I’ll forever be grateful to Biden for beating Trump in 2020. In doing so, he did a TREMENDOUS service to the United States and preserved democracy for another four years.
But right now, nothing, NOTHING, is more important than beating Trump in 2024. And you and I both know Biden can’t do it this year. Going against a 34-time convicted felon, Biden was neck and neck before the debate. The poll numbers will surely tank immediately after. Failure is simply not an option.
I expect Biden to voluntarily step down as the presumptive nominee. That will open up the field. Harris is absolutely wonderful, but the Putin-driven meme machine already has her loaded with negatives. Better to run two relative “dark horses.” So why not Whitmer and Newsom?
I put Whitmer at the top of the ticket because Newsom probably has more negatives, but more importantly, I think America is ready for a female president especially in this era of Dobbs. Both candidates will chew Trump up and spit him out on a debate stage and the public arena. So much so, I wouldn’t be surprised if the RNC ultimately decides to nominate someone else, maybe even someone lacking 34 felony convictions.
We desperately need to send Trump to the scrapheap of history where he belongs. NOTHING is more important, no matter WHAT it takes to do it.
