Big hat tip to @jbouie.bsky.social for treating uncertainties as uncertain, with both downside and upside potential, rather than what many pundits are doing: imagine a positive scenario and act as if things will smoothly go that way if only people try it.
Doesn't seem like a high bar. And yet...

Thank goodness for Bouie. Why in the world was Stephens even on that panel?

Bouie is too polite to follow it with: “and nor should you be, either”

I've talked myself into thinking Biden should step aside for Harris. She's more likely to win than him and it would do the party and the country good. But it's got to be Biden doing it and everyone has to agree no fighting, we're just going with Harris.

Biden's age is just a stand-in for whatever criticism would be lobbed against another Dem. Making them younger would only shift the issue. I was just thinking earlier today how Dems ran a veteran in 2004 while war was the main issue, and the GOP successfully smeared him *for winning war medals*.

it’s unbelievable to me that anyone is taking the idea seriously (not jbouie who is giving it the criticism it deserves) it’s not even an idea, it’s a fantasy Parent Trap-ass hijinks swapping out the presidential candidate at the 11th hour… lol sure

While I agree that Biden is (by far) the best option (by far), and Harris is the second. What I don't know is by what process Biden's delegates transfer to Harris. I don't think he simply commands it and it is so, but I may be wrong.
