Ignatius’s father (age 102) was LBJ’s Secretary of the Navy. He has also been a high-ranking WaPo executive.

“Is Michelle their candidate?”

I have always thought the answer is, YES! That is the plan, and she will beat Trump. With all the guilt ridden white females voting for her it will be a landslide.

I think Biden risks undoing his greatest achievement — which was stopping Trump.

This is the Government telling you that they don’t want their candidate to run again. They tell you it’s not because he sold out the United States while VP, or that he sold state secrets, or that he has destroyed a vibrant economy, or helped our enemies, or impoverished countless americans, or curtailed our constitutional rights, or damaged entire US industries, or made everyone live paycheck to paycheck. No, they don’t want him to run again because TRUMP MIGHT WIN

There, I said it boldly so the CIA, FBI, DOJ, EPA, State Department, and all the other parts of government that don’t want taxpayer opinion, just taxpayer money, can hear it, THEY ARE AFRAID THAT TRUMP MIGHT WIN A FAIR ELECTION.

There is no bigger statement that the Washington Post could have made about what they think of the people of the United States, or what is important to government. If your still wondering.......it’s NOT YOU THE VOTER.

The Dems want desperately to preserve the lie that elections are legitimate. A candidate chosen by superdelegates will be too obvious.

Out of the 81-million 2020 votes, and considering there’s 15-million extra votes that 2016, 2012 and 2008 ever generated...it’s safe to say that Joe probably got into the 68-million range (minimum of 6-million less than Trump), and this required not only Covid conditions, and corrupted state theatrics, along with a fair number of dual-voting folks to reach the 68-million.

So now you toss in more angry voters than existed in 2020....the Maui-crowd....Twitter-owned by Elon...several states putting intense pressure on their states to clean up corrupted voting....at least a quarter of Democratic voters fed up with Biden-old guy antics....I don’t think you can arrange even 68-million on this 2024 situation.

But I think that the DNC has gauged the three potential replacements (Michelle Obama, Governor Newsom, and VP Harris)...to find that none of them can exceed the 68-million mark either.

RFK Jr? He might be able to achieve this, but he’s not the type of candidate that the present D-Party can put their arms around.

I would imagine they’ve also evaluated what a President Trump would do in 2025 in dismantling the DoJ, dumping the FBI, targeting the drug cartel in Mexico, and reforming IRS. Whoever is Trump’s VP....will be around in 2028 (to win) and still be there at the end of 2036.

It’s a harsh reality. Should you hang onto Joe Biden (our pony-soldier guy) or go for Harris?

David did explain it. Biden “stopped” Trump. The Spin Machine takes care of everything else.

Who are they kidding, he’s their boy.

Nope. Democrats, leftists and globalists are only loyal when it serves them. They attack and defend theirs far better than little wuss republicans do, but they will turn on anyone who isn’t useful to them.

These people lie, cheat, and steal for a living.

Biden hid in his basement and never saw an ounce of ridicule, and he was carried over the finish line by a mob of dedicated “journalists”, and they called him a moderate, and the first day in office he destroyed the border, destroyed our energy independence, and started destroying our economy, and it was all just grand to them.

But now he has low popularity, mostly for being dumb and feeble, but also for destroying the economy, and now with the impeachment looming, he is also a liability. Loyalty switch turns off.

She'll be hard to “persuade”. A $50 million book deal? A Supreme Court seat? A decision by the Department of Just Us not to prosecute her from the millions she took from the drug cartels?

But does Michelle Obama want to be president? Does she really want to trade the carefree life of a celebrity, for actually having to do actual work as president?

Or have we gotten to a point, where a president is a figurehead, and someone else pulls his/her strings anyway, as appears to be the case with Biden?

Are they trying to set up a run for THE HILDERBEAST?

What work would she have to do? A columnist suggesting that she's lazy would be strung up in the town square..

“...the mouthpiece for the CIA establishment.”

This is a message from them to Joe.

That is exactly what it is. They waited until after 9/11 to give Joe his marching orders.

This is a David Ignatius editorial which means it is the view of the Washington Post and the CIA leadership.

Fact check, true. A certainty.

That’s the big difference between 2020 and 2024.

In 2020, Trump had to defend his record, especially on COVID.

This time, it’s Joe who has to defend his.

I have a feeling, nothing concrete, that Joe doesn’t want “to go.”
