Why Trump wants Biden to stay in the race
Over the course of the last two years, I have written several pieces saying I don’t believe President Joe Biden will be the Democratic nominee in November. For a number of pragmatic, commonsense, “Campaign 101” reasons, it simply makes no sense.
To that very point, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough — who speaks of his “love” for Biden — asked a very logical question yesterday after Biden’s perceived debate meltdown: “If he were CEO and he turned in a performance like that, would any corporation in America, any Fortune 500 corporation in America keep him on as CEO?”
I suspect the answer from all except those deep in the tank for Biden or profiting off his presidency would be a resounding “No.”
But, as former Clinton, Obama and even Biden alums rightfully hit the panic button because of Biden’s faltering performance at the debate on Thursday night, I maintain that the “replace Biden” scenario creates a potential political minefield for Team Trump.
While most rational Americans might now agree — based upon Thursday night’s debate fiasco, coupled with numerous policy failures — that it does make sense for the Democratic Party to switch out........
