2020 Prognostications

OK, so as is well known I'm no good at political handicapping, but one thing I'm sure of is that Bill Weld gets into it somehow. Either Biden gets the nomination and picks Weld as his Republican vice-presidential candidate—adding a little youth to the ticket along with the moderate views, Weld is only 74—or Warren gets the nomination and wins, and Massachusetts's famously moderate Republican governor, Charlie Baker, names Weld to replace her in the Senate.

Or Bernie gets the nomination and bloodthirsty Twitter centrist Sally Albright carries out her threat (not warning) to get a centrist third party on the presidential ballot, which she says is the way Democrats can capture the Senate if Sanders is the nominee, logic I don't entirely follow, and of course Weld is the one.

The only thing Weld will never get is the thing he's reputedly running for.
