Just the obvious thoughts of this simple, old codger. This whole ordeal, for the Dems, was caused by selecting an unpopular, unqualified DEI Vice President in 2020. Dem have few options (and none of them are good ones):
1. Ride with Joe and hope for a 180 degree turn-around. (unless Joe & Jill want out, this is the path) This would require a 2nd debate, which I doubt Trump will agree to. Trump has multiple good reasons not to participate. "Out of respect to the office, I cannot, in good conscience.....".
2. Resign and hand the reins over to Kamala and try to boost her image while she is POTUS over the next few months.
3. Step aside at the Dem convention and let the royal battle between Kamala and Newsome begin while Hillary waits backstage. None of these three are electable.
While the Dems deal with this catastrophe, Trump continues to chip away at formerly solid blue states. Trump now has a decent chance at winning Virginia, Oregon, and NEW JERSEY.
Note: I don't think Jill will bow out. Her true selfish, power-hungry character has been exposed. What kind of person puts their elderly, incapacitated spouse through this?? In my opinion, we now have a national security issue.
