1
00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:10.400
Calaroga Shark media from Washington, DC, where somebody's got a run. This
2
00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.720
is ballot, that's right, and
today we'll take a look at the Then
3
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:19.559
what let's hit this well, folks, buckle up, because we're about to
4
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:24.640
dive into the political version of the
Bachelor, presidential edition. Imagine if Biden
5
00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.960
decided to pull a Lebron James and
take his talents elsewhere. What a plot
6
00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:33.560
twist that would be. First off, let's be clear, Biden dropping out
7
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.759
would be about as likely as Trump
admitting he lost the twenty twenty election.
8
00:00:37.479 --> 00:00:41.640
But hey, stranger things have happened, Like that time we all became sourdough
9
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.000
experts during lockdown. If Biden did
decide to peace out, we'd have ourselves
10
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:50.399
a good old fashioned delegate free for
all. Picture it over, three nine
11
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:55.640
hundred delegates, most of them Biden
loyalists, suddenly realizing they're the political equivalent
12
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.880
of that person who has to pick
the restaurant for a group dinner. The
13
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.000
pressure. Now, you might think
Kamala Harris would be the obvious choice,
14
00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:07.319
but hold your horses. We could
see a whole parade of ambitious Democrats suddenly
15
00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:11.640
remembering they've always wanted to be president. Gavin Newsom might pop up faster than
16
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.280
a prairie dog at a golf course. And let's not forget about those super
17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.640
delegates, the party's VIPs who get
to swoop in like political superheroes. If
18
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:23.159
things go to a second ballot,
it's like the electoral college, but with
19
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.400
better catering. The whole thing would
be messier than a food fight at a
20
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:32.519
kindergarten. We're talking frantic lobbying,
backroom deals, and probably a few stress
21
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.400
induced gray hairs. Well, you
might be wondering who would the candidate even
22
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:42.239
be. First up, we've got
Kamala Harris. She's like the backup quarterback
23
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.480
who's been warming the bench all season. Sure, she's next in line,
24
00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:49.840
but the coaches are nervously eyeing the
stands for a hail Mary option. Then
25
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.040
there's Gretchen Whitmer, the Michigan governor
who's looking more and more like the parties
26
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:57.920
in case of emergency break glass candidate. She's got that Midwest charm and a
27
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:02.519
knack for winning election. Plus she's
probably the only person who could make pure
28
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:07.759
Michigan sound like a campaign slogan pete. BUTAJEG is still hanging around, presumably
29
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:12.719
practicing his Fox News singers in the
mirror. He's like the debate team captain
30
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.240
who's ready to throw down at a
moment's notice. Just don't ask him about
31
00:02:15.240 --> 00:02:20.639
his support among diverse voters. That's
his kryptonite. We've got governor's galore on
32
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.719
this list. Josh Shapiro, Jared
Paulis, Gavin Newsom. It's like a
33
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:28.879
game of governor bingo. Newsom's been
preening for the spotlight so hard he might
34
00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.639
pull a muscle. But let's be
real, running a California Liberal might just
35
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:37.479
give the GOP a collective heart attack
from excitement. And then there's the ultimate
36
00:02:37.520 --> 00:02:40.800
fantasy pick, Michelle Obama. She's
got the popularity of a rock star and
37
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.000
the political savvy of well an Obama, but getting her to run for president
38
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:50.240
would be like trying to convince a
cat to take a bath. Good luck
39
00:02:50.280 --> 00:02:53.360
with that. So there you have
it, folks, The Democratic Parties break
40
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:58.240
glass in case of Biden emergency list. It's a real who's who of waight
41
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.159
who and oh yeah, that person. Stay tuned for our next segment,
42
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.199
Rock Paper scissors. How the DNC
might actually choose their next nominee. I
43
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:10.560
hear it's got better odds than their
current strategy. Portions of today's program were
44
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:14.960
created with the help of AI.
You know who could have used the help
45
00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:15.800
