I have never seen a better example of the bored punditry pretending two ideas cannot exist in people’s heads at the same time than “biden is too old to run” and “I don’t care that biden is too old to run if that’s all you’re gonna offer me”
Both ideas exist in my non pundit mind.
Dump Biden for Harris*? Sounds complicated.
Elect Biden, then give Harris the keys later? Hard for different reasons.
But the outcome is President Harris regardless and I don’t care when.
*ditching Harris is suicide IMO.
Has anyone done the comparison with Reagan yet? As in, a man who was barely coherent (or awake) for most of his Presidency, to the extent that it was a worldwide joke. And he still got re-elected.
We really should address the fact that our political pundit class is staffed by people who by and large cannot hold two thoughts in their heads and have the memory of a goldfish.
