== What happens if Biden drops out? ==
While Donald Trump gave his best debate performance ever, Joe Biden looked like a patient who escaped from ''One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.'' We are used to him losing his train of thought. In this debate he did it several times in a single sentence. He blamed Trump for "family" separations at the border, although this policy is a result of a 1997 court decision called the ''Flores'' settlement. What solution is he proposing anyway? That children should stay with whoever traffics them across the border?
Biden told us that no U.S. soldiers died on his watch. Does he not remember the thirteen who were killed in the Kabul airport bombing?
Following the debate, the ''New York Times'' has called on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. Liberal comedians have turned on him. But with backing from a family conclave, from Barack Obama, and from Bill Clinton, Biden apparently has no intention of dropping out. Its all about Jill Biden, who can't get enough of being first lady, they say. For all the uproar about Biden's performance, the Biden/Trump poll numbers didn't move at all.
[https://www.mediaite.com/tv/all-lost-reelection-cnn-data-guru-explains-absolutely-dire-historic-trend-for-biden-after-losing-debate-to-trump/ For the incumbent to trail prior to the first debate and then lose the debate is a disastrous omen]. For years, the Dems have stressed that Trump is an existential threat and they were the party that would protect us from him. By that metric, Biden is now a liability. If they keep him on the ticket anyway, the Dems are a party that stands for what, exactly?
Sadly, [https://althouse.blogspot.com/2024/07/i-called-on-mr-biden-to-step-aside.html the political wonk's dream of an open convention is unlikely]. The Democratic National Committee has the power to pick a nominee without consulting the convention, which is presumably what they will do.
The precedent that comes to mind in 1944. The delegates to Democratic Convention understood that President Franklin Roosevelt was at death's door, but nominated him for another term anyway. For the vice presidential nomination, they switched out Stalin fanboy Henry Wallace for Harry Truman over Roosevelt's objections.
