The question is what Democrat? Let’s say you’re a potential candidate. Do you waste your opportunity against Trump in 2024 or do you spend a few years getting ready for your effort in 2028, figuring winning in 2028 would be easier than trying to beat Trump?
Wonder if any Dem in 2024 is the sacrificial lamb and the true purpose of getting Biden out is to salvage what they can in down-ticket races. If Biden stays, he makes every Dem candidate a tougher race to win?
I was about to disagree with you that they would just put up a sacrificial lamb and not try to beat Trump, because they HATE Trump, but your comment about saving the down-ticket races is smart.
They’d love to flip the house, but they know they need to keep the Senate if Trump is in the WH, because they can “save democracy” by not letting all his appointments slide right on through.
