The Democrats had plenty of time to edge Biden out. Despite all the talk, no one seriously tried to do it.
Now they’re stuck.
The DNC rigged the primaries for Biden. He’s the nominee. There are possible convention challenges, but they’re a longshot because the power behind Joe Biden isn’t Jill Biden (many seem to think that a D of Ed community college talent is the Machiavelli here), but a network of political careerists who are using him and who in traditional fashion control the DNC. They’d have to be dealt in or crushed and the whole show would further wreck the party’s standing. It’s an open question if the Dems suffer worse with Biden on the ballot or a divisive convention fight that splits the party. Any talk of a 25th Amendment would be the same problem x 10.
Can the Dems get Biden out?
It’s possible. But it would require a rapid concerted effort to inform Biden that he can’t run again and has to announce that he will drop out for health reasons (and maybe to be there for Hunter and his family.)
That means Obama, Hillary and every influential party figure staging an intervention, it means informing key DNC people that unless they switch sides, they will be blacklisted, and making it clear that there is no longer an option in which Biden is the candidate.
Can this happen? Yes. But it would require getting everyone on board. And that would be a challenge (but much less than it would have been last week).
And yet at the end of the day, Biden can (and very well might) tell them to all go to hell. Obama was able to persuade Biden not to run in 2016. He may be less persuadable now. That leaves few good options.

The Republicans must remember, when your enemy is destroying himself, sit down, and shut up.
Daniel Greenfield is overlooking the obvious.
For the Never Trumpers, the democrats are not the enemy.
The headline writer needs to check in with Vince Foster about the Hillary retirement plan.
They know his crimes. They can always have him arrested for acts of corruption.
Understand.
And he won’t go willingly. His ego might even be bigger than Trump’s. Just not as obvious.
It sure would be fun to see Kamala the squeeze toy finish this term.
Far more important someone has to pull 25th Amendment out now and execute it!
Our nation is imperiled beyond description and has been for years - but now it’s evident to ALL...
EXCEPT FOR DR. JILL! She should be tried for treason...
Oh, they can. It won’t be pretty, but they can.
[Daniel Greenfield is overlooking the obvious.]
The 25th Amendment, or Fentanyl cookies?
The vain pedophile will never resign but I hope he lives long enough to get prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. It’s only karma.
the DNC wouldnt try unseating Biden unless they think they’ve got someone else lined up who could have a chance against Trump
none of the D big names could possibly come close if the election were held today
and several of them have glaring, huge political liabilities, vulnerabilities, too
it has been obvious to the entire world for several years already that the DNC didn’t have a bench of saleable potential substitute candidates.... and yet...the DNC has done nothing to develop the next generation of candidates. the party is dying before our very eyes
and the DNC, bless them, are up here in the bleachers with the rest of us, watching it wither along with Biden/HilLIARy,Pelosi, Schumer and the rest of their 80 year old disaster cases
Instead of just standing by and watching this play out, the republicans need to start a campaign to get Joe Biden into some kind of protective program before he dies from the abuse. Everybody call 911!
A third brain aneurysm at the most opportune time. Merely by chance, of course.
Yes, they absolutely can make him leave, via the 25th. I suspect the House Speaker would cooperate.
How hard would it be to buy off Jill?
Next question is the second debate”.
Will they have it and let the so called moderators put Trump in a woodchipper to help Joe?
If they get Joe to not run because they are admitting he is mentally unfit, how do they explain leaving him in office for another 7 months?
