    None of the above, although Michelle would rock it - but she’s said she’s not interested, and having watched her husband do the job for 8 years, that’s probably a hard “nope.”

    Harris will lose the race. She’ll be a popular punching bag for conservatives, and she’s polling even lower than Biden.

    My favorites aren’t on there. Where’s Cory Booker? Where’s Amy Klobuchar? Where’s Andrew Yang? Where’s Buttigieg, or Warren?

    Yang, Buttigieg, and Warren would lose, for different reasons. Klobuchar or Booker would stand a chance, i think. But of all of these “pre-vetted” options, I guess Whitmer’s in a strong position.

    But not Harris. It’ll be her, of course, if he does step back, but they’ll crucify her. It’ll be Clinton all over again, only she’s starting even less popular than Hillary was. I don’t think conservatives have quite the visceral hatred for her that they seem to have foot Hillary, and she’s less prone to sticking her foot in her mouth, but nobody likes her, either. At least Hillary appealed to progressive women.

      As a progressive woman, this is news to me.

      I honestly don’t fully understand the Kamala hate. I know she was a prosecutor, but I don’t remember having a strong negative opinion of her in 2020.

      Where’s Andrew Yang?

      #YangGang is a glimpse into the reality of the Democratic Party’s Asian American problem. (this isn’t the appropriate venue to actually discuss those issues; a quick Google search will quite contemporary results showing the trend).

      Yang has moved on and created the “Forward Party” which is working to gain ballot access at the local level in a handful of States.
