There’s a theory going around that they’ve resigned themselves to losing to Trump this time and, rather than “waste” a “better” candidate, they’ll just let Sloppy Joe limp to defeat and blame their loss on him, rather than their policies.
I don’t think that their Chinese masters will like it, but they may be between a rock and a hard place. They could let the Presidency fall, again, if they control the rest of government. Trump has proven that he won’t use the Marines.
I've heard that theory too, but I'm not sure what to think of it. On the one hand, the Democrats never concede anything, no matter how bad their candidate is. On the other hand, removing Biden from the top of the tickets leaves them with the problem of what to do about Kamala, who would also lead them to certain defeat. If the Biden/Harris ticket goes down in flames in November, they're both out of the picture, with the Dems hoping to checkmate Trump by winning the House and the Senate.
I 100% don't believe that. They know Biden will lose, they are going forward with a 2 part agenda. 1) Work on any possibility of replacing him with kamala. 2) escalating their attacks on Trump in all ways.
“and blame their loss on him, rather than their policies.”
Good thought. Truly, his administration’s terribly flawed policies are our real problem. Those policies are not due to just him.
