#1 Setting up an excuse to replace the old puppet with a new puppet. But who? Somebody must be doing interviews...

#2 The Dems should have replaced Biden in late 2022.

It is really, really late for this now.

#3 They want to maximize the impact of "that new candidate smell."

#4 It is really, really late for this now.

Given some states have 'drop dead' dates for having a name on the ballot. You know now. Don't come crying later and filing spacious court requests later.

#5 If any state refused to let a candidate swap go forward regardless of the date, the uproar from the left would make J6 look like preschool nap time.

#6 Setting up an excuse to replace the old puppet with a new puppet. But who?

Indeed. The Dems have a pretty shallow bench right now. VP Camel-Lah checks all the right boxes except Likability. Cali governor Gavin Newsome has good hair, but he seems occupied with ruining California. No other Dem governors or mayors come to mind. Not much national recognition anywhere. Hey, what about the Mitten Queen, MI gov Gretchen Whitmer? She is pale, but of the female persuasion. She may not want to burn her chance, though.

My theory: it is the Republicans turn to win this time. The traditional model of American politics is two parties, diametrically opposed, locked in eternal conflict. I see it more like professional wrestling where there are two sides, the Faces (the good guy Dems) and the Heels (the evil Republicans), each playing a role in a carefully managed story. The good guys can't win all the time or there is no suspense, so this time is the bad guys turn.

The problem for the Republicans is that means President Trump. But it will only be for one term. After he fixes the economy and various global messes, the Dems get back in and can continue grifting as usual.

tl;dr: It doesn't really matter who the Dems run. Say hello to President Trump!
