Meghan Markle reportedly networking with Democrats, eyes bid for US president. Really!
I think it’s marvelous that she is gearing up to shovel masses of Democratic/Progressive donors’ money into the economy with the guarantee that it will have no impact whatsoever.
[PAGESIX] Princess Meghan Markle
...unlikable American former starlet married to the formerly likable Prince Harry. Chock full of lefty political opinions, Markle's most important characteristic is that she is Black, even though she doesn't look it. Her mother, y'see, is half black and her father is white, which would make her a quarter Black. Her half brother described her (to her husband, before their marriage) as a jaded, shallow, conceited woman that will make a joke of you and the royal family heritage. Once married, she was too good for the Royals and she and Harry decamped to Beverly Hills, kind of like the Clampetts did, thus making a joke of Harry and the royal family heritage...
 is reportedly already networking with Tammany hangers-on to help her ambitions to become the first female US president.The Duchess of Sussex previously told friends about her political ambitions — and now hopes her blockbuster Oprah Winfrey interview will strengthen support in the US, sources told the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

She has been openly networking among Tammany hangers-on to help build fundraising teams and a campaign for the White House, according to a senior UK politician who served under former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and has close ties to Washington.

"The Blairite, internationalist and Democratic party networks are buzzing with talk about Meghan’s political ambitions and potential backers," the anonymous source told the UK paper.

Markle, 39, is thought to be looking at the 2024 campaign if President Joe Bidn
...... 46th president of the U.S. We get to suffer the consequences......
, who will be 82, decides against running for a second term, the source said. If successful, it would make her the first female US president.

#1 she has slightly more charm than Kamala, is a better gold digger and is much prettier, even better looking than Tulsi

however, she probably has the same kind of mushed up policy thoughts as Beto and might take the same kind of arc from 'who is Beto' to 'wow, we really like Beto' to 'I don't know about Beto' to finally, 'Beto's not the one'

#4 Tired of being in the media and public scrutiny so she moves to LA, gets a Netflix deal, goes on Oprah, and runs for POTUS. Yeah...it's all making sense now

#9 My thinking is, in 5 years she'll be smashed on box wine and slurring "...coulda been somebody. I coulda been a contendah!"

#13 Harry would be wise to divorce her and return to England. But somehow I think wisdom is not his thing.

Maybe Meghan could start with something a bit more modest. Like, if Diane Feinstein is compelled to resign, the Duchess could persuade Newsom to appoint her to the Senate. And, of course you know, there are all kinds of ways to persuade a guy like Newsom...that is, if he can beat the recall.

#26 I think the Henry VIII line of acknowledged offspring has died out.

There is of course the possibility of unacknowledged offspring but they did not inherit a title.
