    And the national convention hasn’t happened yet. He’s not officially the candidate until appointed at the convention.

      I guess the point is that to replace Biden would drive chaos that would last longer than 4 months and be self defeating.

        Biden is self defeating. I don’t see how he can win at this point. 2020 was pretty close.

            Or push to have another nominee, one who can beat the extremely unpopular republican.

              Slipping a new nominee in has the result of chaos. But, if you consider that chaos will not be a problem, then you don’t remember Eagleton.

                Sounds to me like chaos is a threat and not a prediction.

                When centrists don’t get their very first choice, they form PACs to elect Republicans.

                  Being called a “centerist” always makes me laugh. I can just imagine the labels you give yourself.

                    Sorry. When Vichy Democrats don’t get their very first choice, they form PACs to elect Republicans.
