What was (in January 2021) mere shortsighted cowardice becomes something altogether different now that the Supreme Court has - in very Trumpian fashion, when you think about it - filled the power vacuum created by that cowardice with...itself.

All McConnell had to do, to avoid probably BOTH sides of this 2024 ticket, was give a handful of R Senators the green light to convict Trump in Impeachment II.

By failing to do so, he set everyone down the path that led to, among other things, this 2024 ticket.

He seems to believe that he is putting country first by not dropping out. I doubt that replacing him at this late a juncture REDUCES the chance that Trump wins and Trump winning is definitely the worst of all the options when considering "country first".

100% agree. The GOP is the only thing that could have flushed Trump down the toilet earlier. They chose selfish power chasing instead of "country first" and now here we are.

I said it about dems. But now at this point, all either side would have to do do win a general election is offer up some halfway charismatic candidate under the age of 70.

But, go figure both sides are all in on two of the literally oldest and most unappealing doods to ever declare a candidacy.

It’s like both parties wanna loose.

it's more likely that the old uncle and the good dr. are not quite ready to relinquish all the good stuff that comes with being in washington. that family has been lapping it up for 50+ years.

I will say - RBG's legacy is deeply damaged by her failure to step aside until after it was apparent that her successor would be appointed by Trump.

That's really not how it works at this point in the calendar.

Feel free to describe in detail what it would take to replace Joe Biden AFTER the Democratic National Convention.

There isn't 4 months.

Or even now, in a manner that doesn’t restrict the Biden campaign from handing the keys to its funding and ops to another campaign.

When do states start printing ballots?

I am sure it's not 2 weeks before voting occurs.

I’m citing Stewart’s take last night. (Didn’t gutter just share that?)

England put together an election in like 2 months. France did in less time yet.

I guess a lot of it comes down to whether dems really do try for a better candidate, or just acquiesce to Biden’s ego and sit on their thumbs (but with their fingers crossed!) for the next 4 months
