Elsewhere, more responsible people are positing that the reason the Democrats offered Joe Biden up as a human sacrifice in a debate with Trump well before the party conventions was to determine whether or not he was going to last through the campaign.
Me, I'm willing to make a wild, unsubstantiated suggestion because I've got nothing at all riding on these blog posts.
What if the plan is to have Biden fall apart on stage? That is, they juice him with amphetamines before the debate just like they did before the State of the Union speech, only this time they shortchange him. Instead of enough drugs to carry him through 90 minutes of ranting, they only give enough for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes of spittle-flecked raging, he subsides into those weird whispers and finally just falls apart completely.
If they did that, he would obviously have to replaced as the candidate before the convention and the DNC could pick their own nominee in a bong-smoke-filled back room. I've heard others say that passing over Kamala would be a problem, but I don't believe that. They could nominate Newsom and he could pick a Hispanic drag queen as VP or something like that and everyone could get behind him/her/them/xim because behind it would be the safest place to be.
It's all winning, if you ask me.
