The DNC is Digging Up Dirt on 20 Potential 2024 Candidates Like Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley and Mike Lindell

"SNIP......

After Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney in 2012, Democrats began to plan for the next election in 2016. They could have not imagined, at that point, that they would be running against a failed businessman and reality TV star.

So the party is pulling out all the stops for their 2024 opposition research. Of course, Trump could again be the candidate. In order to do so, though, he would have to clear a number of different hurdles.

So the DNC is looking at around 20 candidates. There are favorites in the group like Ron DeSantis and Nikki Haley. But in leaving no stone unturned, Democrats are even looking at wildcard candidates like My Pillow Guy, Mike Lindell.

The Hill reports, “The DNC also has a team in place to beef up its fundraising and organizing operations for both the 2022 midterms and the 2024 cycle.” Running the operation is Jen O’Malley Dillon who successfully ran Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign. 

.....SNIP"

I believe she really believes in republican policies. What a nitwit. DeSantis is too T-Rex like.

If you can consider a demented baboon with 3rd grade level intelligence and language skills having "charisma", well then I suppose...

people like him to sell crap to the base. It does not work on most reading people but seems to have 37% of america rapt.

Sniveling, groveling and boot-licking that would make Gollum recoil in disgust. No "dirt" necessary.
