I'm starting to think he bails this week, for a Harris-Newsom ticket - not decided by the delegation at an open convention in Chicago but decided by the Democratic Elites.

Aren't those basically the same thing? Or are you using "delegation" to just mean the outcome of a primary?

I responded "No." I do not believe he has the mental capacity to be president of the US.

I also believe Trump sucks and that Biden belongs in a nursing home.

Home healthcare works well for a while. I don't think Biden belongs in a nursing home. His spouse can give him some care, and if they need more assistance, they have the secret service, and they could retain home healthcare workers.
Biden should step aside, and allow another Democrat to run.
If he does step aside and suspend his campaign, the age and mental acuity issue will alone be focused on the former president.
A super majority of the electorate wanted neither of these candidates to run.

I think we can see "delegates" who are usually low level or county level Democratic Party "officials" and supporters, and the elites who likely are not "delegates" but hold a lot of power. They can horse trade, by elevating those delegates to potentially lucrative party or government positions.

Ambassador to Lithuania?

Assistant Associate Secretary of Commerce?

Newsome as a VP would be a waste. They'd need someone from one of the midwest states up for grabs.

It's not up for grabs, but this guy is almost as good as Newsom for f'ing things up.

I suppose. I guess if you really want a late change, I always assumed it would fall into some realm of "politics," which is trading and compromise to get things done.

Honestly, both should probably step down, age and mental acuity factored in. And then we get what we get.

I guess this happens often too, seeing that "all" politicians provide approved questions to hosts?

There are power brokers in both parties because there is a ton of power and influence to be had if your party wins the White House. Look at how many appointments a President can make, and the Senate goes along with rare exceptions. Nearly all these positions are highly desirable for the rank and file. So, these "behind the scenes" folks who wield this power are the invisible movers and shakers. And they know each other, with few exceptions, and I'd bet a nickel they are conversing hard right now about what to do and how to do it.

This is akin to what conservatives call the "Deep State", but that will always exist. Maybe a typical President makes a few decisions, on occasion, do X instead of Y, but most of the time I think these folks make it for him. And in the case of Biden, I can see them looking at polling very closely for impact from the first debate and where things stand. It'll take a couple weeks, they have a contingency plan already forming, and then they will pull the trigger.

I wouldn't say "all", I'd say it's quite common. Candidates are "handled" by their handlers. The handlers will be asked for interviews all the time from Joe and Sally and Bill. They control who gets the interviews, and they know which will throw softballs. And they will suggest questions to be asked.

If it's up to the host to ask them or not, it's fine with me. My guess is the host will usually ask roughly half of them to keep the handlers happy, and perhaps get a future interview. An adept handler will pretty much know the questions to be asked anyway.

Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race?

Quote

I am not usually one to offer diagnoses of people I’ve never met, but it does seem like the pundit class of the American media is suffering from severe memory loss. Because they’re doing exactly what they did in the 2016 presidential race – providing wildly asymmetrical and inflammatory coverage of the one candidate running against Donald J Trump.

One explanation for their actions is they think Biden is going to lose, and they don't like that.

There is a fellow on FB I knew in HS who is, well, hyper liberal and hyper active. He really thinks the media largely are on the side of Republicans and biased against progressive candidates because the billionaires who own the media don't want higher taxes.

He also thinks inflation was caused by corporate greed, I mean, CEOs woke up one morning and suddenly were greedy and raised prices.

It can be entertaining. One of his recent posts, TFG = Trump, I'm not sure why.

TFG is probably insane, he is amazingly uninformed, was utterly incompetent in office ( Covid, 500,00 extra deaths; incompetent plan to withdraw from Afghanistan, a Middle East peace process that dealt out the Palestinians which led directly to October 7, and so on) yet his infirmity and incompetence is not reported. I think the media owners fear higher taxes more than the death of democracy
