Except that's not how Presidental succession works. If Biden dies, Harris gets the job, not a lifetime GOP yes-woman like Amy Coney-Barrett. The RBG comparison makes no sense.

Replacing the incumbent Presidental candidate a few months before the election is political suicide. No election has ever been won that way, and it's sure as fuck not a good time to start experimenting with bizarre and dangerous ideas.

Can you explain how you think Biden can win this race?

Hes down 10-15% in the same polls from 4 years ago, hes getting killed in the press, and everytime he goes in front of a camera he reminds people that hes in cognitive decline.

How can the Biden campaign pull off the greatest comeback in political history?

Running a new candidate might be a bizarre and dangerous idea, but the current path leads directly to a Trump reelection.

Just remember that polls made it seem like the far right was going to overwhelmingly win.

And then they didn’t.
