Many of Donald Trump\u2019s retail-politicking strengths \u2014 the huge rallies, his command of crowds \u2014 have been neutralized, and while he still has control of the narrative from his bully pulpit in the West Wing, the national media remains dead set against him, and puts the worst possible spin on every word he speaks.<\/p>\n<div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"e3lan e3lan-in-post2\"><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Adv<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bagfactory.com.hk\/216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sun Winning Ind Co<\/strong><\/span><\/a>: Manufacture of Canvas Bag, Recycle Bad in China<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theunitravel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TheUniTravel.com<\/a><\/strong><\/span> : Find the latest\u00a0<em>travel<\/em>\u00a0and tourism\u00a0<em>news<\/em>\u00a0from around the world.

The donkey party is thus free to market the cardboard-cutout version of its candidate, having finally accomplished their mission of running a generic Democrat against Orange Man Bad, without ever having to expose him to the general public.<\/p>\n<p>No wonder there\u2019s talk on the Left of canceling the conventions and running an all-mail election. The further away the country stays from reopening, the better their chances.<\/p>\n<p>Still, as 2016 demonstrated, even when the fix is in, you never know. What the Democrats need in order to be sure of beating Trump is the perfect vice presidential candidate, one who will not only balance the ticket, push progressive causes, and check all the social-justice boxes but who will turn out the African-American vote in droves without Biden\u2019s having to say a word or lift a finger.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s already on record as saying he\u2019ll choose a woman. But none of the defeated female candidates for the nomination, including Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar, excited much interest from the Democratic base during the primaries, and while there\u2019s a small\u00a0Stacey Abrams boomlet\u00a0currently going on, her record as the defeated candidate for Georgia governor doesn\u2019t inspire much confidence \u2014 even if, in her own mind, she still thinks she won.<\/p>\n<p>So the choice is clear: Michelle Obama. Never mind that she has even less political experience than Hillary Clinton did when she ran for the White House, and has long said she disdains public office.<\/p>\n\n<p>Currently, Michelle is in talks to possibly endorse Biden via a video and is said to be lending her name to a campaign fundraiser as early as next week,\u00a0according to The Hill. \u201cIf she engages, God help Donald Trump, because she\u2019s tough as nails and enormously popular,\u201d former Democratic Party chairman of South Carolina Dick Harpootlian told the outlet. With her husband finally having endorsed Biden last week, the stage is now set.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it would work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In the next month or so, Biden would announce Michelle Obama as his running mate. With a little reverse engineering of the Obama-Biden bumper stickers of 2008 and 2012, they\u2019re good to go.<\/li>\n<li>Michelle would immediately attract the undying worship of the national press corps. With the country still in lockdown, she can wave to Andrea Mitchell &amp; Co. from the front door of her residences in Washington, DC ($8.1 million purchase price), Martha\u2019s Vineyard ($11.75 million) or Chicago ($1.65 million).<\/li>\n<li>Barack Obama, who manfully supports his wife in all her endeavors, would joke about being the First Husband and cite his familiarity with the White House as a qualification.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nov. 3:<\/strong>\u00a0With the black vote and the Bernie Sanders wing of the party solidly behind them, the Biden-Obama(s) team would defeat Trump in both the popular vote and the Electoral College, flipping Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and North Carolina and winning both houses of Congress.<\/li>\n<li><strong>January 20, 2021:<\/strong>\u00a0Joe Biden is inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States.<\/li>\n<li><strong>January 21:<\/strong>\u00a0On live television, Joe and Dr. Jill Biden tearfully announce that the 78-year-old president is \u201cunable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,\u201d and that under the 25th Amendment, he\u2019s resigning. Michelle Obama is now president of the United States and will not only fill out Biden\u2019s term but will retain her eligibility to run again in her own right in 2024 when she will have turned 60.<\/li>\n<li><strong>January 22:<\/strong>\u00a0President Obama announces her choice for vice president \u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>However unlikely, it\u2019s the smart play.
