bouie is literally the only person on the NYT board who is behaving and responding to the debate like a professional that has followed and covered a presidential election. i mean that seriously, i'm not being snarky.
if you actually get *paid* to write about politics for a living, screaming that the nominee has to drop out after one bad debate *in june* (and one in which the challenger did not do well, either), you are unqualified for your job and your salary
Biden steps down. Harris is muscled aside in favor of Andy Beshear. Jim Clyburn and other high ranking blacl Democrats says “wait a sec, why are we elevating Harris?” what happens next?
And the "is muscled" readily collapses on examination. The only one in the party with that muscle is Biden, & why in God's name would Biden be engineering his own replacement by undermining his hand-picked successor? One night of bad headlines becomes a persistent nightmare on the party's chest
If D’s are shitting the bed after last night, how do you think I’s and “never Trumpers” are feeling?
Does anyone honestly think after last night we gained support from those demographics?
Gained? No. But they'll come back soon enough, especially if Biden can make more displays like he did in Raleigh today. Never Trumpers are *never voting Trump* so I'm not too worried about their preferences. Meanwhile, Trump is getting sentenced in two weeks.
