Subject: Re: NY Times Editorial Board -- Biden Must Exit Race
If the Democratic party can't get Biden elected over Trump, what makes you think they could get someone else elected? That's my issue.

Because Biden is now seen as a terribly flawed candidate. TERRIBLY FLAWED, as evidenced by what 50 million people saw with their own eyes and ears.

Gretchen Whitmer, by contrast, vis well regarded in a “labor” state, would poll extremely high with women (where Trump is weak), and has a track record of legislative success. Gavin Newsom less so because “California”, which while dynamic, large, and growing also has negatives in budget deficits, homeless, and immigration issues, but even those pale in comparison with Joe’s (public perception) problems.

Is there no one left in this country who is capable of thinking rationally?

Give the number of highly focused and experienced political writers at the Washington Post, New York Times (including the editorial staff writers of the newspaper in addition to more independent op-ed writers), websites like Politico, Cook, and even people like Jon Stewart and Rachael Maddow, not to mention Albaby1 and Goofyhoofy (me), I think the more relevant question is “Are you capable of letting go of a political candidate who is certain to lose, just because you like him?” Even Goldwater, a long time friend and supporter, faced reality and walked to the White House to tell Richard Nixon he had to resign for the good of the country. It happens. It’s politics, not a neighborhood house party.

Goofy, feel free to jump in here as well. I'm concerned that you might have been hacked, too. Perhaps I should as you to identify the musical instrument that made one Fool very happy not long before his passing.

I have jumped. I did so within minutes of seeing the first opening catastrophic remarks in the debate. It didn’t get better.

Harpsichord.
