I fear that the the Democratic Party—by panicking over the debate and being too eager to throw Biden under the bus—is shooting itself in the foot. It’s a Big Tent Party, which is good. But getting all those strong and diverse voices to come to consensus at the Convention seems unlikely. I say stick with Biden unless he chooses to bow out. He has shown himself willing to surround himself with highly competent staff and advisors and to listen and delegate as needed. We are electing a President, not a champion debater. This would not be “circling the wagons.” It would be presenting a unified platform capable of surrounding and defeating the Republican loyalists and sycophants who encircle and empower Trump.
I suspect he won't drop out but I think he should. Whatever loyalist Democrats (like me,) might think most people saw a befuddled man whom they believe idls incompetent. This election is too important to let loyalty & stubbornness drive the decision. If Biden loses, we all lose.

I agree that we must defeat Trump.
