facing a real puzzle right now:
Is it is better for Democrats to dump Biden now rather than risk years in “the wilderness” in the increasingly likely event that he loses big? Because it seems that THAT is what they are facing. Risk. Major risk no matter what they do.
On the other hand, it’s not like there are any obviously good options for them. Either way, it is a HUGE step into the dark for them. They really can’t ascertain how deep those two wells actually ARE! It’s inky black in both. And yet, Democrats have to jump in one or the other and hope there is some sort of ledge in the one they choose. And Trump’s footsteps are getting louder and louder…
See, it’s not at all clear that dumping Biden will lead to any better results. Maybe worse. Hence, the Democrat flop-sweat! Running Biden again is a major risk. But so is NOT running him. There is a ton at stake here for Democrats! Because if Trump gets in, he will hammer the crap out of them…
The difference with Trump is that he is cognitively intact–Biden just isn’t. And one thing you can be sure of: Biden won’t get any younger or more cognitively functional. No, this is a one-way flight…
Sure, there is plenty about which to criticize Trump, but he is at least fully oriented, and he is very likely to once again do a pretty darn good job. Neither thing can be truthfully said about Joe Biden.
