Is This How The Switcheroo Will Work?

There’s a clever new article by Heather Higgins that I picked up at Zerohedge just now. Higgins actually provides a specific point in time for the switcheroo to swap Zhou out for a Dem candidate that the party thinks could win. That would be about two weeks after the Dem convention. The reason for that is that a switcheroo at the convention—per party rules—would require a delegate vote. The Dems need to avoid that to circumvent any sort of insurgency in favor of a non-establishment candidate, and that gets us into September. Makes sense to me:

The September Surprise

Higgins goes into the kinds of offers the Dems would need to bribe the ever grifting Bidens into vacating—we all get that. Which is all fine and good, but the next obvious question—which Higgins also addresses—is: Who would the new candidate be? Her answer is one that has been floated numerous times already: La Michelle (That’s French—it’s kinda like, in English, we say, The Donald).

Higgins swats away all the objections to a La Michelle candidacy that we’re familiar with. Has La Michelle said she’s not interested in politics? “Tosh,” says Higgins. Zhou has redefined the role of the presidency, i.e., has dumbed it down, to a simple placeholder. The president just needs to be able to follow instructions, which is exactly why Kama Sutra would be such a disaster. With La Michelle in the Oval Office, Barry would be in the wings to provide the instructions—or, more likely, to relay the the instructions from Valerie Jarrett and Susan Rice. And how would the Ruling Class feel about Valerie Jarrett once again being the likely power behind the Obama throne? A lot of things have changed since then, especially re Iran and Israel.

I dunno. A Dem ticket featuring La Michelle and Kama Sutra? Does that get past the Yikes! factor? Plus, that still leaves Kama Sutra uncomfortably close to the Oval Office. Yes, La Michelle appears to be, well, robustly healthy. Still … do you really want to take that sort of risk after dodging the bullet for four years? There is such a thing as tempting fate.

I certainly don’t insist on Higgins’ reasoning. Moreover, there are any number of things—on both the domestic and foreign fronts—that are likely to hit the fan between now and then that could change all equations. However, I will suggest one possible fly in the ointment for the Dems under this scenario. La Michelle would most likely still have to go through a series of debates, just for the sake of appearances. It might not happen, mind you—anything is possible in this America we inhabit. But, if there were debates, that would open the door to the very real possibility that La Michelle could “lose it” on national TV. Just sayin’.

Interesting times. Yikes!
