Anyone who think they're going to go "Yay!" might as well clap their hands and believe in fairies, because all that'll happen is the narrative will go in a different direction. Media will take it as a sign that Biden really is incompetent and do the "what did Dems know and when did they know it?" There've already been hints. And what about the Heritage Foundation's threat to file lawsuits to keep Joe on the ballot? Some judge will take it. There's always a judge that will take it. And it will wind its way through the courts, wasting precious time. And you can bet some in the media will double back on themselves and say, "Did the Dems make a grave mistake?" So, the party will have to defend itself on that front.
The elite better be burning the midnight oil on this thing because it'll devolve into a mess quite quickly. They'd better be ready.
