Lead Trump campaign operatives are hoping Biden stays, believing polls showing their best options are among young minority voters, slowly confronting Trump vulnerabilities, & refocusing away from broad voter contact toward low propensity Trump voters: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
Trump Is Planning for a Landslide Winwww.theatlantic.com And his campaign is all but praying Joe Biden doesn’t drop out.

Trying to stay out of the Biden internet debate, but wrote this piece about how the formal rules of the nomination process aren't really the problem. It's all about the informal ruleshttps://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/biden-replacement-president-race-democrat-history-rcna160923

I am not convinced that Biden is doomed b/c of the debate in and of itself. The poll averages are no longer moving in Trump’s direction. But regardless of that, the ship will not right itself if elites are unwilling to shut up and move on.
Ed is absolutely correct about this, and “time to shit or get off the pot” is exactly the phrase I have been using in offline discussions about this
