This is nice but maybe we should save it until a week or so after the Rat Convention in Milwaukee. Let the Rats commit to Creepy Uncle Joe, then launch the attack. I don’t want the Rat Pack to run anybody except him. Timing is everything.

"This is nice but maybe we should save it until a week or so after the Rat Convention in Milwaukee."

My thoughts as well. Why give them more time...and their convention, to replace him?

This is nice but maybe we should save it until a week or so after the Rat Convention in Milwaukee.

I'm going to take the opposite view and say it's better to do it now. Here's why:

• While it might seem like the post-convention chaos of changing the nominee might hurt the Democrats, they are a lock-step hive mentality that will simply follow the replacement.
• Replacing Biden at the convention will give the Trump campaign a permanent candidate to craft a targeted strategic message that accentuates the President's accomplishments in contrast to the Democrat candidate's weaknesses.
• Replacing Biden closer to the election will force the Trump campaign to have to remessage their campaign. This runs the risk of the President's message becoming "old news" or "trite" or "stale" if it was deployed against Biden and then recrafted for a new candidate. It sets up President Trump for charges of being "cookie cutter," suggesting that he only has "one note" that seems weaker and weaker as he tries to play it against different people.

” Timing is everything.”

See “Lena Guerrero” (AKA Lying Lena) for context here. She played a big role in getting W elected over Ann Richards. I had a Democrat friend who moaned and groaned about how the Republicans knew about her false resume for months but waited until a few weeks before the election to reveal it.

Biden is so much worse than Lean ever even pretended to be.
