Re: John Hickenlooper has an identity problem.

Presidential candidate John Hickenlooper was pressed Friday by a guest host on ABC chat show "The View" about a clash with another candidate during the first debate of 2020 hopefuls last month. Only that wasn't him.

Ana Navarro, a Republican commentator who appears on "The View" and CNN periodically, questioned the former Colorado governor about the Miami debate.

"I remember, from the first debate, Amy Klobuchar slapped you down pretty hard when you said that line, that you were the only one that had done something on ... abortion rights, and she said there are three women on the stage," Navarro said.

Hickenlooper, looking puzzled, answered, "That wasn't to me." In fact, Hickenlooper and Klobuchar, the senator from Minnesota, were on stage on different nights in Miami.

As it turns out, Navarro was thinking of another candidate, Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.

That led host Joy Behar to zing Navarro with: "All white people look alike, apparently."

Interesting, no minority candidates on the first night, other than Klobuchar and she is white. Segregation?

Been seeing more speculation that Michelle Obama is going to jump in the race late. Think she could win? President Obama is still quite popular with many Americans, and I could see where many people would think he would be able to get more terms this way. Possibly one reason why Barack hasn't endorsed Biden yet. An African-American female candidate linked to a previous administration could be unbeatable.

Or a horror story or a comedy.

Wait, you are consulting astrological charts and want quotes on idle speculation? And they say the Left is the party of science! 37 genders and Jupiter ascending!

Part of it is wishful thinking from the Left and part of it is worry from the Right.

homeagain: Speculation is one way to describe it, but paranoid raving would be much more accurate. Here's an example:

Warning - the sickness at the core of the modern right is on full, ugly display there.

You may think it is crazy talk, but I believe that if Michelle entered the race, she would poll ahead of everyone but Biden and Sanders. And I think she could get ahead of them easily. Biden's campaign seems lost. His debate showing was a disaster. Sanders is a niche candidate.
