I have to admit that I've been in a bad funk since the debate. Biden's performance shook me. Of course, Trump's was scary and terrible, but most of us knew to expect it and have never considered supporting him.

But Biden's performance was like watching the star quarterback that has played an outstanding first half fall apart in the second half and now putting the game in jeopardy. Do we send in a fresh replacement that has much better odds for winning? I think yes sadly. The stakes are too high to take a chance of doing nothing.

David, I agree with your second option, the first one is not realistic. But I would argue that it should have been done regardless of the debate outcome and not as a direct response to it. The fact that party leaders couldn’t see this before the debate reflects more on them than anything else. So now this whole exercise can smack of being a reflexive response rather than a well thought out strategy which doesn’t bode well and didn’t have to happen. Let’s fix it with strategic thinking.
