    At this point, I don’t even think of dumping Biden as just a satisfactory fallback position, but as a winning strategy, and specifically for this reason.

    I see it as a prerequisite for victory.

    It’s not as if Biden suddenly became a weak candidate the night of the debate - he’s been a weak candidate all along.

    The debate just made it undeniable. The excuses for his performance at the debate have been even more embarrassing.

      Name one time…just one where replacing the incumbent 5 months from the general election worked.

      This is not just a dumb idea, but people who think like this simply do not have a fucking clue how politics works.

        Name one time we ran an 81 year old who brags about beating Medicare.

        We’re already dealing with an unprecedented situation.
