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.
Its 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 wont 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 Bidens family share the idea and would welcome Obamas intervention.

The Mooselimb Pretender will stay totally out of it. He knows Her Thighness cant, nor can any other D, beat Our PDJT.
Odumbo doesnt want to back a loser and tarnish his potentially Kingmaker brand. In the next goround, Koomo will give him the world for the backing.
And . . . they will then have the power to declare any dang thing thdy choose to be a National Energency, spend any amount they wish, quarantine anybidy and take your guns, by force if necessary.
Like Reagan as Governor INFRINGED on 2nd amendment guarded G-d Given rights, PDJT has unleashed a demon of government activity that will be used against us.
Massie was right. If you disagree, take your shoes off and get in line like the good sheeple you have become.
Me? Im going to my local speakeasy and have a few with Patriots.
Dumping Biden would not be difficult at this point. The problem for the dems is finding a way to bypass Bernie if/when Biden pulls out.
I assumed SlowJoe was going to be “Baraq’s Third Term” run by Axlegrease, Plouffy, Rhambo, and ValJ. If that’s correct, the Chicago Mob won’t go down easy.
What abut the 22nd Amendment?
No, because the Kenyanesian Usurpation had bipartisan backing.
BOTH parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.
22nd Amendment?
Leftists don’t follow no steenking 22nd Amendment!
Im guessing Joe wont be thrown out of the car until he scores enough delegates to allow the convention to choose the candidate the really wanted all along.
Ah, one of my FAVORITE subjects, AND, it's not about coronavirus!
The 22nd Amendment is incredibly poorly drafted. It's not clear to whom it applies (voters, parties, Electors, the House of Representatives, individuals, etc).
But one thing that IS clear is that the retards who wrote it did NOT change the criteria for being "eligible to the office of President", and did NOT block ascent to the office by any means, other than "being elected".
Since there are no Presidential elections in the Constitution, it's not even clear what THAT means.
What's perfectly clear is that Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton, or Jimmy Carter if he is still alive could be elected Vice President by the Electoral College, could be elected Speaker of the House or President Pro Tempore of the Senate, could be appointed and confirmed a Secretary of State, etc, and then become President through resignation, assassination, or whatever.
It would have been so simple to draft an Amendment that read, "No person having served more than six years and one day as POTUS shall henceforward be ineligible to the office", but that's not what they did.
Obama must ‘bench’ Biden? Jeeze, he only just cleared the field for him! Make up your mind people! /sarc
BTW, if the Media were actually doing their jobs for the last 10 years they’d know that everything their St. Barak touches turns to sh*t.
Please, run Biden.
I fully suspect the demo will continue to gaslight people into supporting the destruction of our economy, then, come their July dem convention, they’ll bring out Hillary to denounce the whole thing as a Trump failure. She’ll take the nomination and win the election. It won’t be hard for her to do when 40+ million people are unemployed and hundreds of thousands of businesses are gone and the people are shivering in fear in their dark homes.
Yep. Goodwin always makes a lot of sense but this article is lunacy dreaming.
Biden is an embarrassment to the dems which is why he’s the perfect candidate.
Slow Joe is the Clinton’s proxy candidate. he will be the guy running against trump unless he drops dead.
I disagree.
This is Baraq's Third Term
I'll bet on the Chicago Mob over the Clinton Crime Family.
Joe is not going to withdraw, his wife will see to that. If the DNC threatens Joe to withdraw Jill will scare them off. She knows where some bodies are buried too.
