I defended Bill's arguments in the Monday Morning Shots about should Biden withdraw and that it might be possible at this juncture for the Dem party (that inlcudes me, as a voter and a donor) to pick another candidate. On yesterday's TNL, Sarah and Tim insisted that there is no other Dem candidate. In his podcast This morning, Ezra Klein said "Biden is faltering and Democrats have no plan B. There is another path to winning in 2024 — and I think they should take it. But it would require them to embrace an old-fashioned approach to winning a campaign."

Of course I would have waited until I'd heard it and then said what it was about, but it was about timing, not sloppiness.

Maybe you should listen first before making a conclusion.
I didn't make a conclusion. I said I had a suspicion. I listened and that is exactly what he is saying.
