"...and calls Kamala Harris the natural successor to Biden."

Well, he's not wrong.  If anyone can emulate Biden's lack of conscious and coherent thought, she can.

This actually is pretty big, though.  There's been noises the last few days where people seem be be rallying around Harris as the Biden alternative.  I don't think it's because they truly believe she's the best candidate.  It's just that the political backlash that would come from replacing a "woman of color" would be disastrous.  So they may be forced to go with her.

That slimy, greasy liar ... I'm sure Newsom has a contingency plan for 2024 in his back pocket ... he and Hillary Clinton are waiting for deus ex machina to create an opening to become 2024 Dem Presidential Nominee.

My money is on Hillary Clinton ... she has more experience with political daggers and she has the New York media establishment behind her.

If true, I can think of only thing that would make him back away:

Michelle Obama

She's not going to run.

Look, folks. Biden cleared the field in 2020. How? Probably mass bribery, since that's his MO... but he did. And chances are, he did the same for Newsom. A little favor under the table, and he is neutralized.

The fact RFK didn't back down is telling.

We'll see...my bet is that she's going to run.

OK, let's take greasy gavin at his word.

Who does that leave them with?

kamala (sutra)?
No way.  NO WAY!

moosey michelle?
That's the unknown here.
If she wants the nomination, it's hers.
But she's as lazy as they come, and I doubt she'd be interested in performing even the most modicum duties of office.

Who, then, becomes "the last man standing"?

Hey, hey, hey, it's RFK (jr) !

If Bobby Jr. is the nominee, just the name recognition alone provides a solid launching pad.
He'd become a serious threat to Mr. Trump's re-election.

I made this prediction in this forum some months' back.
I stand by it.

The Kennedy name wasn't enough to get Uncle Ted over the hump 40 years ago.   Now, the Kennedy name has all the brand relevance of Eastern Airlines.

Not so sure. The whole Larry Sinclair thing could blow up in big Mike's face.  A serious examination of certain sketchy deaths might prove dangerous. Better to stay out of the limelight and just keep on grifting.

Kamala has just the sort of word salad approach that placates a base 35% of the vote, if the polls can be believed.

Bobby Jr. makes just enough sense to appeal to the AFL-CIO types out there. My bet is on him.
