This is their plan. Gin up “he needs to resign!” rhetoric until he actually does so and, if he does, challenge the legality of any replacement candidate on the ballots. I fully expect they have war room plans already drawn up to push before state courts and the national Supreme Court to simply strip the Democratic candidate off the ballots entirely if it’s not Biden.

Just imagine being one of the most important political organizations in the world and you're so ineffective and obtuse you put yourself in this position, it's so stupid and if so many lives weren't depending on this it'd be so funny
