“It's obviously a disaster for the Democrats. They've got 40 days to find a replacement for him, which is going to be really difficult. 40-day limit is because of the Ohio ballot rules.
To get on the ballot, I think you have till August 4th. In any case, because of Biden being the incumbent, they have to convince him to step down, which I don't think actually will be that hard.
But then they have the harder job of convincing Harris to step down alongside him, because if she doesn't voluntarily step aside, she's going to get beaten up by Trump. She loses very badly to him in the polls.
And then they have to replace the entire Biden-Harris ticket with probably, I would guess, Whitmer and somebody else. This is where it gets really tricky.
Maybe Hillary makes a comeback. I don't think they can quite run Newsom. He's not ready, and California's record is terrible, and he would lose all the swing states.
So I think the Democrats are in a very difficult position.
And my question about who's been in charge all along, it's been semi-obvious that it hasn't been Joe. So I think it's just a good moment to reflect upon how the bureaucracy in this country, and frankly in the entire West, is highly entrenched and is on autopilot.
Imagine if you were an investor in a company or a board member and you walk into your board meeting and you realize the CEO hasn't shown up to work for two years, and really just the VPs have been running amok and doing whatever they wanted.
You'd know at that point that anything run by committee is incredibly inefficient and wasteful and almost kleptocratic. So you would expect the company to have essentially been looted the entire time.”
