But things changed with the debate disaster on Thursday night. Obviously if it were then yes, we’d also be calling for others to fall in line behind our only option. So there’s ample opportunity for us to pick our best candidate to take down Trump for good, and it’s actually fortunate we’d had the debate this early. Why is this so important, and why are Krugman, Kristof, Friedman and others right to bring up the need to discuss having another Democrat at the top of our ticket? But Biden unfortunately performed dismally, not only in counter-punching at those easy opportunities, but even in basic communication and staying coherent.
