   It looks like I'm going to have to reverse myself on the Biden issue. I thought if the campaign could limit his exposure, bring other democrats to the fore and present it as a team based administration you could sell it. Unfortunately Joe isn't getting any more lucid and blood is thick in the water. The long knives are out, so the Dems might as well get on with finding a candidate. If you do it right you can carry momentum into the fall. Remember Americans love a winner.

     @Legit_Spaghetti I'm inclined to agree but I'm sensing there's resistance to simoly corinating a successor. I've read that there's more support for a process.

     That sounds like exactly the kind of wishful thinking the Quitter Caucus would put out there. NO ONE wants a convention where party insiders hold a vote when millions of people have already voted for the Biden/Harris ticket. That would disenfranchise millions of core Democratic voters, the kind that show up for primaries.

     AOC is right. These people are either clueless or bought. If it's not Biden, it's Harris.

     @mike What is this "finding a candidate" silliness? If it's not Biden, it's Harris. If the Democratic nominee is neither Biden nor Harris, the president's name in 2025 is going to be trump.

     There's really no point in "finding a candidate." We HAVE a candidate. And a backup.
