Dems can’t just “turn out in the cities” and win a national election... Yes, Democrats run up the score in the urban areas, and that can work many states, but it can’t win a national election just on that. Dems have very high percentage districts 80%, 90% democrat, in the urban areas, but the dirty little secret is, they can’t win without those fairly consistent 45% districts throughout the non urban areas. If those non urban areas that traditionally go republican 55/45 suddenly are going 57/43 or 60/40 republican, Democrats have ZERO shot at winning a national election
Dems don’t have a superstar, and they know they don’t have a superstar, if they did, they would have tossed Biden aside at the start of the primary season and Joe would have never been allowed to run.
So, now they want to toss someone in at the last minute? That player would need to be a superstar among superstars to pull that off, and the dems just don’t have anyone that fits that bill and they know it. Doesn’t mean they won’t try, and the media will certainly be their willing ally trying to make someone look like they are, but they just don’t have anyone like that, not even close.
We will see how it plays out, but as I said if they were going to replace Biden with someone you would likely already see them pushing them heavy in the media to build them up... plant them in the consciousness, etc... they are running out of time.
So if they plan is to replace Biden, you should be seeing a media tour the likes of which you haven’t seen in a long time trying to sell the replacement to the American people even though they aren’t officially running... that will be the tell... so far I haven’t seen that.
We shall see.
We'll see, I haven't seen any polls but with the media I would bet they could get Gretchen Whitmer 100% name recognition in weeks, and I would be she would out poll Biden. Add to her ticket a White male Dem with some experience and we have real opposition and they will be able to campaign, unlike Biden.
