Subject: Re: NY Times Editorial Board -- Biden Must Exit Race
Biden isn't stepping down and we are just going to have to proceed. We can talk and exchange views, but Biden isn't stepping down,

You don’t know that. You didn’t know Bin Laden was being shot until they came forward and said “It happened.” You didn’t know Nixon was resigning until he went on TV and said “I’m resigning”, even though there had been months of speculation and denials that he would resign. Lyndon Johnson stunned the world when he announced he would not seek, and would not serve as President late into the Primary Season.

This is not the kind of thing you talk about ahead of time. It IS the kind of thing which is talked about in private conversations, quietly, behind closed doors among friends and supporters. Then it happens.

There are a a bunch of heavyweights lining up on this side of the fence - more than I have seen before, at least publicly, No significant Republican party elders were calling for Nixon’s resignation in the headlines of newspapers. Democrats were still supporting Johnson, even as McCarthy made inroads in the Primaries.

I have a hunch it’s going to happen. Buckle up.
