Look at all the women I didn’t rape!
But there’s something the Democrats can do that would not just put a lump in people’s throats with its appeal to stop-Donald-Trump-at-all-costs unity, but with its originality and sense of sacrifice. So here’s my pitch to the writers’ room: The Democratic Party should pick a Republican.
At their convention next month, the Democrats should nominate Mitt Romney.
Does Mr. Romney support abortion rights? No. Does he want to aggressively raise the minimum wage, bolster public education, strengthen unions, expand transgender rights and enact progressive tax reform? Probably not. But is he a cartoon thug who did nothing but watch TV while the mob he assembled beat and used Tasers on police officers? No. The choice is between Donald Trump and not-Trump, and the not-Trump candidate needs only one qualification: to win enough votes from a cross section of Americans to close off the former president’s Electoral College path back to power.

What should Joe Biden do now?
Resign, and let Kamala become the president?
Just continue being the president, as usual?
Be the president while also campaigning for Kamala and the Democrats?
Just finish out his term, find ways to promote Kamala.

Ya, you don’t want Kamala getting drawn into any Israel Palestine stuff as it’s a no win situation. Let both sides think she could help them.
Yes, of course.
Resigning would mean no VP, which might be useful if Clarence has an RV misadventure.
