Michelle Obama floated as savior of Democrats from radical left general election disaster
Legal Insurrection via Instapundit
TODAY. Both the New York Times and The New Yorker have articles about how centrist and establishment Democrats are apoplectic over what is happening in the Democratic Primaries.

Biden is fading, mentally and politically. He’s hanging on for dear life to a presumption coming into the primaries that he had what it takes, but he doesn’t. Bernie and Warren are viewed as gateway drugs to general election disaster. (For a brutal take down of Warren’s electoral chances from a progressive view, read Why Criticize Warren? in Current Affairs.)

The others in the race all have problems, from stone cold boring to non-starters. Kamala Harris is the biggest disappointment, there’s no there there.

And there’s one person they both note who could walk away with the nomination, but doesn’t appear to want it.

#1 Great idea - run yet another bitter, divisive former First Lady & left-wing broad, Dems - what could go wrong?

#2 Trying the same thing over and over and expecting a different result each time. That's the definition of something, I vaguely remember...

#3 Think of the advantages Raj - could the Don overmaster the temptation to twit every time she opens her mouth?

#4 The lady loathes politicians and the common herd of voters. She deeply resented having to spend time with either when she was first lady. Hillary Clinton at least enjoyed being among politicians, poor dear.

#5 just as she is a beard for her 'husband,' as president (perish the thought) she would just be a beard for the deep state parasites who really want their power back

#6 Tough to come up with decent, viable candidates when you have a party full of fruits and nuts.

#8 The Dems don't have anyone to run, she might be a surprise candidate. Soetero had some unusual proclivities. Maybe Joan Rivers was right, I dunno.

#9 The problem for the Dems is that the public has figured out that ISSUES matter. They knew that Trump was a boor but that didn't matter that much. What mattered was what he said he'd do, and has done.

The media and DNC, but I repeat my self, still think that it's all a matter of the pretty face ala JFK (the first one) that matters and that's just not that true anymore.

So what issues are the Dems running on that the people like????????????

#10 Living in the White House DOES NOT qualify you to be President.
Would you like to undergo brain surgery by someone who had been married to a brain surgeon for 8 years?

#11 So what issues are the Dems running on that the people like?

Half the people and slightly less than half of the voters like some/all of:
1. OrangeMan Bad
2. OrangeMan Cad
3. GOP Bad

#12 Wookie is better looking than Baraq but can she read from a teleprompter?

#13 She has never actively campaigned. Hillary had some experience with that at least.
