plan all along.

Wait til the last minute. That way they get to hide from scrutiny, and enjoy a bump in excitement.

I'm thinking Hillary will be Biden's replacement.
She's dishonest, ruthless, power-hungry, and has a lot of skeletons in her closet


Yeah, but she's OLD, only one year younger than Trump. Another geriatric needing to be potato-sacked into her van is not a suitable replacement.

There is zero chance that Obama would run. Or be picked. About the same amount of chance of Chris Christie being picked. It’s not gonna happen,

Wes Moore of MD is next up at bat. They are flooding MD with Fed $ to make him look presentable. Soon the media will be touting Baltimore as a top city.

One word: Superdelegates.

Absolutely on the mark.

Also timing is critical. Their chosen one must be highly visible yet not subject to the rigors and scrutiny of campaigning.

My bet is michelle obummer.

You don’t know what you’re talking about. Michelle Obama has repeatedly made it clear she wants nothing to do with the job in Washington. She hates it.

What about Mitt for a nominee? He is one of the most Anti-Republican Pols out there.

Kasich doesn’t say who he thinks the Dims will pick instead. Their bench is pretty much empty of viable candidates.

I think the Dims expect to lose after Biden’s disasterous term, no matter who they run. Perhaps to create excitement and pander to both Obamas’ egos, the insiders will engineer a Boom for Michelle Obama, but she will ultimately decline to run (unless the media can gin up fake polls of a slam dunk victory). That will completely suck the life out of whoever ends up as their sacrificial lamb.

Just the same evidence you have. The DNC is nothing if not deeply organized, far more than the RNC. Politics is a profession and they prefer to promote from within. DJT was an outsider and that went against their corporate policy. Just look how hard they’re working to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

Have you noticed all the stories starting to circulate about Covid vaccine deaths. Just saw one yesterday that said the CDC had a report of almost 500,000 children, teens and young adults who died from complication from taking the vaccine. There will be more stories to come. And who pushed ‘Operation Warp Speed’? Don’t think for a minute that won’t become a story in this election.

Way too late. No superdelegates won’t work.

First, the power of incumbency is something NO OTHER candidate would have-—which is precisely why they all run 2-5 points BEHIND Rutabaga (including Big Mike).

Second, Rutabaga HAS the superdelegates. It’s how he won the nomination in 2020 over Dinobernie.

Third, we’re almost at June. Hundreds of millions of dollars have already been spent on Rutabaga with hundreds of millions more dedicated and targeted to HIM and HIM ALONE. You don’tjust switch out PAC support. All that money would essentially be burned up.

Fourth, re-establishing 50 state campaign structures, personnel, etc takes a year, not five months.

Fifth, if they managed by any unicorn-hope to replace Rutabaga, the ONLY person they could replace him with is Kampuchea Harris. Virtually everyone agrees, if they leapfrog her for a Newsome or Big Mike (never happen in a million years) even though she is hated, the black power structure would explode at taking the first black veep/female president out of the job for a white guy or a political unknown. And Big Mike repeatedly has said he doesn’t want the job.

Sixth, did I mention Rutabaga polls ahead of everyone else? But you have to consider this: “alternatives” ALWAYS poll better and look better until they become real candidates. Then all of a sudden their records, their personalities, and their private lives are opened up on a whole new level. Then watch those poll numbers drop by 5 or 6 more points.

Seventh, massive electorate confusion. LBJ pulled this off by endorsing his veep, a well known national DemoKKKrat. Newsome and Big Mike are not national pols and Newsome isn’t that well known. Big Mike is NOT viewed as a pol. The sales pitch/programming would have to be beyond anything even the Deep State can muster to make it so.

As it stands, Rutabaga will lose about 312 electoral votes & pop vote, but might do enough to hold the senate. A sub would result in a 340-360 EV Trump win and complete down ticket collapse.

I don’t think Mrs. Obama wants to run, or has any interest in running as VP or at the top of the ticket.

But if she did, the one thing that would guarantee her victory would be her opponents pushing the tranny crap.
