By the time the 2024 election rolls around, Hillary will be 77, but Joe Biden, if he is still with us as much as he is now, will be nearly 82, and Kamala Harris will still be as obviously unfit to be president of the United States as she is now, even if by then she has served some time (heaven help us) in the Oval Office. The Democrat bench, as Stacey Lennox recently detailed, is even weaker. So why not Hillary? After all, she maintains that she won the election in 2016 in the first place; she clearly believes that she can defeat Trump (if he is indeed the Republican nominee, and again, in her view) in 2024.
The time may be right for Hillary. A new poll has a humiliatingly low 22% of Americans and 37% of Democrats wanting Biden to run again in 2024; meanwhile, only 12% (and 16% of Democrats) want Kamala Harris to be the Democrats’ standard-bearer in the next presidential election. And who comes after that? Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who enjoyed a long unannounced vacation as the supply chain crisis spiraled out of control? Gavin Newsom, the authoritarian governor of the California SSR? Stacey Abrams, who worked against the people of her own state for the sake of woke posturing against Georgia’s voter integrity law?
Miller explained that the rationale for Hillary’s recent reading of her victory speech was “all about gaming 2024.” He added: “Hillary’s trying to humanize herself and inject herself into the 2024 presidential discussion. That’s all it is. Let’s just be brutally crass and direct about it. The fact of the matter is that Crooked [Hillary] is circling around Joe Biden almost like a buzzard looking at the carcass on the ground, saying, ‘It’s not going to be Joe Biden, it’s not going to be Kamala Harris. How can I go and insert myself into this national discussion and remind people that I’m still here?’”
This analysis gains plausibility from Hillary’s introduction to her speech. She said: “I’ve never read this out loud. But it helps to encapsulate who I am, what I believe in, and what my hopes were for the kind of country that I want for my grandchildren, and that I want for the world, that I believe in that is America at its best.” Why would the kind of country that Hillary wants for her grandchildren and for the world be of anything except mild historical interest unless she intends once again to attempt to impose her vision on the rest of us from the Oval Office?

As a registered Republican, I have to admit that I hope Biden or Harris are the candidate…

They need to find somebody under 60. I'd actually prefer under 50, but that might be a bit radical.
It would also be nice if they could find somebody who wasn't a completely self-obsessed morally corrupt d-bag, but I have to admit that idea might be jumping the shark.
I know, I know, it's the policies that matter. Still....

I don’t think Yang is nuts at all. Not sure but what I’d prefer him to Biden.
Yeah, I don't think he's nuts either. He seems to possess something that few politicians have - and that is authentic sincerity. I'd take him over Biden - or almost any other democratic politician. I've not made up my mind on Duckworth.
Biden's win came from having had good dentistry and the pandemic keeping him from campaigning - so fewer public gaffs and lovely 19th century aphorisms .

He still makes the gaffes. You just don't see it on the MSM. Which isn't different than the campaign.
Until we have election integrity, none of it matters...

If you can fake that, you've got it made!
