Democrats need to recruit Obama to bench Biden, find another candidate: Goodwin
NY Post ^ | 3/28/20 | Michael Goodwin

It is a given in politics that an incumbent has the advantage until things go wrong, at which point the challenger gets an edge. Then why, amidst panic, death and economic shutdown, is Joe Biden looking like the sick man of 2020?

**SNIP**

So how did the script get flipped, with Trump rising and Biden shrinking? And what can Dems do about it?

The first answer is fairly obvious: Trump has outperformed expectations as Biden first disappeared, then reappeared in several dreadful performances.

**SNIP**

So what can Dems do?

Find another nominee. But first, they must bench Biden, or persuade him to bench himself.

It’s a job for Barack Obama.

The former president remains the most trusted member of his party and is uniquely situated to deliver the bad news to his vice president. In fact, it won’t be a total surprise given that Obama never endorsed Biden, despite making it clear he did not want Sanders, the only other choice, to be the nominee.

Obama could pitch withdrawal as a final public service to country and party. For all we know, members of Biden’s family share the idea and would welcome Obama’s intervention.

In truth, with the virus continuing to spread and deaths rising, all Democrats might benefit from the outbreak.

The more dead the better. From some of the fake news headlines, Gropin' Joe is up by 25 points. RATS really need to leave that alone. And why can't Cankles pick someone? She's the smartest woman in the Milky Way.

No. We need to push Biden across the line to the Democrat nomination, and make sure he's leading the Democrat ballot on November 3, 2020.

As an aside, Obama's not doing to do diddle-$hit. He's a shell of a man, a mannequin put there by handlers. He's got it too good choomin' around on his Martha's Vineyard digs, flying flying to Hawaii, and jetting all over the place.

Obama is basically irrelevant as a washed up puppet. But yes, the D’s need a far better candidate than anyone they’ve got now- if only to retain their power position in the House

The Dems already have picked Biden’s replacement. Have you not noticed Cuomo on TV everyday? Speaks to the nation as much as NY....

As the old saying goes - you can’t beat somebody with nobody.

Donald J. Trump is the highest profile “somebody” out there, and the Democrats have not offered any substitute for that high profile.

I do not believe they could find anybody within their ranks that would measure up. Sure, Mike Bloomberg has more money and can provide sufficient backing for just about anybody, but he has the personal charm and charisma of a fence post.

Do you think there is anyone who would dare try?

Not even sure Barr is going to mete out anything to anyone.

Goodwin seems to believe “Obama” gives a shit.

Pathetic delusion.

We were saying the same things about McCain in 2008.

I'm afraid y'all are stuck with him. :)

Cuomo has tremendous bad baggage. We will just need to air his ‘America was never great’ comments. I hope this country isn’t stupid enough to fall for that idiot. (But we must guard against ballot harvesting. That was our downfall in 2018).
