A Democrat nightmare?

It doesn’t matter. Sorry, but there is no chance that Biden is the candidate next year. They just don’t want the chaos and unknown elements of having an actual primary season. God help them, Bernie might actually win.

Instead, there will be a decision made either just before or during the convention, and the baton will be handed off to somebody else. There will be a schism in the Democrat party because of this, but when the alternative is Trump, they will all fall in line for 2024. 2026 and 2028 will be a shitshow, though.

I heard an argument recently that Biden's handlers won't be excited for a different candidate, since anybody else will inevitably be less their puppet.

In a sane world, Biden will not be the candidate in 2024.

OTOH, in a sane world, he wouldn't have been the candidate in 2020...
