A lifelike simulacrum of the Ideal Democrat, but fitted with a bomb.

Mayor Pete.

He can talk good, and old ladies like him.

Hurts to say it but yeah, he's quick with comebacks and he's gay, but not in a way liberals would consider 'in your face'. They would love it.

That is until the GOP releases news that he’s not a Top.

The NYT will have a thinkpiece that America needs to be run by a Fucker, not a fuckee.

I think Whitmer with Pritzker would be a good combo, both Midwest governors, sure but that’s actually an important area that can swing versus Harris and Newsome both from California (and one would have to move their address because VP and President from same state invalidates that states electoral votes).

Both libs but less ghoulish. Even if Pritzker is a billionaire (weirdly does progressive stuff because doesn’t have to worry about retirement).

Or Kamala Pritzker. She’s bad but I think could be better than Biden and Pritzker is a white middle aged midwestern billionaire so that reassures conservatives a bit.

I've thought about typing this up a few times but have shied away every other time.

I don't think Pritzker is gonna be a player until next election, he's been cooking up stuff at home in Illinois to shore up his cred for a future run. From a Lib/Capitalist perspective he's doing the right things and hasn't waded into culture war at all, so I expect him to show up next time around as the guy for fascist suburbanites; a competent administrator and successful businessman with no drama or baggage.

Kamala for President with Michelle Obama as VP would probably be the fastest safest thing the Dems could do this close to the election.

Two women of color. Both with time in service in the realm of politics, both known quantities at the national level.

Kamala would be easy enough to just prop up in public or keep at a desk to sign paperwork while the advisors/Congress do the actual governing. She seems to be enough of a political creature to do the "enlightened centrism" shtick naturally.

Michelle Obama being able to take the lead on public appearances, glad handing, and thoughts-n-prayers events.

Darkhorse prediction, not the funniest but I'd find it amusing:

Al Gore and Bernie Sanders but as two grumpy old men so weighed down by their past failures that they can't get out of their own way.
