The RealClearPolitics average finds 64 percent of voters think our nation is on the “wrong track” compared to 27 percent who say we are headed in the “right direction.” Such pessimism will multiply if Americans must endure a Trump v. Overall, a January 2023 Gallup poll found that while 64 percent of Americans think the “United States’ power in the world will decline, 73 percent think China’s power will increase.” If we are a declining power, we need a leader who is an extraordinary innovator with once-in-a-lifetime business acumen, a proven track record and the highest level management skills to reverse our downward spiral. Last month The Hill reported that only 37 percent of Democrats want President Biden to seek a second term, but with no clear replacement. Moreover, polling indicates that Democrats are ready for an out-of-the-box president, not one from “the bench.” But do we know whether any Democratic leaders have asked?Īfter all, Bezos is a superstar performer in a nation long overdue for a leadership course correction. Currently, he appears not to harbor presidential ambitions. With a net worth of $127 billion, Bezos is one of the world’s wealthiest men. He is 59 years old and shopping around for big boy toys like an NFL team while building his dream sailing yacht and a rocket ship to Mars. Yet, outside, there is potentially a “change everything” candidate. Sorry to disappoint, but inside-the-box thinking leads to the lackluster Biden/Harris ticket. However, Challenger X is not on the party’s “deep bench.” Like MacKinnon, Leibovich envisions this known savior candidate parachuting in and changing everything.
He recently wrote a piece for The Atlantic titled “The Case for a Primary Challenge to Joe Biden.” The piece was subtitled: “There must be some freethinking Democrat who’s willing to get in the race.”īetween the lines, you can hear Leibovich screaming, “What is wrong with you people?” when he wrote: “There has to be one good Challenger X out there from the party’s supposed ‘deep bench,’ right? Someone who is compelling, formidable, and younger than, say, 65?” Yet, MacKinnon failed to name a “superstar” who realistically could replace President Biden except for former First Lady Michele Obama - who has shown no interest.Īlso lamenting the Biden problem is journalist Mark Leibovich.
