Enjoy.)Jill Biden is making headlines as she teased on Friday that Michelle Obama is the Democrat presidential campaign’s number one pick to be Joe Biden’s running mate. Americans immediately smelled a rat. Don’t miss this.
Appearing Friday on CNN’s New Day, Jill Biden, former second lady and wife of presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden, said that former first lady Michelle Obama would make a “wonderful” vice president.
“I’d love it if Michelle [Obama] would agree to it. I think she's had it with politics. She's so good at everything she does. That would be wonderful,” @DrBiden says when asked if the former first lady would consider being Joe Biden’s running mate. https://t.co/tAOTzVqh4T pic.twitter.com/DShgiFmj9D

A transcript is as follows:
ALISYN CAMEROTA: I know that your husband is in the process of considering a running mate. Who do you want it to be?
JILL BIDEN: Oh my goodness. There’s so many qualified, strong women and you’ve seen them in the process that we’ve gone through. I’m going to leave that up to him. I think that Joe has always said that he and Barack [Obama] shared the same values and that is what was so important to him and that’s why they got along so well and I think that’s who he will look for — a woman who has the same values that he does. I think that’s really important.
CAMEROTA: I have a suggestion. This is just off the top of my head, maybe former first lady Michelle Obama?
BIDEN: I’d love it if Michelle [Obama] would agree to it. I think she’s had it with politics. She’s so good at everything she does. That would be wonderful.
Indeed, political insiders say the Biden campaign is talking with the Obamas hoping to convince Michelle that her role as vice-president would really be a launching pad to become President of the United States.
It’s no secret the Democratic Party’s strategy with Joe Biden’s mental issues is to sell the American people on his successor as the real candidate. In other words, the former vice-president’s role is as a “place holder” for a year or so. He will then bow out since he cannot perform his duties and his vice-president will be lined up to take his place as POTUS.
Under those circumstances, Michelle Obama might just think about becoming the VP nominee.
There is no doubt she is the first pick for the Biden campaign. When Americans hear Jill Biden pushing Michelle Obama as her husband’s running mate they smell a rat. The New Post came up with the same conclusion.
“[The Biden campaign’s] 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,” they reported.
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, according to The Hill.
“If she engages, God help Donald Trump, because she’s tough as nails and enormously popular,” 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.
Americans aren’t buying what the Bidens are selling.

“Yeah well, this has to be the most scrutinized VP pick in History because we all know Joe can’t serve. He has Dementia!” tweeted “Irredeemable Marie.”

The New York Post even concluded that Michelle could pick Barack to be her Veep and that way the Obamas are back in the White House another eight years:
Jan. 21, 2021: On live television, Joe and Dr. Jill Biden tearfully announce that the 78-year-old president is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office,” and that under the 25th Amendment, he’s resigning. Michelle Obama is now president of the United States and will not only fill out Biden’s term but will retain her eligibility to run again in her own right in 2024 when she will have turned 60.
Jan. 22: President Michelle Obama announces her choice for vice president …Barack.
Sound crazy? Maybe. People also said Donald Trump running for president was a ludicrous proposition. One thing is for sure: the Democratic Party has something up their sleeves with this Joe Biden nomination. They realize he cannot discharge his duties as President of the United States. So, whoever they announce as his running mate is the real candidate for president.
