This post could have been super interesting if Bill Kristol had tried seriously to imagine Trump's behavior and motivation.
But he doesn't, he's using this as a satire to cover the same points.
For instance, Trump is such a showman and makes so much noise, it is noteworthy that he is staying silent right now. He is even lowering the amount of noise he makes on his veepstake.
Trump is exhibiting the lesson from Sun-Tsu: "Never interrupt your enemy while he is making a mistake."
Right now, substituting anybody against Biden is a mistake, and that is why Trump is doing everything to stay out of the way.
Whenever he speaks, he's using reverse psychology. That's because the *only* thing Trump has again Biden is his age. That's why Sinclair (see Judd Leggum's amazing reporting) blasted false clips about Biden being old. That's why the NRCC has been circulating made up clips of Biden having dementia.
Biden is a stellar candidate and the best way to beat him is a psyops against Democrats — with the help of the media — to trick Democrats into dropping their best asset.
But — forget Bill, JVL posted a substantive counter-analaysis yesterday that I am still noodling over and digesting. Thinking about JVL's case for Biden staying — and trying to break it down (as JVL asks) is more interesting than playing around with Bill Kristol.
Bill Kristol is really depressed, and I like him and find his command of history very valuable, but right bow history doesn't seem to serve him, and right now he's a broken clock.
