Ted Cruz Warns Of ‘Very Serious Danger’ Joe Biden Will Drop Out Of 2024 Race By August and Be Replaced With Michelle Obama

.......................

“So here’s the scenario that I think is perhaps the most likely and most dangerous. In August of 2024, the Democrat kingmakers jettison Joe Biden and parachute in Michelle Obama,” Cruz said. “I view this as a very serious danger.”

Cruz argued Obama would be a simple decision that wouldn’t disrupt the party.

“Michelle Obama, number one, you don’t infuriate African-American women, which is a critical part of the constituency that Democrats are relying on to win. But number two, you avoid the problem, if you pick from any of the four, the other three are pissed because they’re all to some extent, peers, they’re rivals. They’re all jabbing knives at each other,” Cruz said.

Cruz said this would be the one idea that would actually unite Democrats.

“Michelle Obama, because she was first lady, has the ability to kind of parachute in above all four and say, ‘Hey, we’re not picking among any of you. You guys can all fight it out next time. You’re all going to be on the same level. We’re coming. This is the Obamas saving the day.’ And I think in terms of a solution. That unifies Democrats. There ain’t nothing like that. I also think Michelle is not all that eager to run for president. But to parachute in in August of ’24, a couple of months before the presidency and suddenly wake up and be president — ” Cruz said................

He's trying to scare the MAGAts with Black women - he could have just as well claimed the Dems will parachute in Fani Willis or Letitia James or Maxine Waters, but Michelle is the best-known of Black women in polktics, and she's particularly frightening because she's married to the guy who wears tan suits and killed Osama bin Laden. Also, she wanted kids to eat vegetables.

He really is an embarrassment, and if Harvard wants to be able to keep bragging about the quality of their law school they might want to issue some klnd of disclaimer about Cruz. "He got pretty good grades so we had to let him graduate but we have no control over our graduates' sanity after they leave."

…sliding along on his trail of slime. This is what he thinks will get out his racist, misogynist, voters? Has he moved on from VP Kamala Harris? Not scary enough?

The Democratic Party has a crop of the most intelligent and accomplished women imaginable, and many of the most outstanding are Black. I am proud of my party that such women would want to be part of it. .

Have I mentioned yet today how much Ted Cruz disgusts me?
