    They need to figure out how to get Obama on the ballot. Maybe they can get the Senate and some justices. 50-39 is a massive number.

    Dems are bullying Biden just because he has a stutter.

    Dems should just trot our a normal Republican instead of a camouflage centrist Democrat-Republican.

    Bernie too young to run? Or not white enough? Or he'd somehow send less $$$ to Israel than Trump/Biden - lulz

    You mean like Mitt Romney or Liz Cheney? Maybe both of them on the same ticket?

    You have to question a place that lists Kamala 3 times in their chart.

    Michelle would be the clear choice to energize the party, but not going to happen. Whitmer might do well, just shows a large segment doesn't know who she is.

    This has been a Constitutional question but the 22nd Amendment says that someone can't be "elected" to the office of President more than twice. It's an open question whether someone who has been elected twice could still be president if they were VP and was elevated to President from either death, resignation, impeachment, or removal of the previous president.

    It seems like it's theoretically possible Biden could replace Harris with Obama to his VP continue to run for office on the promise that once he is sworn in for his second term he will resign and turn over the office to Obama.

    I think a lot of that has to do with name recognition as being former First Lady Michelle Obama has the name recognition especially the last name.

    My own favorite is Gretchen Whitmer as a Midwest governor of a swing state who has won twice I think she would cement not just MI but also WI, secure MN. Her biggest weakness though is with the minority electorate and might struggle with GA and AZ

    I will stay say all of this is speculation. Even if Biden steps down it's likely several Democrats will step up and there will be contested convention.

    I think Gretchen would be a good alternative and would love to see Wes Moore take an active role also. I think Joe could fix this with several town halls that are televised but at this point I think the toothpaste is out of the tube, you will have some people who simply wont vote for Joe because who knows what the next 4 years could be like. Right or wrong some people will vote for trump simply because they feel Joe is too old or they wont vote at all.

    Can we now put the Obama fantasies aside?

    I never underwood the Michelle Obama push. This is clearly drive from wishful fantasies, the same that said Biden is sharp and alert as ever. The lies and manipulation never stops.
