It’s that time again! The 2024 elections are just one year away so it is time to make the predictions for the Democrat’s Presidential candidate. So just as before, I’ve placed my first and second choices in an envelope, sealed in a mayonnaise jar under Funk & Wagnall’s back porch to be opened following the Democratic National Convention in August 2024.
Despite the current storyline, it will be a drama filled path to the name at the top of the ballot. My analysis of the potentials is below.
Before we discuss who it will be, let’s discuss who it will NOT be. It will not be the current President, Joe Biden. Sadly, our President’s physical and mental health are deteriorating by the day. Despite the propping up and excuses for his blunders, it’s questionable if he’ll even make it to the end of his current term to say nothing of a second term. Combine this with this involvement in his family’s under-the-table overseas business ventures and he’s just not going to be on the ballot.
I stand by my previous opinion that he was never intended to be the Democrat’s nominee, only a lightning rod to attract scrutiny away from the real candidate. But when the real candidate, Kamala Harris, crashed and burned before even the first primary, the party had nobody else in a position to win. His choice of Harris as a running mate was so he could step aside and allow her to become President after two years, giving her the last two years of his term and two terms of her own.
Coincidently, it will also NOT be Vice President Harris. As if her being forced to drop out before the first primary in the last election wasn’t foretelling enough, her performance as Vice President has been worse. From her patented word salad answers to her maniacal nervous cackle when she doesn’t have an answer, to the fact she hasn’t accomplished anything she has been tasked with, she is the most unpopular vice president in recent history, potentially all of history. Her biggest success right now is being the President’s impeachment insurance policy. Even though she looks good on paper, the first woman/person of color Vice President, NOBODY wants her as president, even the Democrats.
At some point between now and the Democratic National Convention, although I’m betting it will be at the convention itself, the President will step aside and open the door to a new candidate. He will likely cite heath or the desire to spend his retirement time with family. I’m saying it will be after the caucuses and primaries which normally select the candidate. After all the normal vetting who will be the next nominee is FAR too critical of a decision to be left to the voting peasants. As history has showed us, the Democrat party can pick whomever they choose, regardless of ‘voter’ preference.
Actual Candidates
As of now, there are two declared Democrats running.
Marianne Williamson, an author, and speaker with no political experience except for unsuccessful runs for the House of Representatives in 2014, President in 2020 and again now for President in 2024.
Dean Phillips, a second term Representative from Minnesota with very little name recognition outside his own state & district.
Neither have the connections, experience, or name recognition to put them ahead of anyone. Presumably they are running to justify printing primary ballots and show how strong the President’s numbers are.
Potential Candidates
Hillary Clinton, yes, the blast from the past, the original election denier will be back! It’s no mistake she is on the speaker circuit again and the Clinton Global Initiative is back and accepting big dollar donations around the world. These donations aren’t for whatever supposed charity work they are peddling now, it’s for access. And access to an ex-President and ex-Presidential candidate doesn’t do diddly. Hillary was denied that big chair and still wants it, bad. She wants to go down in history as the first female President of the United States. All the more reason the current Vice President isn’t going to get the party nod.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has said he will not run against the current president, will now be free to publicly announce his candidacy. It’s not like anyone doesn’t know he’s already running. His proposal for the so-called “right to safety” 28th Amendment has given him an excuse to campaign around the country. And travel he has, in the US and internationally to raise his visibility, prop up his international credentials and distance himself for the failure that is California and his own hypocrisy. SOMEHOW, he convinced actual presidential candidate Republican Ron DeSantis to debate him in a contest which; win, lose or draw, he will come out ahead. Newsom has the money, all the right family, business and political connections and can string together a sentence without sounding foolish, even though he’s usually lying through his teeth.
Michelle Obama, someone with zero political experience of her own, she would be running on hubby’s popularity and being a woman/person of color. If successful, she would usher in the fourth Barack Obama presidential term. She would also achieve the first ever FLOTUS to POTUS conversion, something Hillary wanted. Hey, would you want to be the one that tells Hillary that Michelle Obama is the first FLOTUS to POTUS? Ooooo.. Not me.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is also rumored to also be in the mix. Whitmer highly controversial COVID-19 policies put COVID patients back into nursing homes and has weaponized the state’s DOJ to persecute Republican lawyers and electors while ignoring the rampant voter fraud occurring in her state.
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is also potentially in the mix despite his past racist comments, tax fraud controversies and his elimination of cash bail in Illinois. But then, this is what billionaires do.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. & Tulsi Gabbard would have been on this list, but both have left the Democrat party. Kennedy is now running as an Independent. Gabbard who has teased she is going to run hasn’t said how. Knowing the infinitesimal chances of success as an independent, she’ll likely run back to the Democrat party as the ‘moderate’ option, even after saying the party was “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness.”
So why do I waste my time speculating on such things? Because if you don’t pay attention to what is going on with the opposition party, all you’ll get is the propaganda being spewed out by the media. These candidates are diametrically opposed to the rights and liberties I hold dear, and we need to keep a close eye on what they are doing.
Place your bets and grab the popcorn. It’s going to be quite the show! The mayonnaise jar will be cracked open on August 26, 2024.
