    The one thing you can trust this stubborn ass old man is that he will change course and be flexible “for the good of the country” (or at least, some elements of his party I guess)

    I wonder what would happen if the Supreme Court surprised everyone by ruling Trump can’t run, and Biden died. 4 years of Marianne Williamson?

    Axelrod predicted that Biden wouldn’t be inclined to leave the race, noting that “this is a guy with a lot of pride … who believes in himself.”

    Just pulling another Ruth Bader Ginsburg and making it all about themselves, Democratic party stay winning.

    “This is just bad, no matter how you spin it,” said a veteran Democratic operative. “But everyone knows it’s too late to switch. But the donors will make those decisions, as they always do. Hence why we got Biden” in 2020.

    Trump is too much of a narcissist to back out, but after that debate, I think Biden probably should, shortly before the Democratic National Convention in August.

    After Trump spends the next month and a half ripping on Biden’s age and infirmities, a 40-something Democratic candidate will be able to win on a platform of “Ok, Boomer”.
