Jamnic: The tank and file are a tiny proportion of the nation. But this election is even worse. No one opposed Biden, and no serious candidate opposed Trump. It's like the system has broken.

God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Boardwww.inquirer.com Biden had a horrible night Thursday. But the debate about the debate is misplaced. The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump.

Both of them should step down. It's laughable what the elites have put up.

Er, both these guys won their primaries. It’s not the elites you should blame but the rank and file who have made their choice.

My point is that the rank and file aren’t “elites” and there’s nothing stopping more people from getting involved other than Americans don’t seem to like politics. Biden ran unopposed because he’s an incumbent and no one else thought they could beat him. Repubs prefer Trump over the others.

DeSantis had a shot early on, but it turned out he was a crappy campaigner.

No one outside the very small cheer squad wants either candidate. You have to wonder how that happens in a modern democracy.

I don’t think it’s so mysterious. They are both incumbents of a sort. Voters are capable of making the political calculation that it makes their party look weak and indecisive to change candidates. Also, I think you are underestimating Trump’s popularity among Repubs. They are quite happy with him.
