If he were running against a McCain or Romney, it might hurt our ticket among loyal Dems to switch. Against Trump? No way.
NYT:
Mr. Biden was drained enough from the back-to-back trips to Europe that his team cut his planned debate preparation by two days so he could rest at his house in Rehoboth Beach, Del., before joining advisers at Camp David for rehearsals. The preparations, which took place over six days, never started before 11 a.m. and Mr. Biden was given time for an afternoon nap each day, according to a person familiar with the process.
An afternoon nap each day!
There’s no silver lining unless he drops out and I still don’t see that happening. Everyone’s prognosticating about what should happen instead of accepting what will happen. Biden is a stubborn narcissist who will stay in just to maintain his dignity.
This describes my MIL pretty well too. I’ll ask her next time I talk to her.
He’s not going to have a real choice. We’re not quite in VinceCarter.gif territory yet, but we’re getting close.
Great messaging, A+, no notes.

Is Democracy on the line or not? How important is this election really? Time for some people to have to answer these questions.
Even if she were going to do it gotta think answer would still be no today so don’t think this lowers the chance at all (although I already think chance super low)
The media is really putting the nail in the coffin he naps in. They can’t just report directly about Trump and his crimes though.
He’s not going to have a real choice.
Except he’s the only one who has a choice. Nobody has the power to force him out and nobody has the pull to convince his delegates to turn against him in a coordinated effort. The primaries have already been run. Unless he voluntarily drops out it’s his name on the ballot and nobody’s going to run against that. How can you pressure a guy who holds all the power? And how much pressure will remain if he fires back and says “I’m not dropping out, either get behind me or fuck off”?
You’d need to convince him it’s the right thing to do, not just for the country but for himself. I think he’s a long way off from believing either to be true. We have people ITF who don’t believe it’s true. I would love to be wrong but I’m tired of injecting the hopium.
If they want a black candidate on the ticket, and they want that candidate to help in a key state, and they want them to be high profile already, who else comes to mind?
I personally don’t subscribe to the theory that black voters aren’t going to turn out if there’s not a black candidate on the ticket, as long as the candidates are good on the issues. Especially if we’re talking about the VP.
