Reality Check - the angst about President Biden isn't just by the media and the misled...

[Martin Eden]

127. Reality Check:

What were our choices in the Democratic primary, in terms of Party leaders who likely would have entered the primary if our stting president had decided not to seek a 2nd term?

My point is that Joe Biden (whom I hold high esteem) was the foregone conclusion. There really wasn't a viable alternative on the primary ballot.

The OVERRIDING IMPERATIVE in all of this is WINNING THE ELECTION.

I must confess I really don't know what would happen if Joe stepped down and the a different nominee was chosen at the convention.

The only reason for taking that chance would be a consensus among the most astute politicos in the Democratic Party that our chances of winning would improve.

But this discussion is likely moot, because Joe has been unequivocal in his determination to stay in the race.
