Switched to Obama.
Suddenly made sense. Of course it's media fluff, choosing the celebrity. Though this one's the tippity-point of the celebrity pyramid, up there with Madonna, Beyonce, Gaga, Michael Jackson, Robert Downey, Tom Brady, Ben Affleck, her husband, and Trump. The demigods who walk among us, etc. etc. Plus she has charisma, no doubt. Supposedly she doesn't want it, but does not duty call? Nation, empire and world at maximum crisis, and with Baron Harkonnen of Orange watching the world burn?
And then I remembered the obvious, and why it's totally plausible: it's a package deal. No one can complain she's never been elected to anything, since that's also true of Trump. No one can say she doesn't have ample direct observational experience of the office. No one can say she doesn't have a maximally experienced closest advisor (and no one cares what we think about his "record"). No plutocrats' council will cancel her for being unvetted or untrustworthy or not enough of a friend to Davos Man. No donors will worry that she'll actually deliver on whatever programmatic stuff she promises to the plebs. And unlike Biden or Clinton, she'll KNOW how to do Hope and Change.
And, of course, it certainly explains the heavy not-so-invisible hand of BHO, who just stopped the act of hiding in the shadows. Narratively I think nothing else compares, it's got all the epic fixings: Obama, Return of the King, led by the Queen, to destroy the Usurper. Wakandan Princess Slays Son of KKK. It's the strongest they can do, a potential landslide. Oh yeah, Biden can be carried along on that, suddenly so not a problem. They'll even forget he's topping the ticket. Maybe they will only first notice he went missing for days when they discover him lost in some closet, locked up and thirsty.
If it happens, you will be able to convince me that the last two, three cycles of the presidential show were a single ambitious kayfabe script, an unprecedented multi-season arc from Trump brandishing the Birther-in-Chief scepter and his humiliation by Obama at the 2011 Correspondents' Dinner all the way to his stunning revenge and felling of the White Queen and on to this fall's World War Wrestlemania: Corona Depression Edition.
So Obama if they decide to win, Klob or Warren if they prefer to lose.

(HRC and Biden supporters would say Russian bots). I detest HRC, she is repulsive to me. I would vote for HRC over Trump or any GOP.
