This week is the Republican's national convention, but far bigger news is coming from the Democrat side where the drama continues practically hour by hour as they try to sort out, at this late date, who'll be on their ticket.
Efforts grow to convince Joe Biden to drop out, but - C'mon Man! - he's having none of it.
Rep. Jared Huffman of California, who in recent days had organized fellow Democrats to pressure the DNC to delay nominating Biden, called the party’s new, slower timeline [for the nomination of a candidate] “a positive step,” but said it was not likely to alleviate concerns about Biden’s viability.-- snip --“Many of us are perplexed that he continues to say he’s either tied or winning in the polls,” Huffman said. “We don’t understand what factual universe that is coming from.”
Avoiding delusion is a good thing. especially when it's self-delusion. Good luck with that, Rep. Huffman, maybe you'll succeed where no one else has so far. And plenty of Democratic leaders have tried, up to but not (as of today) including Obama.
FYI, you can find the factual universe of adverse polling results for Biden at this NYT's article:
Biden Called ‘More Receptive’ To Hearing Pleas to Step Aside.
Tick ... tick ... tick ...
