We've heard this one before . . . But the silly season sentiments seem to take on greater urgency this week.
The basics . . .
INSIDERS CLAIM MAYOR Q PROBABLY WON'T FINISH HIS FULL 2ND TERM GIVEN HIS RISING STAR STATUS AMONGST D.C. CIRCLES!!!
The basics of the argument . . .
Kansas City politics is a dead-end gig. Mayor Q knows that MOST people who hold the top job will never go much further than 12th & Oak. Congressman Cleaver is the exception that proves the rule but even his carefully crafted district is likely the only place where he can enjoy almost complete political dominance.
Even worse . . . Congressman Cleaver doesn't seem to be ready to retire any time soon and more promising politicos than Mayor Q have waited years to be next in line.
Looking forward . . . 2024 will be a tumultuous year and even the most skeptical political observers understand that A LOT is going to change on the national political stage in the next year.
Accordingly . . .
The Mayor's team has hinted that a high ranking appointment is the Mayor's exit strategy.
It's likely that 2025 or even December 2024 will see Mayor Q leave for D.C. permanently.
Amongst our local elite . . . This is already an open secret and that helps to explain why nobody opted to run in the current low-interest affair.
And so . . . Our current election now seems even less important given that insiders hint that local voters aren't that important in determining who holds power.
