The Coming Biden Coup and Michelle-Gavin Gambit

Don't miss this one!

Joe Biden will not be on the November ballot for president.  With each new Biden crime family revelation and new poll finding Donald Trump will beat Biden like a drum, the inevitability of Biden stepping aside grows.

Yet, Biden will not step aside before the end of the Democrat primary season.  Instead, without real opposition, Biden will be poised to accept his coronation at the August Democrat convention in Chicago.

Democrat strategists now plotting the Biden coup see this uncontested primary season as an essential element of a winning November strategy.  As Nixon once advised, run to the right to win the primary but run back to the middle to win the general. 

In this case, by avoiding a hotly contested Democrat primary with numerous candidates trying to outwoke one another, the eventual ticket that runs in November will not be burdened with taking extreme positions in a primary anathema to the American center. 

How will Biden will be convinced – or forced -- to step down in favor of a brokered, back room deal Democrat convention?   Biden wants a grand legacy of his White House days and full pardons to keep him and his family out of prison. 

On the legacy front, Democrat strategists will confront Biden with the reality that if he gets trounced in the general election by Donald Trump – as polls say he surely win – Biden’s place in history will be beside Jimmy Carter as the most hapless president of the modern era.  If Biden still resists this pressure, key leaders within his party and a legacy media that above all fears a new Trump presidency will, as surely as Brutus put the knife to Caesar, take Biden down and thereby clear the path for a fresh ticket.

On the pardon front, Joe Biden will wait until after the November election and before he resigns to pardon not just the prodigal son Hunter but also brother James, who is generally regarded as the consigliere in the Biden crime family.  As for Biden’s pardon, he will quietly step down before Inauguration Day and let President Kamala Harris do the dirty deed as part of the deal.

Kamala certainly won’t lead the replacement ticket in November. Her numbers are almost as bad as Joe Biden’s; and she has the worst kind of quality a politician can have – a loathing unlikability.   

Instead, Kamala will agree to go quietly into the same bad night as Joe.  The quid pro quo will be the promise of first dibs on the next Supreme Court vacancy.

The dream ticket among the Biden coup crowd most likely is Michelle Obama-Gavin Newsom. 

Michelle is the anti-Kamala.  She has a robust favorability rating that crosses party lines and a relatively low unfavourability rating. 

Michelle will be expected to bring back the black vote, particularly black women, now running for the exits from Joe Biden.  She will also appeal to the more moderate elements of the Democrat party who remember with revisionist history fondness the mediocre reign of Barack Obama. 

Newsom will be a youthful face.  His broad mission will be ensure no progressive defections to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. or millennial or Gen Z defections to either Trump and Kennedy.

Any effective Republican counter-strategy must smoke the Biden coup out early.  This means making Biden vigorously deny he will drop out while making candidates waiting in the wings – particularly Obama and Newsom – deny they will participate in the Biden coup.

In fact, voters should be rightly outraged if the Democrats try to replace Biden-Harris without a proper vetting of the candidate field in a Democrat primary season.  Republicans should get that message out early and often; it’s as true as the primary season is long; and voters, particularly Independents, will be alienated by the Democrats if they attempt such a cynical ploy.

Second, voters must be messaged to separate any positive feelings about Michelle Obama from the reality of an Obama presidency that was a hot mess on everything from the economy to foreign policy.  The messaging mantra: The now highly unpopular Bidenomics is bad fruit from the poisonous Obamanomics tree. 

Third, Gavin Newsom must likewise be tagged early and often as the poster boy of the woke progressive movement.  His inclusion as the VP candidate must come with an appropriate pound of MAGA flesh from a country’s whose middle is sick to death of the Californication of America – it can not be said too many times Newsom was the mayor of one of the worst woke and failed cities in our country, San Francisco.

Finally, if Michelle Obama really does take on Donald Trump in the November election, this will reduce an otherwise two-pronged Republican attack strategy based on Biden’s toxic personality and his reckless and feckless policies to a one front war over competing policy visions.  This is an extremely winnable war for the Republicans! 

Middle America where the median voter lives is sick to death over the takeover of this country by radical Democrat progressives destroying everything from our economy, society, and political system to, most dangerously, our borders and national security.   For a Republican win, Democrat strategists must not be allowed to obscure the hot, steaming policy excrement of a woke policy agenda inside a fancy Moderate Michell wrapping.
