Hard to argue who is worse vs more pathetic. I still remember that terrible interview Don jr gave between him and his dad.

Eric thrill killed an elephant and then justified it with ā€œwe tossed some paper at the browns.ā€

Lol so he did

Where does Ivanka fall? I recall stories of her attempting relevance and being cast aside asap. Surely Tiffany is the only one to escape the guillotine.

So the scoreboard is currently zero actual elected Democrats saying he should go. On brand, every bit as spineless as the MAGA crew

I actually donā€™t believe this is true, but I do think the establishment legitimately believes Kamala has a better chance than Bernie.

I think itā€™s entirely possible that keeping Joeā€™s corpse on the ballot may be the most +EV thing to do with respect to winning the presidency in November. The point is not really whether anyone else would be more a more competent individual. They all would. Voting and winning elections has nothing to do with individual competence. If it did, neither of these clowns would have gotten this far.

The more I think about it, the more I think a convention would work out just fine. Itā€™ll make good TV, which will benefit the eventual winner. The electorate is crying out for a boring generic Democrat, and itā€™s the best way to pick one without a protracted primary that sows bitter division and forces candidates to compete to come up with toxic policy proposals to try to woo insane primary voters. I really donā€™t see a downside.

The fact that the nominee out of the convention only has to run for 2.5 months is a feature, not a bug.

Agree, this is not the middle of a Vietnam War with a president who declined to run in disgrace.
