I can foresee the infighting that would occur, but I have absolutely no idea who would win.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875378656423252469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-15584191657869073322022-08-10T20:12:26.474-05:002022-08-10T20:12:26.474-05:00Katie Porter, congresswoman from California.

Of course, neither was Secretary Pete, and look what he's done. Katie/Pete or Pete/Katie, 2024.

I'm not laughing anymore.<br /><br />If my wife and I are still breathing, we'll both be 77 before November 5 of 2024. If the Orange Boomerang comes back to clock America in the cabeza, I'm having more and more doubts about seeing the summer of 2027--and turning 80. Trump's return means doom for America, and especially for those of my ilk...left-leaning early Boomers. All the particulars...the whys and the wheres and the whats and the hows...are best left to the gentle reader's imagination. Not going there again. <br /><br />Still, I'm glad I'm not a kid of 25 or 30. They're facing the possibility of a life sentence in hell, without parole. Miles and miles of bad road to trudge along. And there are buried landmines all along it, and vultures overhead, and snipers.<br /><br />Regarding any possible replacement candidates for Biden in '24...who? Is there a viable entity at the moment? Nope. Not the Veep, that's for damn sure. Forget her. Better hope (or pray) that if Joe goes away, he's only bowing out, and is not being carried out. <br /><br />If the Orange Guy isn't either incarcerated or otherwise prohibited from running and/or holding office, then maybe the only thing that can save us is his sudden incapacitation...or worse. It's bad karma to hope for someone's illness or death, especially at my age, but I'll do it anyway. Desperate times, desperate measures.Grizz 65https://www.blogger.com/profile/02892702223228764894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-34940129039385921852022-08-10T13:05:07.365-05:002022-08-10T13:05:07.365-05:00Biden's heart is generally in the right place....Biden's heart is generally in the right place. However, now, that's not remotely enough. He should step aside and allow a more energetic, dynamic individual to emerge as the D candidate in 24. We need a more direct, vigorous and relatable voice at the top to call out the urgent stakes at issue. Cory? Pete?

DeSantis seems to be auditioning for the role, but I don't see him stirring the soul of the masses. After the Republicans undermine President Kamala Harris's administration, another America-Firster will probably arise to save the nation in '28. That's my bad news for worse or worser.<br /><br />johntatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10088632798195131329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3972382144120426476.post-23296146987996210432022-08-10T06:56:23.928-05:002022-08-10T06:56:23.928-05:00Unbelievable and frightening.
