  • If Biden drops out of the race, the candidate would be Harris. He’d resign, endorse Harris, and it’d get confirmed at the convention. The only “fresh new, younger face” would be the VP pick.

    I’m not saying that’s a problem, but the idea that that an open floor battle at the convention would be a good idea is nuts, and just discarding the sitting VP like that would probably shatter the democratic coalition.


















  • The difference is that Manchin, for all of his many flaws, is probably the only Democratic senator that we’re likely to see from WV in the foreseeable future. So, the option isn’t “Manchin or a better Democrat”, it “Manchin or a hard right-wing republican”. WV is one of the reddest of states and it’s almost shocking that a Democrat won there at all and it’s easy to understand why he bucks the party.

    Sinema has no excuse aside from her seeming delusions of importance and dreams of cushy corporate cash once she’s out.
