General Discussion

At least, that's been my read on things. They were teeing up Christine for a while, but there was too much blowback both internally and externally. And then Wiener committed lèse-majesté with his announcement before Pelosi begrudgingly admitted she wasn't running again.

I think the idea was to slot Chan in there if it couldn't be Christina, but they wanted more time for that transition and get all the political and financial ducks in a row. Then Wiener blew it up by saying fuck it and not waiting to run.

I'm fine with either Chan or Wiener. But honestly, I cannot wait to see the backside of this political machine. I do not think it has served us well in a long time. Enjoy retirement already.
