Yes, if Dmitri Mehlhorn is right that Biden will hearken to the polls, then bad swing state polls, together with serious pressure from fellow party members in great fear of suffering disastrous losses in the election, could well be the thing that will catch the conscience of the king.

Yes, if Dmitri Mehlhorn is right that Biden will hearken to the polls, then bad swing state polls, together with serious pressure from fellow party members in great fear of suffering disastrous losses in the election, could well be the thing that will catch the conscience of the king.
And Yes too, we do need a candidate who can beat Trump comfortably -- more like a strong candidate who can beat Trump soundly -- by reminding us of who we are at our best and like JFK motivating us to work together to do what we need to do to meet the huge challenges facing us at home and 'round the world.
I don't think Joe is capable of being such a candidate, not in the midst of recklessly ramping up the risk of nuclear war by authorizing Ukraine to strike Russia with U.S. weapons in order to stave off defeat before our election, and of getting NATO to back him in so doing, and in the midst of continuing to team up with Israel in committing genocide in Gaza and the West Bank even as he purportedly calls for a ceasefire -- and I doubt whether his loyal VP is capable of being such a candidate either.
OTOH, I do have some hope that Gretchen Whitmer can and will emerge as such a candidate, together with whomever she wants as her VP, if we give her a chance to do so.
